What I’m About
The same skills that transform a performance can shape a conversation, relationship, and a family.
I know this because I’ve lived it.
My work begins where sound meets self—at the intersection of movement, awareness, and the power of truly listening.
A Life in Artistry
My journey has taken me from earning degrees at the University of Michigan and the Cleveland Institute of Music to performing with orchestras and ensembles across the country. Today, I continue to bring my artistry to Boston stages as cellist of the acclaimed Radius Ensemble. These decades of performance — filled with discipline, creativity, and collaboration — form the foundation of the work I now do, helping others discover their own capacity for presence, resilience, and self-expression.
Beyond the Stage
As a teacher and mentor, I have spent decades guiding students of all ages — integrating the principles of the Alexander Technique, the grounding practices of yoga, and a deep understanding of how bodies learn and adapt. My approach goes beyond technical mastery. It’s about cultivating the awareness that allows movement, sound, and thought to work together — unlocking ease, creativity, and confidence.
Parenting as Practice
Motherhood brought these lessons even closer to home. As a parent of twins, I experience the same questions, frustrations, and moments of joy that shape every parent’s journey. Those experiences deepened my capacity for empathy, curiosity, and presence — qualities that now inform my coaching work. I know firsthand that the same skills that transform a performance can transform a conversation, a relationship, and a family.
Practice in Harmony
Today, through Practice in Harmony, I work with clients who want to connect more deeply with themselves and with the world around them — performers seeking flow, athletes striving for peak potential, parents navigating complex seasons, and anyone ready to live with greater awareness and intention.
