If you want to upgrade your life, your health & your well-being, you’re in the right place.

I’ve been teaching forward thinking people how to mindfully elevate their health & well-being to live a confident & happy life for the past 13 years.

I’ve been doing this for myself for even longer – basically since I had a life altering encounter with PTSD & substance abuse in 2001 after 9/11.

At that time, I was a very different person…living in New York City, working as a fashion designer in a fast paced corporate environment, and taking very little time for myself and my health.

Yoga & Meditation found me and my life began to transform. I learned that I could heal parts of me that felt stressed, tired, and unbalanced

This life-altering knowledge set me on a new path.

I became dedicated to taking better care of myself, studying yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. After many, many hours spent on my yoga mat, I completed my first Yoga teacher training in 2008.

Over the years I’ve been very fortunate to earn several teacher training certifications & study with many great Eastern and Western teachers, both in the USA and India.

My personal studies with HH the Dalai Lama, Erich Schiffmann, Yogi Sivadas, Leslie Kaminoff, Jillian Pransky, Carrie Parker Gasteau, and Dharma Mittra, and many others have illuminated my path.

As my spiritual pursuits continued, I was still working at my corporate job, frequently traveling to Asia and India, and spending most other nights and weekends at my yoga studio in lower Manhattan. However, one day I reached a point where I knew that I had to make a change.

Within a few months of deciding this, I closed my yoga studio, left my corporate career, and moved to India. (BIG CHANGE!)

During my studies in India, I encountered Reiki Healing. This was another significant discovery that healed energetic wounds and emotional baggage I’d been carrying around for far too long.

Reiki is a powerful Japanese healing technique that offers a continuous flow of life-enhancing self-awareness and personal transformation. After my first healing session, I knew I couldn’t keep this technique to myself and soon thereafter completed my Reiki Master Healer training & initiation.

As my time living in India was winding down, I decided to stop in Italy on my return trip back to New York.

Within the first 24 hours I felt something special here in Tuscany.

Perhaps it was my mother’s Italian heritage, perhaps it was the beautiful culture…something called me to Tuscany.

Within one year of that visit I’d packed up my New York life and moved to Tuscany, launched my wellness company, and began learning the true essence of “slow living”.

Slow living is exactly what it sounds like – approaching every day life at a slower pace. It’s intentional. It’s mindful. It’s thoughtfully curated. It’s care and respect for how you invest your time and energy in your work, your relationships, your leisure, and your community.

Contrary to popular belief – I deeply believe that you don’t have to “hustle” and work really hard to be “successful” at anything in life.

If that was true then every hard working “hustler” in the world would be “successful”, right?

Success (how YOU define it), healing, and personal growth all happen when you start undoing the overdoing.

These experiences also start to happen when you begin to unlearn old programming and drop expired stories that no longer serve you.

You don’t have to struggle and force things all the time – it’s simply not the way life works.

Personal transformation requires us to soften into ourselves, become more receptive, and honor both our light, and our shadows. We all have both.

The methods I teach are not a workout – they’re a work-in.

By merging the Spiritual & Scientific techniques of Yoga, Meditation, Breathwork, Energy Healing (Reiki), and Plant Medicine, I’ve helped transform & awaken the lives of thousands of students.

The core of my Dharma, or purpose, is to show individuals the pathways to reclaim their wellbeing, enhance their personal growth, and amplify their connection to their Highest Self so that they can make an intentional & influential impact on the planet.

As a teacher and holistic health leader, I offer a combination of philosophy, spirituality, and practicality that guides students to elevate their consciousness and life visions to new heights.

One of my core values is self-love & self-care, which are widely deficient in our societies today.

You’ll find that as you begin to direct your energy, attention, and practices towards these two principles, you’ll start to create a life you love to live everyday.

I’m living proof!

The woman who was once a fast-paced (and super stressed!) New Yorker is now a Slow-Living Americana based in Tuscany living a life she loves.

If I can successfully make the changes I’ve made, you can too.

There are many ways I can help you, no matter where you are on YOUR path.
