I am dedicated to creating experiences for people to evolve – by developing and fine-tuning their self-awareness of body, mind and emotions. I do this through meditation facilitation, inspired dialogue and cultivating deep and meaningful partnerships. I believe that everyone has a secret sauce and my goal is to cultivate opportunities for talent to be unlocked and leveraged for the betterment of the individual and larger community.
