“Since all things are naked, clear, and free from obscurations, there is nothing to attain or realize. The everyday practice is simply to develop a complete acceptance and openness to all situations and emotions. And to all people – experiencing everything totally without reservations and blockages, so that one never withdraws or centralizes onto oneself.”
– Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
As a holistic astrologer I am interested in helping you understand and address your soul’s inherent challenges, while developing your strengths and gifts. My work combines modalities for the spirit, mind, and body, creating an integrated approach to healing.
I graduated from Naropa University with a BA in Buddhist Psychology and MA in Physical Theater. While at Naropa I encountered the teachings of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, which inspired me to begin my studies in Tibetan Buddhism. I moved to Nepal in 2006, where I lived and traveled for several years, studying with great Lamas and doing solitary retreat. I began teaching mindfulness meditation classes at the request of my teacher, Khachab Rinpoche in 2010. I am a certified yoga and mindfulness teacher.
In 2013 I completed my training in Core Energetics, a somatic therapeutic practice that releases emotional and physical blockages in the body as well as self-limiting defense patterns adopted in childhood.
Alongside this, since 2010 I have apprenticed under Fleet Maull, (PhD, CMT-P) Dharma teacher, author and facilitator of The Event Training.
The Event Training is an experiential breakthrough training designed to help participants understand, express and let go of what is at the core of their suffering. I assist Fleet twice per year in the Event Training. I have also co-facilitated various other retreats and trainings with Fleet around the world including mindfulness and emotional resiliency programs we started together in prisons and youth correctional facilities in North and South America.
Astrology and my Buddhist practice have remained the undercurrents throughout my life. I have been giving astrology readings professionally since 2001.
