Summary

Organization, rejuvenation, and service are vital to my development, as a somatic facilitator, a retail lead, and one who guides others into leadership. I work with nutrition, nature, holistic medicine, fitness, play, and movement; I also empower others to strive for a solid and clear purpose. Guided by excellence and collaboration, this builds new, exciting perspectives, endeavors, and values.
