I am thrilled to be back in my hometown St.Louis after living in New York City for 24 years! I am passionate about dance, music, finance, design, wellness, fun, nature and human connection.  I loved living and working in NYC and soaked up all of the amazing culture and experiences it had to offer.  COVID really turned my world upside down. I helped start a successful medical spa in Union Square back in 2017 and everything was great until I was required to wear a mask all day.  I am an extremely sensitive person and the mask was causing intolerable symptoms and I had no choice but to quit my job. My father generously hired me to work for him as a financial analyst, my mom bought me a dog which she promised if I ever moved back home, and in September of 2020, I started the next chapter of my life in St.Louis. 

I did have some lovely friends from high school but they were busy with their families and careers and didn’t have much time for me so I had to find new friends and communities.  I joined the board of Dance St.Louis and started going to Meetup events.  I soon became a co-host of Dance St.Charles and got the opportunity to teach Latin partner dancing and host events throughout the St.Louis area. I was a musical theater major at the University of Michigan and danced and performed professionally but nothing gives me more pleasure than teaching. 

Back in NYC, my friend Amy Silverman introduced me to a community called the Connection Movement.  The mission of the Connection Movement is to deepen relationships, build community, and increase emotional intelligence through facilitated exercises and experiences. We had our first St.Louis event at Utopia Studios back in June of 2022 and I am currently hosting monthly facilitated relating games with my friend Brooking Gateway.

What has really shifted my life was my first Reiki attunement with Emily Wehrman. It was through this training that I discovered my gift as a healer.  I have had the honor of being part of the healing process for hundreds of clients. I truly believe it is my purpose to help heal, support, and energize my friends and communities.
