My speaking engagements offer engaging, informative presentations that inspire actionable change.
Guided by an anti-racist, trauma-informed approach, I lead organizations and groups toward creating spaces where love, justice, and collective liberation can thrive.

Coaching sessions are one-on-one meetings where we collaborate to help you build a life that aligns with your core values and fosters greater personal and collective well-being.
Throughout our coaching partnership, I draw upon holistic healing techniques, including mindfulness, present moment awareness, and compassionate communication practices. These elements create a supportive framework for exploratory dialogue that encourages self-reflection and personal growth.
I have been coaching individuals since completing my coaching training in 2009. Before we enter into a coaching relationship, I encourage you to book a complimentary session with me so that you can get a feel for how I work.

Holistic healing sessions, offered in-person or remotely, are suitable for various needs, including anxiety relief, addressing racial and systemic injustice, and end-of-life care. They may involve any of the healing techniques for which I am certified, including mindfulness practices, meditation, guided visualization, energy healing, gentle movement, and/or trauma healing.
During a session, I will invite you to relax with closed or softly focused eyes, guided by my voice or soothing music. In-person sessions may involve light touch or hands held slightly above the body.
Immediate stress relief and deep relaxation are common, with many people reporting cumulative benefits over time.

I helped establish and organize events at the interfaith spiritual sanctuary at the protest site, alongside others who shared this vision until it was dismantled by police on December 11, 2011.
Since then, I’ve focused on holistic healing, compassionate communication, social justice, and bringing the transformative power of love and meditation to hospice care, providing support, solace, and compassion to individuals and their families during
