I was raised in the Hudson Valley area of New York with a Roman Catholic upbringing.

Always seeking deeper meaning and purpose, I chose to leave New York at 19 and headed out West where my journey back to my True Self began.

With stints in San Francisco, Maui, London, Arizona, Austin, and now, Nashville, my earliest trainings in Eastern spirituality were in Sedona, AZ where I would study under energy and Tai Chi Masters of the Korean lineage. I was 21 years old. The year was 2000. In 2007, I would find my way to Kundalini Yoga teacher training and a variety of mindset mentors and guides.

When my father transitioned out of this earth plane, I decided to break from my current path and follow my passion for music. I wrote and recorded several albums touring most months of the year. Eventually, the ways of the music industry and culture would become too much for me to endure, and I returned back to my spiritual roots and birthed Music City Mindfulness.

My vision was to create a safe space for a conscious, creative community to come together to grow, expand and step into our Soul missions.

My heart lives in full devotion to Truth, with offerings ranging from transformational mentorship to Yoga, mantra, meditation, conscious reprogramming and soul-songwriting.
