Over the past decade, I have embarked on a journey of wellness and self-discovery after spending over 30 years in Human Resources and Training in Corporate America. In 2017, I became a CTA Certified Coach and founded “New Beginnings and Transitions Coaching,” focusing primarily on individuals navigating various life transitions.  This is New Beginnings 2.0.  

​

In 2021, I became a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher through The Yoga Institute of India. I continue to expand my health, wellness, and healing toolkit by completing several other courses at The Institute and at the Yog Psychology Foundation (under the direction of Dr. Atul Pedneker), including Emotional Energy Balancing, Swadhyaya/Self-Study, and Integrated Chakra Psychology.

​

I am a Reiki Level 2 practitioner, having earned my certification at ZenLife Center for Healing in Queen Creek, Arizona. I currently practice and share Reiki with organizations such as Hope House Ministries, Strength for Life, and formerly, The Community Growth Center, in New York. Reiki Attunement sessions are particularly meaningful to me, as they involve being in a sacred circle of beautiful people sharing love and light with the world.

​

A major focus for 2024 is obtaining a 300-hour Qigong Certification through the Qigong & Daoist Training Center in California, under the guidance of Director Shifu Michael Rinaldini (Lichangdao). I am offering Yoga/Qigong Fusion classes on Long Island and in Arizona.

​​

In September, I will attend Labyrinth Facilitator Training in Chartres, France, with the Veriditas Organization. I am booking  Labyrinth Walks later this year and into next as part of my certification process. Stay tuned for updates.

​

I have incorporated Meditation, Wellness Education, Freestyle Dance, Music, and Spiritual Exploration (with a focus on The 12 Steps) into my offerings, along with Book Study and Theme Groups.

​

My latest endeavor is Coaching for Optimal Health and Wellbeing with Optavia, and I am a newly certified National Blood Clot Alliance Thrombassador.
