About Me

Skirt Week 2011, Day 2

24.  Free spirit.  Vegetarian.  Yogini.  Dancer.  Sex educator.  Scientist.

Girlfriend.  Lover.  Best friend. Daughter.  Sister.  Co-worker.

I am on my path.  Where it leads, I can only guess.  My goal is to trust the process and work through my pain without judging it.  I’ll update this as my path develops but for now, I invite you to travel along with me as all is revealed in due time.  For more on my journey thus far, please seem my guest post here.

In the meantime, here are some of the things I love:

Food (shopping/cooking/eating). Chocolate. Wine. Microbrews. Zumba. Reggaeton. Tofu. Bourbon. Yoga. Travelling. BOG. Romcoms. Medical dramas. Broadway shows (and Glee). Kripalu. Women’s health. Clean foods. Hiking. Farming.

Rex Goliath wine.

I currently do health psychology research in MA where I’ve been living (in various places) for the past 5 years.  In my spare time I indulge in that list of things I love, whether it is taking part or simply learning about them. I also am interning with the Massachusetts Public Health Association on their, wait for it, nutrition campaign, Act FRESH.

I believe in the power of yoga + whole, plant foods to heal the world (if not its problems).  I’m a bit of a hippie like that.  Even though I work in Western medicine, I believe that it has its time and place and that the system is vastly broken.  I hope to help change that along with a number of other visionaries (see my Blogroll page, specifically the sections on Women’s Health and Inspiration).

I also own a successful Passion Parties business, work that has not only bolstered me through tough economic times but fulfills me at my soul level.  The power of women is unimaginable and when we harness that through education and empowerment, it is truly unstoppable.  At every event I am reminded why this type of work is needed.  I also struggle to defy and defend against the stereotypes which plague this business.  It is not always easy.  Nevertheless, having experienced the profound impact it has on resurrecting individuals and relationships, I am committed to it and know that it was brought into my life to guide me on my path to being an advocate for female reproductive issues.

I welcome you to join me on my path, share your stories, and hopefully learn something special along the way.

Yoga, beauty, life,
