as a multi-racial 90’s kid brought up in hip-hop culture, i’ve been creating new things from bits and pieces of old things all of my life.

my practice is a collection of things i have found, places i have been, people i have met, and the unique insights that have come from weaving ashtanga yoga, buddhist meditation, african dance and spirituality, martial arts, and osteopathy with massage into a cohesive, relational approach to care.

it all began when i stumbled upon a copy of the bhagavad gita in 2007 — i’ve been a dedicated student of yoga and the healing arts ever since.

i am a licensed massage therapist in the state of rhode island and am certified to practice and teach craniosacral therapy by the biodynamic craniosacral therapy association of north america. i’m a certified yoga instructor in the lineage of t.k.v. krishnamacharya by the american viniyoga institute and have learned from many more teachers and guides along the way.

my practice is shaped not only by formal training, but by an ongoing inquiry into healing as a communal and ecological process.

i am a gardener, a barefoot wanderer, and co-founder of a nonprofit organization dedicated to facilitating green burial and conversations about death, emergent forest.
