I am a teacher and lover of the healing arts. My modalities are Yoga, Ayurveda/Holistic Wellness, and Astrology. In addition, I have an MFA in Creative Nonfiction; I write narrative essays and articles about the symbolism and wisdom of Astrology. You can read my essays on Yoga International and Elephant Journal. 
A defining purpose of Yoga is the integration of opposites, such as effort and ease, strength and softness; similarly, Ayurveda, a system for holistic health from India, uses the integration of opposing elements (e.g., air, fire, and water) to create balance in the body and mind. Astrology is a tool that can be used to gain awareness and insight into personality, strenghs and weaknesses, life experiences, etc., so that we can detect blind spots or habits that get in the way of our growth; the wisdom of Astrology can align you with your greater purpose and highest form of expression. I teach and share these practices/arts because they have enabled me to make important and deep changes in my own life.
