I was introduced to yoga, meditation, and journaling at 12 while attending a boarding school in Oregon that used them as therapeutic tools. Those practices have supported me through grief, job loss, living far from family, and the everyday challenges of life and entrepreneurship.
That foundation led me to become a licensed massage therapist, certified yoga teacher, and Sound Bath facilitator because I’ve always wanted to help people feel cared for, connected, and supported.
After losing my job in 2020, I combined my background in luxury spas and hospitality to create wellness experiences rooted in rest, mindfulness, and community. Since 2023, I’ve partnered with organizations like Friends of Holstein Park, Navy Pier, Lincoln Park Conservancy, Loyola University, the National Federation of the Blind, Chicago Animal Care & Control, The Rosenthal Family Foundation, NAMI, CAWC, Salt & Light Coalition, and more to offer free, donation-based, and discounted community sound bath meditations.
When I’m not hosting sound baths or practicing meditation, I’m in my Bucktown studio hand-crafting small batch candles through my brand Astra & Arrow, personalizing candles for other businesses, designing custom wedding candles, and hosting private candle-making events.
