Have you ever gotten deep into someone’s heart & understood them less?
Delving into the depths of someone's heart often reveals complexities that defy easy understanding—this is an exploration that drives my daily passion. I'm captivated by the multidimensional human experience, with its wisdom, contradictions, and profound depths.
I work with the languages of art, breath, and body to explore these depths.
As an educator, I create 1:1 and group curricula and programming around healing and development through trauma-informed meditation, social emotional arts, and somatic movement. Check out my offerings here.
Alongside Awaken Pittsburgh, a mindfulness and meditation non-profit, I develop and deliver mindfulness programs.
You can catch me coordinating arts education programming in collaboration with City Theatre and other Pittsburgh arts based organizations.
As an artist, you can see my work in the theater, music, and poetry world in the Pittsburgh region.
As a practitioner, I am dedicated to uncovering the layers of myself through Non-Dualism, Vedic philosophy and meditation, yoga, and somatic practice.
My training includes..
BFA in Musical Theater from Point Park University
Meditation Certification from Sarvaguna Yoga Institute in Dharamshala, India
Social Emotional Arts Certification from UCLA's Arts & Healing School
Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Certification through The Embody Lab
Integrative Community Therapy Certification through Visible Hands Collective,
based on the model created by Adalberto Barreto.
I have completed many hours of training in anti-violence in education, ethics, polyvagal theory, non-violent communication, nervous system resilience, ancestral healing and spiritual development.
Outside of my work, I am most likely dancing to live music, drinking tea or sharing meals with friends, and connecting with nature.
