I run the business side of things so that our courses, public events, in-person retreats, group programs, and membership runs smoothly.
My background includes different career paths centered around being in service to others. I currently support Luis and HLN from the West Coast and look forward to expanding this work even more in 2025.

As HLN’s Community Manager, I facilitate conversations on the community platform and via Zoom events, answer questions members may have, and maintain the trust of our spaces. I got into facilitation and community management because I love asking people questions that help them reach that “a-ha!” moment.
Additionally, I am a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Practitioner, truth teller, and story teller. I provide group facilitation, workshops, and one-on-one coaching about a variety of DEI topics, cultivating spaces where individuals and groups can fearlessly confront the most uncomfortable elements of DEI.
Prior to starting my own DEI practice, Real Talk & Brave Spaces, I was a DEI Learning & Development Manager in two Fortune 500 companies as well as a market researcher.
I earned my B.S. in Business Administration along with a minor in Spanish from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I later earned my MBA at UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School with a concentration in Marketing and Strategy.

I am a sound healer, musician, and audio engineer. I first learned the drums at the age of 9 and went on to complete a Bachelor's degree in Music Industry at SUNY Oneonta with minors in Music Theory, Audio Production, and Environmental Science.
After touring the country with my band directly after college, I spent several years working for environmental non-profits, eventually transitioning to working in management for a number of health food co-ops. Across my travels, music, as well as an interest in healing through a connection to nature, have always been a mainstay for me.
Since meeting Luis in 2017, both as a dear friend and fellow musician, I have followed his journey in the somatic therapy field and I am now honored to be a part of the HLN team.

I’m a singer and an Audio/Visual Artist. My work focuses on the intersection of the emotional and the abstract, and is drawn towards the adventuresome and the mysterious.
I studied film-making at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, graduating with an award for consistent excellent in film making. Since then, I have created three full-length albums of music, two eps, and several bodies of experimental motion visual works.
Along with my own audio-visual work, I also design videos, music and art for others.
I have known and cherished an extremely close friendship and creative collaboration with Luis since the development of his Somatic practice, a technique that I myself have found to be powerfully healing.
It’s with great pleasure that I lend my design skills to Holistic Life Navigation.

I work as a project and community experience manager, writer, and editor.
Helping to facilitate the development of HLN’s vision has been an ongoing pleasure and source of inspiration to me personally. I work with the helpers, the teachers, the space holders, the healers. And I know that HLN is comprised of, for, and by people with a deep desire to embody these roles in the world.
For me, it’s is an ongoing honour to step into and support the creation of what is often only yet imagined. Everything I do is inspired and fuelled by my ongoing travels. I am currently living and working from Istanbul, Turkey.

Assisting conscious creators with packaging & serving their teachings.
Being fascinated by cognitive sciences and somatic healing, how do we learn, and make decisions. I explore the ways in which people interact & bond. This has led my creation focus on course, community and web experiences.Being a part of the growth and each new iteration of Holistic Life Navigation, as well as working alongside with Luis has been a gift.
