I have always had a deep passion to share knowledge with the world. For me, having a deeper understanding of how and why we live has helped me live more easefully, joyfully and authentically. This is at the heart of all my teachings.
From mindfulness to social-emotional learning, I hope to shed more light on how we can more compassionately engage with ourselves and each other.
I am available for: mindfulness trainings (meditation and somatic experiencing); social-emotional learning workshops; curriculum and program development; and social justice education. Please contact me for any inquiries or opportunities — virtual or in-person.
Mindfulness has saved and changed my life.
I was introduced to mindfulness at a time of when I needed it the most. Learning how to be present and navigate challenging emotions — grief, anger, shame — helped ground me, save me. Since then, it has helped me see how awesome and beautiful we all are — even if the systems that we live in tell us otherwise. My mission is for folks to know how innately special they are, and in turn, see how beautiful everyone else is. So we can all perhaps one day, live in freedom and peace.

I <3 developing learning programs + experiences
As an educational program developer, I love concepting and creating learning programs. I don’t just focus on what the desired outcome is, but look to create an experience and transformative space for the participants. Through collaboration and innovation, I have built and facilitated curriculum programs on:
Social justice trainings
SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) curriculum for high school teachers
Navigating challenging conversations across lines of difference
I offer trainings and workshops as an individual facilitator and through my non-profit GaneshSpace.
