Come Explore Atlanta With Me

I’m an Urban Experience Curator.

My work is built around mindfulness, movement, and regulation—creating experiences that help you connect with yourself, other people, and the city around you.

Just moved to Atlanta?
Visiting the city?
Or maybe you’ve lived here for years and want to experience it differently?

Come explore with me.

We’ll walk, move, discover neighborhoods, find hidden gems, take in the art, culture, energy, and rhythm of Atlanta—and most importantly, be present for the experience.

This isn’t just a tour.

It’s a different way to experience the city.

Lately, I’ve been making my way from Old Fourth Ward Park to Krog Street, stopping to practice yoga, then heading over to Little Five Points where I’ll sometimes practice at the OutKast mural before making my way toward Midtown.

Whether I’m walking or riding my bike, I use the time to work on my breathing, movement, awareness and observation. I’m not just traveling through the city. I’m experiencing it.

I love late summer in Atlanta. You can see the beginning of the transition into fall. Beautiful wildflowers are coming through along the BeltLine while the trees still hold onto their deep emerald green. There’s something special about watching the city change with the seasons.

And this is one of the best times of year to explore Atlanta on foot or by bike. When it’s not 95 degrees outside, moving through the city becomes a completely different experience.

I want to show people the many sides of Atlanta that I’ve come to know: Old Fourth Ward, Inman Park, Cabbagetown, East Atlanta Village, Little Five Points, the Eastside BeltLine and the hidden gems in between.

Maybe you want to walk. Maybe you want to ride. Maybe you want to see some of Atlanta’s art, neighborhoods and local spots. Maybe you just want to get outside, move your body, clear your head and experience the city differently.

That’s what I do.

I’m an Urban Experience Curator.

My work is built around mindfulness, movement, and regulation. I create experiences that help people connect with themselves, each other, and this beautiful city of Atlanta.

If you’re interested in exploring Atlanta with me, I’m currently offering personalized urban experiences. We can walk, ride, explore neighborhoods, discover local spots, or simply create an experience around what you’re interested in.

Want to explore? Call or text me at 404-660-8179.

My Life Purpose Is to Enjoy Life.

I’m a simple person, and that statement aligns with who I am.

For the last five years, I’ve been rebuilding my life. Ever since I came out of a coma, I’ve been searching every day for ways to show my appreciation for the gift of a second run at life, while also finding ways to expand that life.

Atlanta has become a huge part of that journey.

This is a beautiful city. It’s full of art, creativity, amazing people, dogs everywhere, and one of the most beautiful urban tree canopies you’ll find. Every day here can be an adventure.

I’ve also had some life threatening moments in this city. I’ve experienced homelessness here. I have plenty of negative experiences I could focus on.

But I choose to explore the possibilities in the positive.

Through exploring Atlanta, I found yoga. I found ways to regulate my nervous system, develop my emotional intelligence, and become more connected to myself.

For years now, I’ve made the city my practice space.

I practice bodywork, yoga, breathwork, walking, and movement throughout Atlanta. The streets, parks, BeltLine, sidewalks, trees and neighborhoods have become an ever evolving studio. A place to practice. A place to reflect. A place to grow my interoception and become more aware of what is happening within me.

Eventually, I realized this wasn’t just something I wanted to do for myself.

I want to extend these experiences to other people.

I want people to discover their own ways to enjoy their city. To move through it differently. To reconnect with themselves. To find moments of peace, curiosity, adventure and possibility right where they are.

Maybe we don’t always find our purpose by searching for some grand answer.

Maybe we find it through the life we actually live.

What we do most is that life.

And I’ve decided that I want mine to be lived fully, intentionally and with enjoyment.

Want to experience Atlanta differently?

I’m now offering curated Atlanta urban expeditions, built around what you want to experience. Art, neighborhoods, parks, movement, food, trees, history, hidden gems, or simply a few hours of exploring the city with someone who knows how to move through it.

If you’re ready to enjoy your city a little differently, let’s create an experience around you.

I hope you’re enjoying yours too.

This week I've been giving my attention back to art.

I finally got the chance to create something in the Krog Street Tunnel. I love visiting Krog throughout the spring and late summer. The flowers are always changing, there's so much to explore, and the tunnel itself is never the same twice.

