What our time together looks like:

Compassion in capitalism is the lens and framework from which I navigate my life and work. We live in a system designed to exploit and oppress us, hold us in relentless competition with each other, and denigrate us to the point of forced burn-out. No amount of coaching will pull people out of poverty, stop climate change, or break down this system that we are all forced to participate in. Capitalism separates us by design and is purposefully built on exploitation, oppression, and violence. The container I hold for healing also holds this truth. It is within this understanding that we actively deconstruct and dismantle the hyper-individualism and separateness forced on us. But what can we do? Life becomes a breeding ground for Nihilism and existential dread - which can seem daunting and inescapable. How do we navigate suffering when there is so much we don’t have any control over?

Specializing in mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and principles drawn from Buddhism, our work together will help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and challenge the status quo—not by pushing harder, but by becoming more present.

In a world that glorifies hustle and constant doing, I guide you toward a new way of being—where clarity, purpose, and peace are found not in speed, but in stillness.

In the midst of it all, there is still purpose and meaning in connection and belonging. For thousands of years Mindfulness, meditation, and Yoga have stood as foundational pillars in challenging the status quo. These practices are not to make us docile and suggestible, but to see the truth of reality as it is.

• Yoga is a practice and process of uncovering the truth - a truth that is already there, but has been lost to shame, judgement, and the influences of capitalism. Over the last 10 years, Yin Yoga has intertwined itself into every facet of my being. Slowing down, softening, and being instead of constantly doing has become the rhythm of my life. Yin is a practice of yielding and noticing patterns of where we push ourselves. It shows us where we need tenderness and care and how to meet ourselves and our bodies there.

• Mindfulness comes from the Pali word ‘sati,’ which means to remember. The western world has watered down the true depth of this ancient knowledge to a secular practice devoid of connection.

• Buddhism - I have been practicing Buddhism for almost a decade. I was Initially drawn to the contemplative practices of meditation and concentration held in the container of silence and stillness. Over time I connected to the third jewel of Buddhism, ‘Sangha,’ or community. This practice and path is not meant to be traveled alone, but with each other. I was originally drawn to the structure and ceremony of Zen, but my current practice and study leans toward the Theravada tradition and the teachings of my teacher, Tina Rasmussen.
