a little about me
For as long as I can remember, I've been drawn to storytelling, creativity, and what it means to be human.
I've spent over twenty years as a professional actor, where I learned to inhabit character through presence, imagination, and emotional truth.
That same curiosity eventually led me to the study of embodiment and somatic practice—not as a departure from acting, but as another way of exploring the relationship between body, emotion, and expression.
Today my work lives at the intersection of creativity and embodiment.
Whether I'm performing, writing, or facilitating embodied practices, I'm interested in what happens when we slow down, listen deeply, and allow the body to become part of the creative conversation.

Why Embodiment?

Listening
Your body is a source of deep intelligence. When you learn to listen, your body becomes your compass, your guide and your most trusted teacher.

Expression
Your body is not separate from your creativity—your body is the creation and the instrument. To live in relationship with your body is to become the artist and co-creator of your own life.

Emotional Awareness
Your emotions and sensations aren’t problems—they’re messengers. Your body is the container that lets you feel them fully, without fixing or becoming them.

Freedom
Freedom isn't the absence of difficulty. Sometimes it's the small space between what happens and how we choose to respond.
