Welcome. As a medical provider, author, educator, and movement and meditation teacher, I share an integrative, holistic, and natural approach—everything from nutrition and herbal medicine to mindfulness, yoga, and somatic movement. My newest book, Wisdom of the Earth, Wisdom of the Body, explores this rich mix of traditions.
I draw insights from nearly two decades in holistic health and somatic studies, including my clinical practice of Chinese Medicine—I have a postgraduate doctorate with professional licensure in acupuncture and herbal medicine, which was a five-year full-time program comprising Western medical sciences, diagnostic skills, clinical training and an internship at Liaoning University Hospital in Shenyang, China. I also have thousands of hours of training and professional certifications in complementary disciplines, including Ayurveda, holistic nutrition, Western herbal medicine, and functional medicine.
At the heart of my work is a deep reverence for the natural world—fostering a connection to our beautiful Earth and helping people heal are big motivating forces behind my work. In myriad ways, we live in troubled times. Modern people often feel disconnected from themselves, one another, and the natural world. Working with and healing our disconnection helps us not only feel better but also act more compassionately on behalf of our larger world.
We need an integrative paradigm that includes the healing power of Earth-based medicine and mindful movement. One that helps us feel and understand our body-mind as interconnected with larger natural rhythms, fostering a deep sense of presence and embodiment.
As a long-time teacher and student of yoga and therapeutic movement, I bring over seventeen years and many thousands of hours of dedicated personal practice and teaching to my classes and offerings.
The yoga and movement classes I offer are therapeutic, focus on students’ individual needs, and are informed by in-depth, long-term study of anatomy, bodywork, Buddhism, Daoism (also known as Taoism), Chinese Medicine, and Ayurveda. Classes integrate physical yoga postures with spiritual, philosophical, energetic, and anatomical teachings, often focusing on contemplative awareness and the spiritual aspects of practice.
Along with dynamic forms that teach alignment and encourage strength and stability, I also teach a practice I call “Mindful Yin Yoga” and a somatic movement practice I call “Yin Somatics,” designed to soothe the nervous system, unwind strain and fatigue, build vitality, and support abiding presence.
Beyond my foundational yoga and somatic movement training, I’ve studied in depth with dozens of insightful, well-known teachers. I am also certified to teach yoga, mindfulness and somatic movement through several advanced multi-year certification programs. I am a registered ERYT500 yoga teacher and continuing education provider with Yoga Alliance.
Whether you’re looking for solutions to your health concerns or you’re a yoga teacher or health practitioner looking for movement, mindfulness, and medicine inspiration and training, I’ve got you covered.
I am very grateful to the many places all over the world where I’ve offered my work over the years, including being faculty at Pacific Rim College of Integrative Medicine, the many yoga studios and retreat centers that have hosted me, volunteering with the Acupuncture Relief Project in Nepal, and contributing to several yoga therapy programs.
These days, I live and work in beautiful BC, Canada, on the sacred and traditional lands of the Ktunaxa and Sinixt peoples.
I enjoy seeing patients in my private medical practice, offering online classes and courses, teacher training, and in-person retreats. I also spend much of my time writing.
