I'm a certified health and wellness coach interested in the connectedness of mental, environmental and physical health. I ask questions out of curiosity, love historical insight, experiment when it's productive and enjoy identifying patterns, especially behavioral ones.
My coaching sessions integrate a combination of appreciative inquiry, behavioral science, motivational interviewing, practical mindfulness, movement studies and Stoic philosophy.
Many of my clients choose to work with me because I offer both top-down and bottom-up approaches to behavior change. For example, I incorporate mindful movement, based in yoga asana practice and Oxygen Advantage® breath training, as an intervention to regulate hyperarousal and modify the signal interpretation in physiological and affective states, which builds self-efficacy. I'm also currently researching how breathing techniques impact the self-efficacy of adults with chronic pain.
