About Me

I live in New York City, where a main focus of my work is teaching developmental movement. I work with babies of all ages, especially infants, toddlers, and elders.

I also explore and teach anatomy and physiology from a somatic perspective. I enjoy diving into science-y rabbit holes around such topics as the origins of life, evolution, embryology, complex systems, and cell biology.
