I believe strongly in the healing power of love.
In my healing journey, I have learned to trust love as a force for change—more deeply than anything else.
As a for- and non-profit leader, with 20 years of experience working in grassroots healing, restorative economics and solidarity movements, I support emerging BIPOC/Queer leaders, founder-driven nonprofits and the architects of an inclusive philanthropic sector. I believe all movement-building, leadership and evolution is about heart. In my practice, I help clients and teams to remember heart-centered values that enable profound leadership & evolution.
Leader, Healer & Therapist
I am a nonprofit leader, trauma therapist + grassroots community activist with divergent degrees: two Bachelors in Healing and Environmental Sciences (Queens University, Barbara Brennan School) and an MBA from Harvard Business School. I have helped many heal from the demands of a “high achiever path” and to align with a deeper source of purpose within. I have always supported alternative ways of organizing work, capital and employment to benefit humans and the earth.
My family/ancestry has shaped my healing practice. I work with many BIPOC/Queer clients whose families (like mine) have struggled with migration, belonging, the loss of ancestral traditions and racial'/gender wounding.
I care deeply about inclusion: 20 years ago, I co-founded an award-winning Community Healing Space in Manhattan (Reciprocity Foundation) along with a Social Enterprise to support meaningful employment and the Solidarity Economy.
As a longtime environmentalist, I lead earth and global healings using this platform and guide nature, plant spirit medicine and sacred earth retreats.
I believe healing brings joy, creativity and pleasure into our lives. I write poetry and fiction, dance, drum, teach meditation, swim and try to love a little more each day.
Leadership & Inclusion
I help high performing people to heal from challenges in the for- or non-profit sectors. I also work with emerging leaders on their organizations, fundraising and boards.
Family/Ancestral healings
I support you in clearing ancestral pain/trauma (maternal/paternal) and to create positive relationships with those who are alive and deceased.
Eldership
Why get old when you can grow wise? But what is the path to eldership? I support clients to walk through the seasons of their lives with purpose, clarity, resolve and vision.
Women & Power
Capitalist and patriarchal structures tend to minimize the voice and power of women. I support your journey to rise, lead and create fearlessly.
Grief/Loss
Our bodies respond to loss of people, roles and purpose in dramatic ways. I help you to find your way back to solid ground as you process grief and create new ways of being.
