After ten years working in the locations department in the film industry in Spain and New York I left that life to pursue my passion for body-centered therapeutic work.  My seven year journey took me to Arizona, California, the US Virgin Islands and back to New York.  Along the way I dove deeply into my own healing process, providing me with the foundation from which I can now hold space for others.

I trained in Thai Yoga Bodywork through the Sunshine Network in Thailand and with Kam Thye Chow at the Lotus Palm School in Montreal. For a few years my specialty was offering, along with my colleague, side by side double Thai Yoga BodyWork sessions for couples. www.lotuspalm.com

After a year of intensely living and learning about the expressive arts process, I graduated from the Tamalpa Institute, Center for Movement Based Expressive Arts Education and Therapy. During that year Anna Halprin, co-founder, honored me with the invitation to live as a work study student in her studio on the foothills of Mt. Tamalpais.  In that position I was able to attend the workshops offered by Anna in her Mountain Studio and to see first hand how this artist and visionary worked. www.tamalpa.org

Back on the east coast I undertook an additional two year training in, and am a graduate of, Leven Trainings in Movement Therapy.  Part of that training included certification as a Shake Your Soul dance instructor. www.shakeyoursoul.com

My connection to the Omega Institute is growing as I offer workshops and individual sessions in Body-Centered Expressive Therapy as well as Shake Your Soul dance movement classes.

I also offer Thai Yoga Bodywork and BCET sessions at Everyday Wellness in Red Hook, NY and at various retreat centers in the area.

I am the proud mother of a delightful young daughter Ava Christina.
