I’m an author, speaker, and facilitator who loves creating experiences that invite people to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. Through women’s circles, retreats, workshops, and speaking events, I invite people to explore the power of listening, storytelling, and shared human experience.

More than twenty years ago, during a busy season of life as a professional photographer, writer, wife, and mother of three, I discovered yoga. What began as a physical practice soon became a sacred space for grounding and reflection. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013, the practices of gentle movement, mindfulness, and deep listening became steady companions on my healing journey.

Today, my work extends beyond the mat. I lead women’s circles, retreats, and workshops, and speak with organizations and communities about themes such as the art of listening, trusting our inner voice, resilience, and the healing power of gathering in community.

My hope is always the same: that people leave feeling a little more connected to themselves, to one another, and to what it means to live fully alive.

If something here speaks to you, I’d love to connect — whether through a women’s circle, workshop, retreat, time on the mat, a speaking engagement, or by exploring my story in Deserts to Mountaintops: Choosing Healing Through Radical Self-Acceptance.

My hometown is Alexandria, Virginia, where I live with my husband and treasure time with our three grown children and extended family. When I’m not leading circles or teaching, you’ll likely find me traveling, near the water, practicing yoga outdoors, or dancing under the stars to live music.
