ABOUT ME

I’m a Multidisciplinary Somatic Practitioner dedicated to gently guiding people back to the innate wisdom and capacity of their bodies — toward greater freedom, joy, and imagination.

My work integrates training in The Resilience Toolkit, Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, and Saphire® Imagery under Dr. Catherine Shainberg at the School of Images. I’m also certified by the AADP as a Holistic Health Coach. Each session is shaped by this blend of modalities — drawing from somatic education, imagery, and nervous system education to support healing that feels embodied, grounded, and empowering.

BACKGROUND 

Before beginning this work, I spent years as a poet, multigenre performer, and nonprofit professional in the social justice sector. Those experiences continue to influence how I meet each person — with creativity, curiosity, and deep respect for their lived story. As a native New Yorker and child of immigrants from the Middle East and India, I carry the cross-cultural wisdom of mysticism, ritual, and ancestral tradition into my practice. I deeply honor the courage it takes to step onto a healing path — to interrupt cycles of transgenerational trauma and imagine a life rooted in choice, connection, and internal freedom.

Like many of my clients, I came to somatic work through burnout and exhaustion. After years of talk therapy, I found myself caught in loops of over-analysis. Discovering the body-based approach of somatics opened a new doorway — one where healing became less about cognitive reasoning and more about experiencing. Today, I bring this approach to every session, guiding others toward attunement, presence, and embodied choice.
