About

I’ve always been fascinated by the human condition.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve taken on the role of an observer, watching and wondering about people’s motivations and stories.

This sense of curiosity moves me to deeply understand human needs and desires. It has shaped my professional work experience as brand strategist working to help brands create relationships with consumers, and as a cultural researcher and trends & insights expert focused on decoding human behavior and cultural experiences. And it led me to turn inward and journey into myself. It inspired me to become an active participant in my own healing and unfolding.

This sense of curiosity fuels me as I continue to explore what it means to be fully human.

Of Folk is A movement that inspires and empowers healing, well-being and community. Together we cultivate more consciousness, compassion and understanding.

I hold space for self-reflection and connection

I hold safe space for self-reflection and connection through a process of self-healing based on connection to the breath and body, movement of stuck energy and emotions, and opening of the heart. I also help organizations create authentic and compelling connections with consumers, and more inclusive, creative and empathic environments and communities.

My Guiding Principles

I trust what is and surrender to the unfolding. 

I believe in the power of rituals and stories as a means to connect with ourselves and others.

I am deeply passionate about helping women cultivate more consciousness and compassion as they navigate their lives as women and mothers, and connect more deeply with their children. 

I am committed to creating inclusive conversations and experiences that foster radical awareness and change, and inspire and empower the healing and wellbeing of diverse communities. 

I hope to be a clear channel for healing and connection for others. 

I built a strong connection with the healing arts through my own healing journey and spiritual expansion

My love for yoga began in 1996 when I took my first yoga class as an elective course in college. Yoga gained a more prominent role in my life with the birth of my son and my transition into motherhood. I immersed myself in spiritual study to heal my wounds and understand myself on a deeper level. I explored many facets of energy work, trauma-informed healing and therapeutic touch. The teachings and practices I’ve studied have led me back to my inner most Self and taught me to live in the flow of grace. I’ve learned to trust what is and surrender to the unfolding. I’ve cultivated more consciousness, compassion and self-love. And I’ve learned to relate to my emotions, thoughts and experiences in new ways. These practices have become my pathway to finding inner peace, deep connection and easeful living.
