✨ Wellness isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline.

I’ve had the honor of facilitating healing spaces for educators, students, human service professionals, executives, and faith leaders—people who show up for others every single day.

And what I’ve seen time and time again?
They’re running on empty and they simply need room to breathe.

Whether it’s through a stress management session, aromatherapy, movement, or mindful cooking—these aren’t just “nice” add-ons. They’re essential practices for restoring ourselves from the inside out.

👂🏾So I’m listening:
What kind of wellness support would your team most benefit from?

If you’re building out programming for staff wellness, team retreats, or community engagement—I’d love to collaborate.

Always an honor to hold space for brilliant people who care for others! Was able to share the gift of aromatherapy with a group of community leaders, each of them appreciative of the moment to pause. Not only did each of them walk away with a custom blend of essential oils, they set an intention for their wellness by naming their blend. A little tea and dark chocolate for the road always come in handy too! ☺️Looking forward to sharing more wellness with the community! 🙏🏾mental wellness goes way beyond the therapy room walls!

I’m a proud volunteer with !

The gratitude in the room was tangible last night. The stories, the connection, the support. No doubt we need each other. If you’re a clinician in Maryland looking to deepen your impact around mental health, consider joining as a volunteer clinician (hello free ceus!) or making a donation. Together we were able to serve almost 2000 clients last year who may not otherwise have access to quality mental health care.

Celebrating being a volunteer since starting my practice 8 years ago!

Looking forward to being a part of this panel in honor of mental health awareness month. Through each conversation, we lessen the stigma and get closer to the help each of us needs and deserves! Come through!

It’s always more than just food.
It’s wanting to transition through seasons with ease.
It’s wanting to feel better; physically, mentally and emotionally.
It’s wanting to connect more with your kids or partner.
It’s desiring nee ways to navigate grief and change.
It’s wanting to figure out how to incorporate more veggies in your diet.
This is why I do what I do!
I love the conversations I get to have with people when I facilitate community based mindful cooking demonstrations. How we eat impacts how we feel and people are hungry in many ways! Thank you to for having me at theeee best fall event this city has to offer! We got to play, eat and enjoy the land!
