Well-being Practitioner


I'm a well-being practitioner and founder of Nearly Mindful®.
My work is rooted in mindfulness and shaped by compassion, curiosity, and a belief that when we see ourselves more clearly, we can make better choices about how we live, work, and relate to each other.


Over the years, I’ve studied and worked with mindfulness, emotional intelligence, positive psychology, resilience, and compassion. I bring those practices together in workshops, conversations, meditations, and resources designed for real life.

I’m less interested in telling people how they should live than in helping them understand themselves, recognize what matters to them, and find their own way forward. let's talk!
