iACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS:
I offer Organic Intelligence sessions online to people worldwide, and in person (outdoors) in Oakland, California. Sessions are 50-60 minutes in length, and are meant to feel supportive, kind, and connected. We assess growth and benefit of our work together based on how your life is going. Are things generally feeling better, brighter, and more easeful? Are you spontaneously making more balanced and empowered choices, and seeing those effect positive change in your life? If we start to see this over the course of our work together, we know it's a good fit and we are on the right track.
I am also a homebirth midwife, so it's important that folks who work with me are comfortable with occasionally rescheduling, sometimes the day before/day of. I have specialized knowledge in pregnancy, postpartum, fertility, conception, perinatal loss, nutrition, newborns, and early parenting.

I am blessed with 20 years of experience as a mindfulness practitioner, primarily in the Theravada Buddhist lineage of Vipassana (main teachers Jack Kornfield, Joseph Goldstein, and Sharon Salzberg) and the Zen of master teacher Thich Nhat Hanh. I have extensive experience sitting long meditation retreats and am familiar with the beautiful, shadowy, and sometimes strange realms that can emerge in stillness.
I have a particular interest in finding the "sweet spot" in spiritual practice, where we are awake and engaged on the micro level: personal growth, as well as the macro level: social engagement in our communities; and the integration of the two: purpose and meaning.
