Facilitator • Author • Story Teller
"Pade Pade"

With the heart of a yogi and the soul of a storyteller, I love creating community, experiences and art, across many forms, in a compelling, authentic and playful way. Passionate about collaborating and connecting, I believe we should thrive not survive. I love the conscious act of making, reminding people of who and what they are, and empowering them to discover their joy.
