Dharma & Meditation Mentoring
One-on-One Support for Real Change in a World in Crisis
We live in a time of profound upheaval—climate catastrophes, polarization, inherited patterns of domination. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed. And yet, the work of collective healing begins within each of us. By turning toward our own hearts and minds, we begin to shift the very patterns that shape our world.
This is where one-on-one work matters.
Apps, books, or group teachings can open the door, but lasting transformation and healing requires personal guidance. Together, we can navigate the difficulties of daily life—whether you’re leading a team, nurturing a family, or simply seeking steadiness and clarity in uncertain times.
My Approach
Healing is both solitary and relational. There are parts of the journey that only you can walk—meeting your own body, mind, and heart with courage. Yet modern science confirms what contemplatives have long taught: our brains and nervous systems need mirroring in order to re-wire. We heal most deeply in connection.
My coaching draws from both wisdom traditions and modern science, affirming that we are wired for interconnection. With deep training in Trauma-Informed Insight and Mindfulness Meditation and the integration of somatic experiencing, I guide individuals to break free from stress, heal inherited patterns, and live with greater resilience, clarity, and compassion.
This work is not only about personal relief—it’s about discovering universal heart states and interdependence. When you free yourself from cycles of stress and trauma, you also support the collective in rising with wisdom.
