She lives in Lansing, Michigan with her son, Liam, and a pitbull they call Bubba Howard.

My Dharma
Liam’s Mom
Life really began when I met my son, Liam. Pre-Liam-Me was studying medicine (genetics) with a strong interest in psychology and child development.
I always knew I wanted a life of helping others function well physically and mentally (specifically vulnerable populations).
It wasn’t until mom life began to unfold that I realized the path I was on, was no longer meant for who I was becoming. Embracing my role as Liam’s mom, I turned back to practicing yoga and teaching it to him.
Mindful Parenting + Positive Discipline
I’m a mindful parenting coach and a positive discipline educator. This not only gives me the opportunity to coach parents independently but also, hold seminars and workshops for those who seek peaceful and long-lasting resolutions to conflicts and behavior challenges. This includes parents, grandparents, sitters, caregivers, teachers, and anyone who is responsible for the care of youth- specifically youth with special needs.
I not only implement these methods in parenting my child but in working with students.
