I’m an Holistic Healing and Embodiment Practitioner, based in Toronto. The heart of my work is helping clients ground, calm, and connect to their inner guidance. With an emphasis on somatic and energy work, we go through the body to find a sense of calm and connection, which in turn helps to settle the mind and heart. In this place of calm and connection, we can best support our entire system’s healing, and access our inner guidance. It never ceases to amaze me the wisdom and connection clients can access in session, and how their lives transform as a result.

My clients and students include entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors, filmmakers, artists, and other professionals across corporate and creative fields. I know the demands they face well. I graduated from a top-tier business school, and worked in national and international sales and marketing across corporate, start-up, and creative environments. I had some incredible experiences in this career, but also a lot of pressures and stressors - many of which were self-imposed. My mind and body often buckled under the pressures, and I saw my fellow high-achieving friends and family go through much of the same. I saw the beauty of the work we did in the world, but the way we often did it didn’t feel sustainable.

My time outside of work grew increasingly focused on balancing and opening myself, mentally, physically, and spiritually. I continued to climb in my career, but my passion on the side increasingly leaned towards healing and spirituality. I dove into yoga, meditation, mindfulness, holistic therapies, and spirituality. My intuitive and spiritual connection deepened greatly. A deep call of my heart and a series of serendipities led me out of my corporate path and into one of healing and teaching. I followed my heart to India, where over the years I studied and interned with Usha Dobhal in Holistic Healing at Buddha Hall Holistic Healing and Teaching Centre (registered with the Indian Board of Alternative Medicine), deepened my meditation practice at Amritapuri Ashram with my spiritual teacher Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (Amma), and completed my Hatha Yoga Teacher Training at Hatha Yoga World with Pankaj Seth and Sharon Ziv. I have also completed my 30-hour Katonah Yoga Training with Abbie Galvin at The Studio in NYC, New Leaf Foundation’s anti-oppression and trauma-informed Reaching In, Reaching Out training, and Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry self-study course, and am currently completing my Master’s in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University.

Through Intuitive Healing and Embodiment Coaching, I help open the space for you to come home to your truest self, a place of ease, clarity and calm. When we're in this space, I believe serendipities and transformations beyond our mind's limits are possible. I’ve been blessed with much of this in my path so far, and I weave this wonder, wisdom and optimism into all I share.

That’s my story – I’d love to hear yours. Whether for a healing session, embodiment coaching, workshop or retreat, I can’t wait to chat more and help support you on your journey... let’s make some magic :)