I haven't been making much art lately. I've been in a creative slump for a while, probably for a lot of different reasons. So being able to create again felt amazing.

Earlier this week I spent time at the High Museum. The American art collection and the photography exhibition left me feeling inspired. Since then I've been walking even more, studying murals, street art, and the small details between Little Five Points and Krog Street.

I've also been rehabbing my body after a fall from my bike. Two days ago I walked 23 miles. Walking has become part of how I rebuild—not just physically, but mentally too.

I'm the type of person who shows more than I tell. I had to learn how to calm and steady myself here in Atlanta, and I practice that every day. I move through this city with gratitude, always hoping to find one genuine "thank you" each day.

That's the experience I want to share.

When you come for a walk with me, there isn't a lecture. I point things out. We stop. We notice. We breathe. We let the city slow us down for a while.

My goal is simple: to give you the opportunity to experience stress-free moments while walking through one of the most beautiful cities I know.

I'm at Old Fourth Ward Park every day. My phone number is on the page.

Give me a call, and let's go for a walk.

Urban Regulation Walks

Open to the Public

Meetup Location: Old Fourth Ward Park

Schedule:
Monday–Friday: 12:15 PM
Saturday & Sunday: 7:30 AM

Join me for an Urban Regulation Walk through Atlanta.

We'll move at a relaxed pace using intentional breathing, mindful observation, and natural movement to help regulate the nervous system while exploring the city.

Possible destinations include Little Five Points, East Atlanta Village, Grant Park, Inman Park, Cabbagetown, Midtown, and on weekends, Buckhead. Every walk is different. We simply keep walking until you're ready to stop.

I typically continue until around 4:00 PM, returning to Old Fourth Ward Park.

Along the way, you'll experience Atlanta's parks, neighborhoods, street art, murals, and green spaces while learning practical ways to reduce stress and build resilience through movement in a real urban environment.

This isn't about racing or reaching a destination. It's about using the city itself as a space for regulation, awareness, and well-being.

For the last few years I’ve been developing a movement practice rooted in real life, real environments, and consistency.

My approach combines bodyweight training, yoga, cycling, walking, breath work, mobility, and recovery while using the and the city itself as the training ground.

I’m not interested in separating movement from life.

I train in parks, on hills, near murals, through traffic, beside trains, under bridges, and across neighborhoods. Some days the pace is intense. Some days the work is slower and focused on recovery and regulation. Learning when to push and when to slow down is part of the practice.

A lot of my methodology was developed through lived experience. Recovery, social anxiety, instability, endurance training, long rides through , and learning how to reconnect with my body in real world environments instead of controlled spaces.

I keep the training simple and accessible:
bodyweight exercises, cycling, walking hills, mobility work, breath work, sun salutations, and consistent movement.

No extreme fitness culture.
No trying to be perfect.
No pretending recovery and training are separate things.

I’m strength oriented more than flexibility oriented, so my yoga practice reflects that. I use yoga as a tool for recovery, awareness, mobility, regulation, and sustainability. The goal isn’t to force the body. The goal is to build a stronger relationship with it.

One day we may ride the east side.
Another day we may train on the west.
Some days may focus on endurance.
Others may focus on slowing down and reconnecting.

What matters most is consistency and learning how to move through life with more awareness, confidence, resilience, and joy.

This is more than exercise for me.
It’s a lifestyle and a practice that has helped me rebuild myself physically, mentally, and socially.

Now I’m ready to begin sharing it with others.

One thing I really appreciate about Atlanta is how accessible art is. Murals, graffiti, galleries, installations, the city is full of it. Riding or walking through Atlanta, you constantly run into unexpected work. Sometimes hidden in plain sight. If you never slow down or look in a certain direction, you’ll miss entire worlds.

That’s one reason I move through the city the way I do. Art has become a major part of how I experience Atlanta.

I spend a lot of time around Krog Street Tunnel because it’s alive. It changes constantly. It’s a living and evolving mural shaped by the people moving through the city every day. No two visits are exactly the same.

But the is different.

I’ve been going to Second Sunday at the High for a couple of years now. Sometimes every month, sometimes I wait for a new exhibit to arrive. The High gives me access to work I deeply connect with, especially the impressionists. Standing in front of the Monets and studying their brush strokes, their use of color, their layering and movement, it inspires me every time. I really enjoy studying the masters.

