I hope you are enjoying my site.
I work with individuals and groups, facilitating healing through the modalities of sound, plant medicines, bodywork, health coaching (Root Cause Protocol), yoga, and meditation. Every teaching is provided in deep reverence to the original teachings, while integrating a multidisciplinary philosophy. Eastern philosophical systems, Western scientific methods, and the various shamanic lineages are all trying to teach us something about the nature of existence and consciousness.
the better part of my adult life exploring Eastern philosophical and practical systems of Yoga, Ayurveda, Buddhism, Thai bodywork, Japanese energy work, Amazonian plant medicines, and other traditional healing methods. My formal Western education includes a Doctorate of Jurisprudence from UCLA and Bachelor of Music from NYU. I hold the highest available designation with Yoga Alliance as an E-RYT 500, certifying over 500 hours of training and 2,000+ hours of teaching. I co-created the 200-hour and 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training Programs at Urban Yoga in Downtown Phoenix and co-directed the program from 2014-2017. I hold certifications in Thai Massage, Thai Foot Massage, Tok Sen, plus hundreds of non-certifiable hours of study with my teacher, Ajarn Pichest Boonthumme, all obtained in Thailand. I studied Western massage in the Therapeutic Massage Program at Phoenix College. I studied the plant medicines Ayahuasca and Huachuma (San Pedro), as well as other plant medicines, in the Peruvian Amazon and Sacred Valley of Peru. I’m certified by Don Conreaux and Angelo Surinder in Gongmaster training (Portugal).
I have been playing various instruments since my youth and continue to be inspired to try new ones. I attended NYU on a music scholarship focusing on guitar, with a secondary focus on electronic music, both analog and digital. Since 2012, I have been studying gong, singing bowls, flutes, percussion, and the human voice in the context of sound meditation and ceremonial contexts. I regularly conducts Sound Practitioner Trainings in the Phoenix area as well as an online school. Much of my music can be downloaded from Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music and other major music platforms.
