I sought refuge from a very early age in the quiet moments within a child pose held in a dark closet. I found freedom in losing my way in the forest. I’ve felt the vastness of diversity while floating upon the warm sea. I gained clarity from moments of silence that stretched for days and then years. I understand the shifting nature of a human mind. I’ve learned that nourishing and caring for my body, mind and soul is an obligation I accepted at birth.
I have formally immersed myself in the study and practice of Sankhya philosophy, Yoga, Ayurveda, Curanderismo, Mindfulness, Herbalism, Nurat Boran, Classical and Ecstatic Dance and Vipassana Meditation. I have led countless students through the practices I know to be helpful. I have guided numerous ceremonies honoring moments in lives that are all too fleeting. I’ve told a few of my stories to expose my vulnerability. I’ve danced with my darkest shadows and made them my friends.
I am experienced at curating and facilitating life changing experiences. I utilize ancient healing practices and modern science to bring truth to the surface of consciousness. Then with loving kindness and unconditional acceptance, I deny you the opportunity to return to your shadows. Then I’ll remind you how to play. I’ll remind you how to talk to the trees. I’ll remind you how to listen. I will listen to you. I will see you. I will understand your perspective.
Then I will slip back into the jungle and return to my personal path towards healing.
In the times of my own chaos, I have trained myself to extinguish my own voice to allow for the supreme self to be heard within the hum. When I truly listened. I know I am a lightning rod for chaos. When you cross my path, you are in the midst of a personal transition. We have been brought together to learn from each other.
