Your Mind Matters.
I'm a Champion for Mental Health, help me raise awareness and advocacy of Mental Illness.
I remember watching Mister Rogers as a kid and him tell us that our feelings are both "mentionable and manageable". The simplicity of his message and his open conversation around mental health made me feel safe and seen.
All these years later, as a certified mindfulness and yoga instructor (and a true child at heart), I am passionate about making the mental and emotional health and wellbeing of children both "mentionable and manageable."
Through neuroscience-based mindfulness programming rooted in movement and play, I work to help children (and grown-ups) gain self-awareness and resilience, empowering them to make mindful choices in life.
As a Champion for NAMI New York State, I hope to shine a bright and compassionate light on mental health and encourage more open conversations and advocacy.
Together we can create a caring community and transform our wellness and that of generations to come.
