About Me
Click this image to read an article I wrote about how the Human Givens approach gave me my life back after suffering through almost 5 years of PTSD!
I have a diverse professional background with careers in architecture, international community development, international development finance consulting, construction management and building energy auditing over the past 10 years. This diverse background provides me with a deep understanding of a variety of types of organizations and people and their independent and co-functioning.
While people have always been the focus of my interests, my professional trajectory took a sharp turn in 2011 when I experienced a severe personal trauma and suffered through full blown PTSD for several years. My journey through the healing process allowed me to develop a deep and personal relationship with a variety of tools that helped me regain my center. Among these healing tools were yoga, meditation, reiki, physical fitness and nutrition, the mind-body connection, and most profoundly – psychoeducation, understanding my own brain.
The act of learning about brain functioning to understand my experiences with PTSD was empowering to me on several levels. It not only helped me understand what I was feeling physically in my body, emotionally and mentally, but it gave me the tools to manipulate those same brain mechanisms to achieve desired results in my professional and personal lives. I am extremely passionate about sharing the tools that helped me heal and thrive with as many people as possible.
