“My passion is creating learning environments for individuals, businesses and communities to explore mindful living and the unique value it can bring to them.”

I am a Reiki Master, Certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher and trained in trauma awareness for mindfulness and yoga.

I trained with the University of Massachusetts Medical School’s Center for Mindfulness as an instructor of their Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program and have been teaching mindfulness practices - meditation, yoga, and present moment awareness - for more than 20 years. A career in the corporate world, I experienced first-hand the negative effects of stress and have built my practice on sharing techniques to manage stress in today’s world. Being part of the HUSH Providence initiative allows me to develop a deeper connection with the people of Providence and Rhode Island. I love the simplicity of Thich Nhat Hanh’s wisdom and recommend his book Peace is Every Step, The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life. My favorite quote from him is actually a full meditation practice. “Breathing in, I know that I am breathing in and breathing out, I know that I am breathing out.”
