Welcome to the Mindful Life
As a holistic consultant, I assist people to find greater freedom, love, joy, peace and ease in their lives. By turning awareness inward, we can come to understand the conditions influencing the perceptual processes that shape our reality. Together we examine the conditioning from a holistic view and heal by learning to reshape consciousness and the way we experience reality from the inside out. In realizing our true nature, nimbleness and grace becomes characteristic of how we go about experiencing our lives.
On Healing
What does successful healing through collaboration look like, and how is it realized?
In my experience, this process begins by establishing a healthy “heart-mind” which entails defining one’s inherent, life-supporting values. The first tier is connecting to one’s physical health; discerning basic needs for shelter, food, water, air, space, and emotional resonance. Then, becoming aware of the sources of these foundational needs and how to receive them from right relationship with the life-sustaining land. This process is paramount. It involves rebuilding trust in oneself and in the land’s capacity to provide.
Practically, I’ve adopted several ways to reconnect to these core, fundamental values: meditation, metta (or, cultivating loving attention), healthy diet, and engagement with the land—whether by participating in or patronizing local farmers’ markets, researching healthy foods for the human body and how that relates to healthy soil, or creating a home-or-community garden.. These rituals animate the circularity, cyclicality and reciprocal nature of one’s relationship to land and personal healing.
The work then progresses to the relational level—the relationships with other human, and more-than-human beings. The goal is to move beyond the commodification of these relationships and foster a deeper intimacy rooted in loving, reciprocal engagement and attention. Broadly, we aim to cultivate an appreciation for the joy and expansion offered in relationship to each other and all beings, alongside a capacity to be with the pain of recognizing our wrongdoings and allow them to inform our heart-minds and thereby grow in wisdom and belonging.
Finally, I believe the process should orient us toward the larger “Metacrisis”—the major existential risks confronting humanity. The ultimate objective is to establish an embodied wisdom gained through practice; one that invites faith, joy, love, and compassion not despite, but in recognition of the formidable challenges inherent in the current global situation.
Healing, then, is demonstrated by an ability to skillfully navigate and hold these complex challenges and move forward with integrity—integrity toward one’s body, heart-mind, the land, and relationships with others, human and more-than-human. A clear articulation of the experiences that fostered one’s journey toward inner and outer balance. And a strong commitment to alleviating the Metacrisis and finding joy in that process, sustained by faith and regular experiences of gratitude, awe, and humility. To me, this is the crux of the healer’s path.
About Me
I bring presence, intuition, practicality, creativity, and process-oriented logic to help transform ideas into reality while fostering sustainable relationships between implementation, people and the natural world. My approach is systematic and holistic, rooted in a belief that the health of individuals and organizations is deeply linked with all forms of life, and that our thoughts, words and actions impact ecological, social, cultural, and institutional systems.
My background spans the subjective and objective to be able to offer attentive and compassionate facilitation of personal development while also providing perspective, insight, and a scientific approach to discovering mutually enriching collective purpose. With a formal education in the health sciences specializing in neuroscience, a degree in data analytics, and professional experience in collaborative app development, I synthesize from an interdisciplinary knowledge base to contribute an integral perspective on individual and collaborative dynamics in partnerships and teams, while providing technical precision and possibilities. With a massage therapy certificate, a 20+ year exploration of yoga practice and philosophy, and over a decade of daily meditation practice that supports me in showing up as an engaged and loving participant in life, I can offer emotional attunement to thoughtfully nurture individuals and their ideas towards their most balanced and creative expression.
I hope that through collaboration, we can contribute value to one another in unexpected ways.
