Her work is based on helping people access their innate capacity for self-healing and discovery. Her approach is warm, personable, and oriented toward a compassionate, non-judgemental awareness of what supports or diminishes well-being. She offers integrative holistic practices and tools for diet and digestion, sleep and rest, emotional balance, relaxation, mindfulness, and a positive mindset.

Her training spans several traditions. In Ayurveda she studied at MMI College of Ayurveda, with Scott Blossom, and in VedaWise's Ayurvedic Integrative Nutrition course. In energy healing she trained as a Reiki Master Teacher and also studied Theta Healing. Her yoga training includes a Sivananda 200-hour teacher training, prenatal yoga, yoga therapy for cancer and chronic illness, and yoga philosophy. Her meditation practice draws on mindfulness, guided imagery, loving kindness, open awareness, mantra, Vipassana, and Tibetan approaches.

Creativity, collaboration, meaningful client relationships, and community are essential to her work. She has co-created several online holistic programs: Infinite Beauty, Ayurvedic Spring Cleanse and Fall Seasonal Reset, a 21-Day Healing Experience, and the Emotional Harmony series. She also shares guided meditations on Insight Timer.
