Personally, through the doorways of grief, family addictions, struggles with anxiety and body image, marriage, divorce, and caregiving, I’ve learned some hard won lessons about navigating challenge and reshaping my experience of it.

Professionally, I’ve been leading transformative experiences across various scales and industries, from collaborating with renowned artists like David Byrne and Karen O for touring performances to teaching at The Class, a practice that combines fitness and mindfulness.

Tattoo Artist

I grew up in Malibu, California, with loving parents who encouraged self-expression and the arts. Though we weren’t wealthy, I never lacked anything. From a young age, I was passionate about art, skateboarding, and surfing.In my teens, I was on track to be a professional skateboarder, but after a couple of serious injuries, I turned to substances. My addiction to alcohol and drugs took over my life, and I romanticized a short, tragic existence. Alcoholism led me to insanity, and I abandoned the values I was raised with.During my first prison sentence, I became interested in meditation and Eastern philosophy. I spent four years reading about Buddhism and meditating multiple times a day. When I got sober, I hoped meditation and Eastern teachings would set me free, but it was the 12 Steps and Alcoholics Anonymous that truly helped me break free from addiction.Today, meditation remains a key tool in my journey, and without it, I would have struggled to find emotional sobriety.
