Without our health, we have nothing. With my background as a Doctor of Pharmacy and Holistic Wellness Consultant, I work with clients to help them find healthy, natural alternatives to minimize their need for pharmaceuticals and optimize their well-being. In my practice, I focus on the benefits of plants, essential oils, and movement. I whole-heartedly believe movement is medicine. I've had a fitness practice for as long as I can remember, and it will always be an integral part of who I am.

I am consistently in the gym strength training, 3-5 days a week. I really love the practice of yoga. I've been practicing for 15 years and have been a certified yoga instructor for about 10 years. This past year, I discovered pilates as a new found love as well. I also love staying active outdoors - hiking, nature walks, and grounding are all big parts of my life.

I will use the money to support local health and wellness practitioners, gyms, yoga and pilates studios, acupuncturists, massage therapists and wellness centers in the Hudson Valley area. I’ll probably put a portion of it in my savings account, as I am currently pursuing financial freedom in hopes of one day having the time to write my first book. I’d love to share my knowledge of, and passion for, whole body physical and spiritual wellness with the world in writing.
