Growing up in Hawaii, I was immersed in a wide variety of cultures and experiences and my exploration into spiritual traditions from around the world began at a very young age. I have always been and continue to be an inexhaustibly curious human, driven to understand our differences and our strengths as human beings. 

 

During my mid-twenties, I lost my mother and found myself adrift in the world. I saw myself slipping into unhealthy mindsets and behaviors and I threw myself into the study of yoga, buddhism, and ayurveda as a way to find balance again. These practices were deeply personal and though they influenced my own approach and perspective, I didn't fully integrate these practices into my professional life for many years. 

​

I am an organizational development and change management consultant by trade. I run a firm that helps organizations undergo significant change initiatives through addressing both systems and policies, and through leadership development and behavior change. This led me to pursue degrees and certifications in educational development, conflict transformation in multicultural contexts, coaching, facilitation, and change theory. 

​

Now, two decades into this work, I am finally able to bridge these two aspects of my life, helping individuals lead their own internal change efforts with the tools and techniques I've gathered from my many years of study and travel.
