I found a path that fulfills me. I started by following what was true for me, even when I didn’t understand it. Over the years I learned how to listen to myself and to trust that wisdom. It has allowed me to create a meaningful life that supports me materially and inspires me spiritually. I also had to grow into the person who was capable of living it.

I developed a wide range of professional experience, beginning with a Master’s in Behavioral Psychology. I went on to do education and training at Lucent Technologies, teach psychology at Louisiana State University, and serve as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in Nepal. I became an award-winning professional guide in Bhutan and Nepal and founded a nonprofit for poverty alleviation in Nepal. In the San Francisco Bay Area, I have launched and directed international exchange programs, offered trainings at institutions from Stanford University to Bank of the West, and eventually became a certified coach. Along the way, I sat a silent meditation retreat for six weeks, ran a marathon, taught yoga, became a Wilderness First Responder, and explored shores and mountains across the West.

I believe that when you find the path to your highest self, you begin to grow in new ways and offer your talents into the world with creativity and power. I want to help you explore what makes you come alive. And support you in building the skills you need to live it.

I started coaching because I love supporting people through personal transformation. I love working with people one-on-one to make their lives better, easier, and more rewarding. Stress and difficulty don’t disappear, but we can navigate them with improved skills and create a life that supports us. Through my own experience I have found integrated mind-body practices to simply be the most powerful way to access wisdom and real growth.
