You move quickly, solve problems and carry responsibility with ease. For years, your body came along for the ride – until it didn't.

I am the founder of a somatic Pilates & Yoga studio in Union Square, NYC, where my team supports clients across the tristate area there. My roots are in teaching—I began my career as an international Pilates teacher trainer and Master Pilates teacher. Even then, embodiment and lived experience were always at the core of my approach, which I also explored as a dance performance artist.

My work is heart-centered and informed by an embryological perspective: the heart develops before the nervous system. From this lens, the body, mind, heart, and spirit are not separate—they are always unfolding together.

Over the past decade, I’ve deepened this work through training as a transformational healing coach and shamanic guide, allowing me to support others in moving toward deeper wholeness.

I support clients locally here in PA, NYC, and all over the world in remote healing and coaching sessions.

Creating a flower mandala to hold our prayers, intentions, and dreams. And later releasing into the water for spirit to carry them.

This is from our last healing circle.

We end with a shamanic journey. So much wisdom and healing unfolds.

So grateful for the women that show up!
