Full circle moment
This time last year, I was an Assistant Professor of Public Health, Addictions, and Health Equity, working with a master’s program in addiction recovery and conducting research in a neurobehavioral center working towards reducing stigma to substance use disorders.
Fast forward to now, and I recently had the opportunity to be back in the classroom at University of North Florida, sharing holistic practices for health and stress reduction through breathwork. The gratitude I feel for this chapter shift is huge, a reminder that so much can change in a year, yet some passions stay constant.
For those of you who don’t know, I now lead The Collective Om—bridging Western science with Eastern wisdom to bring evidence-based holistic health services to communities and organizations.
If you’re interested in workshops, guest lectures, or educational seminars on stress, wellbeing, and holistic practices, I’d love to connect.
