I am a certified Dancemeditation teacher under Dunya Diane McPherson, having completed her extensive four year teacher training, and teach Dancemeditation to groups and individuals.  This is a practice that teaches people how to listen to their bodies as deeply as possible.  I have had my own meditation practice for many years, and breath and bodywork are often incorporated into my herbal consultations and teaching.  www.dancemeditation.org

Some of my other hats include volunteering as the director of the Children’s Magical Garden on the Lower East Side.  It is a garden designed especially for children, creating a safer, stronger community while introducing city kids to the wonders of nature.  We grow our own food, teach organic gardening and composting, and have a medicinal herb garden.  www.kidsmagicgarden.net

I rescue animals, and my husband Paul and I have two loving rescued dogs who don’t mind drinking nettle tea.  http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/NY597.html

I am also a writer and theater director who trained at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.
