ABOUT

As a speaker and workshop facilitator, I have over ten years of experience teaching resilience skills both individually and in groups. Working in a parallel career in politics and activism, I've brought my methods to high stress environments in nonprofits and national campaigns.

I started my resilience journey as a certified yoga teacher through the Australian School of Yoga and Meditation. I’m additionally certified through Warriors at Ease to teach those impacted by trauma, including soldiers and veterans. Influenced by the somatic and mindfulness techniques pioneered by clinicians such as Peter Levine, Bessel van der Kolk and Dan Siegel as well as the groundbreaking work of Dr. Stephen Porges, my work emphasizes simple, science-based exercises to promote self-regulation and emotional mastery.
