I'm a consistently inconsistent and confused human being, who loves being outside rather than in, changes from pajamas to sweatpants and back to pajamas on a regular basis, and has an insatiable curiosity for whatever has caught my attention at the moment. I am a wanderer and wonderer, passionate about this beautiful planet we live on and the beings that inhabit it. I’m horrible at small talk but could chat for hours about the Important Things in life. I find joy in movement, creating and learning. A life-long student, a home-schooling mom of three, a movement meditation and yoga practitioner, I’d rather be open to experience than to profess to know it all.

Factoids about me: B.A. in Physical Anthropology, University of Buffalo. I’ve worked (way too much) in many fields, sometimes at the same time. This includes education, healthcare, hospitality, farming, and agricultural research. I’ve traveled to many amazing places but landed in Japan as an EFL teacher and amateur street dancer the longest. After a bad back injury, I quit dance and went on a pain-relief quest that brought me to many different therapy modalities. Yoga helped the most. In 2007, I became a 200-hour credited yoga teacher from Yogi Vishvektu, founder of Akhanda Yoga, in Rishikesh, India. I had my first child in 2008 in Japan. We discovered that Japan was not the place we’d like to raise our children so 2010 found our little family moving across the world, back to my hometown in upstate New York. We’ve been here every since. In between all these brief highlights, life happened, and that’s really what all my writing is about. If you are interested, welcome, and please carry on….
