Offerings
My work lives at the intersection of organizational development and embodied awareness. I bring embodied practices such as yoga, meditation, creative writing, and facilitated dining experiences in conversation with performance data, team dynamics, and goal setting. My workshops are relational and designed to meet individuals where they are, whether you’re in crisis, in transition, or simply looking to work differently. I partner with mission-driven non-profits, values-driven restaurants, and higher education institutions looking to build cultures of care, connection, and growth where people can work sustainably and live full lives.
Workshop Design & Facilitation
Interactive workshops that teach embodied practices and leverage them for skill-building.​
​
I use yoga, meditation, and creative writing to help individuals connect to their bodies. Together, we leverage these practices to develop leadership skills such as embodied leadership, cross-team collaboration, giving and receiving feedback, goal setting and tracking, team building, and integrating wellness into daily work rhythms.
Facilitated Dining Experiences
Curated shared meals designed to cultivate relationship building and collective learning.​
​
Inspired by my supper club’s dining model, these curated gatherings leverage communal dining as a medium for relationship building and collective learning. I design and facilitate the experience, partnering with chefs or venues as needed, while guiding groups through conversation and connection activities.
Strategic Advisement
People-centered strategies and norms that build tangible cultures of connection, care, and growth.​
​
Through ongoing partnership, I operationalize your values into everyday practices. Together, we develop meeting structures, team accountability practices, and wellness integration strategies that support sustainable ways of working.
My Embodiment Journey
Embodied leadership is not just what I do, it’s how I live my life. I burnt out in my early twenties and had to develop real, sustainable ways to live a purpose-driven life. My MFA in Creative Writing, MS.Ed in Higher Education and Student Affairs, 8+ years of professional experience, and training in embodied practices became the foundation for my approach. I started consulting to offer people pathways to explore the best practices and systems that could serve them in carrying out their work and living a full life.