For a long time though, my experience at the museum was rushed.

I would get there 45 minutes early to beat the line, run to the fourth floor, and try to see everything before the rooms became crowded. I saw the art, but not in the way I truly wanted to. I wanted to feel comfortable enough in the environment to fully immerse myself in the art, the room, and the experience itself.

Art is meant to be experienced. It’s also fun sharing that experience with others, even strangers.

This Sunday felt different.

I didn’t rush there. I actually rode extra miles before heading to the museum. I regulated myself through breath, movement, and the intensity of the hills. Regulation has become part of my daily practice. Sometimes riding through Atlanta can become overstimulating, so I stop, breathe, stretch, move, and reconnect with the moment. Sometimes it’s a full practice. Sometimes it’s something simple. Even consciously releasing tension from my hands and body helps me reset.

By the time I got to the High, I felt present.

For the first time in a long time, I was able to slow down and truly experience the museum. I took my time studying the work. I felt comfortable in the environment. I allowed myself to be immersed in the art and the people around me instead of trying to escape the room.

I also create art myself. Sometimes I paint when inspiration hits. Other times I work with my hands in different ways, like designing and making bags. I genuinely enjoy the process of creation.

This weekend reminded me that healing isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes healing looks like finally being calm enough to stand still in front of a painting and truly see it.

Can’t wait to visit my impressionist friends again next month.

A lot of people are not lazy.

They’re overstimulated.

Too much noise. Too much information. Too much time disconnected from the body while the mind stays constantly active.

My work focuses on regulation through movement inside real-world urban environments.

Not escaping the city.

Learning how to move through it differently.

Through intentional walking, trauma-informed yoga, mobility work, breath awareness, pacing, and presence, I help people reconnect to themselves in practical and accessible ways.

A lot of people do not feel comfortable in traditional wellness spaces. They want grounding without performance, pressure, or having to fit into a wellness culture.

That’s part of why I teach the way I do.

The goal is not perfection.

The goal is greater awareness, mobility, stability, and nervous system regulation that can carry into everyday life.

Refinement

I like to start with this: I’m simple, not stupid.

I focus on fundamentals. What’s the point of the lesson? Does it actually work when practiced? What are my personal results, and do they match my expectations?

I practice alchemy in a practical way. Not turning iron into gold, but refining the self. Not religious, not overly spiritual. Just asking what’s useful, what’s repeatable, and what actually holds up over time.

If I’m working on riding hills, I use my commute across Atlanta as my training ground. Which hills am I walking today? Where do I sprint and burn out? Where do I pace myself? I adjust based on what my body is telling me.

Observation is a big part of it. Slowing down and releasing judgment is something I’ve been working on. It’s not automatic.

I’ve learned that even in turbulent situations, there can be something steady, even something meaningful. Not turning bad into good, but learning not to expect everything to go one way. Just doing my best regardless of the outcome.

I’m learning not to identify myself with my situation. My environment changes, but that doesn’t define me.

Growth, for me, comes through refinement.

Taking the time to rest, reset, regulate, and then appreciating the time I do have to work.

That’s my practice.

What’s yours?

Rest and Decompress

This is the time of year I love being outside. For the past few weeks, I’ve been pushing hard with my training, building endurance and working toward eventually doing triathlons. Right now, that looks like a lot of controlled cardio and long rides.

But the heat is starting to show up. It’s been in the 80s, and I can feel how my body is adjusting. It might be a little early for this kind of weather, but I’m enjoying it. The warmth, the air, even catching the scent of magnolias blooming.

Still, balance is everything.

I’ve hit a few walls recently. Physically, I reached my current limits, and I had to bring my yoga practice back in, not just as training, but as recovery. I started noticing the stress building up.

Riding through a city like Atlanta requires constant awareness. You have to stay ready at all times, and that tension adds up. So at the end of the day, I decompress.

My practice becomes about release.

Tension from the neck down.
Calming the senses.
Focusing on breath while holding each position.

Sometimes it’s active. Sometimes it’s slow, seated, and modified.

Either way, it’s intentional.

I let go of the moments from the day, because riding through Atlanta, there are always moments. Instead of holding onto them, I come back into my body, find where the tension is, and work through it.

That’s the balance. Push when it’s time to push, and know when to reset.
