About the Host
I’m a multidisciplinary wellness entrepreneur, educator, healer and corporate consultant with over a decade of experience at the intersection of nutrition, psychology, somatics, and spiritual science. My work bridges mental wellness and conscious leadership, offering evidence-based and experiential solutions for individuals and organizations seeking deeper job satisfaction, well-being, purpose, and performance. My expertise in somatic therapy, mindfulness, and breathwork allows me to facilitate deeper embodiment and stress regulation experiences (both in-person and virtually). Trained in Somatic Embodiment Coaching, Yoga, Emotional Freedom Technique, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and Polyvagal-Informed Breathwork, Reiki + Cacao Ceremonies, I integrate these tools to help participants cultivate nervous system balance, emotional intelligence, and workplace cohesion. I offer bespoke wellness solutions for organizations, retreats, and conscious brands, including: Corporate Wellness Consulting: Custom-designed well-being programs and metrics frameworks integrating nutrition, psychology, and mindfulness. Workshops & Keynotes: Topics include Mental Health Nutrition, Cultivating Emotional Intelligence, Somatic and Spiritual Intelligence, Breathwork, Navigating the Unknown with Rizz, and Embodied Leadership. Ceremonial & Somatic Experiences: Cacao ceremonies, breathwork, and mindfulness retreats for teams or leadership groups seeking connection and creativity. Program Development: Strategic design of evidence-based, scalable wellness interventions for startups, wellness brands, and education platforms. My approach fuses science and spirit, combining the rigor of psychological research and nutritional science with the wisdom of ancient traditions. My facilitation style is evidence-informed yet deeply human, inviting participants to not only understand well-being intellectually but to experience it somatically and sustainably.
