About Me
I am an integrative nurse and educator with over 30 years of experience in nursing, public education and holistic health. My work is grounded in clinical practice and shaped by a deep respect for the body’s capacity to regulate, adapt and heal when supported by the right conditions.
My professional background includes decades in traditional healthcare and public school nursing, including more than 20 years in district-level school nursing leadership, alongside advanced training in integrative nursing, yoga, meditation and Ayurvedic health. This broad foundation has allowed me to work comfortably at the intersection of physiology and lived experience, bridging evidence-based understanding with practices that honor rhythm, context and the whole person.
Over time, I’ve come to see that healing is rarely about force or fixing. More often, it is about creating environments, both internal and external, that support steadiness, regulation and resilience. This perspective informs how I teach, speak and guide, whether I’m working with individuals, educators, healthcare professionals, professional audiences or community groups.
I am a Registered Nurse, a board-certified holistic nurse, an Ayurvedic coach and a 500-hour registered yoga teacher. I regularly teach and present on topics related to nervous system health, Ayurvedic rhythms, integrative health and whole-person care. In 2026, I presented at the American Holistic Nurses Association Annual Conference, bringing together themes of rhythm, regulation and holistic nursing practice and am a scheduled presenter of Ayurveda for Midlife at the Zenathon Festival in September.
I am also the founder of Sanctuary Yoga + Wellness Collective, a holistic space shaped by a community of like-minded teachers, providers and practitioners. Sanctuary was created as a place for practice, education and connection guided by shared values of presence, rhythm and whole-person well-being.
At the heart of my work is a simple belief: the body knows how to move toward health when we stop working against it. This belief continues to guide my work... quietly, consistently and in relationship with the people and communities I serve.
