About Me & My Philosophy

Communication includes the ways we listen, connect, lead, teach, tell stories, navigate conflict, express our needs, and make meaning in our lives. 

For more than fifteen years, that curiosity has led me through many different fields. I've worked as a communications professional serving mission-driven organizations, foundations, schools, and businesses. I've taught yoga and meditation, owned a yoga studio, trained teachers, supported families as a birth doula and postpartum practitioner, studied human development, and spent thousands of hours exploring how people learn, grow, heal, and relate to one another.

On paper, those experiences can appear unrelated. To me, they have always been part of the same conversation.

Whether I was helping an organization tell a clearer story, supporting a woman through a major life transition, teaching a room full of students, or facilitating a difficult conversation, I kept returning to the same insight:
The quality of our communication is inseparable from the quality of our relationship with ourselves.

Over time, that understanding became the foundation of my work.

Today, I bring together a unique blend of experience in communications, education, storytelling, women's health, leadership development, and contemplative practice - specifically the Vedic wisdoms - to help women communicate with greater clarity, presence, and self-trust.

My academic background includes a BA in Media & Professional Communication and an MA in Education & Human Development. I have spent more than fifteen years teaching and studying yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, yoga therapy, and classical wisdom traditions, and more than twenty years as a dancer.

These traditions continue to shape how I understand embodiment, attention, relationship, and human flourishing.

I live in Virginia with my husband and our three children, where we are slowly tending an old home, growing gardens, and building what we lovingly call our Flower House - a place that hosts gatherings, conversations, and community around many of the themes explored in this work.

When people work with me, my hope is not simply that they become better communicators. That will evolve naturally. 

My hope is that they learn to trust themselves more deeply, relate more honestly, and discover that communication can be a practice of presence, connection, and belonging.

I am a forever student of communication. Not simply communication as speaking or writing; rather, communication as relationship with others, and most importantly ourselves.
