As a director of health and wellness I consult with both corporate and individual clients. Certified with the American College of Sports Medicine, I work at the intersection of technology and wellness, collaborating with experts in strength training, recovery, and meditation. In creating and honing the practice of FORM® for over 20 years, I work with medical professionals to create customized health programs for their patients. My courses and programs have measurable positive impacts on participants' well-being, with research showing improvements in areas like cognitive performance, empathy and equanimity.
I originally founded Studio Ignite to create independent films and media that explore the human condition. My projects have been featured at festivals including Sundance and received recognition from The Wall Street Journal, LA Times, USA Today, and Variety. As a producer, my credits include: CHILDREN OF AFGHANISTAN, a compelling non-narrative film that brought deeper awareness of the Afghan people's dire conditions prior to 9/11; VOICES IN WARTIME, examining how poets guide us toward greater truths during conflict; and REMAND, narrated by Angela Bassett.
In Malibu at Pepperdine, I have produced hundreds of film screenings and discussions with artists and thought leaders, creating spaces where stories provoke new ways of seeing and reflect upon culture's evolution. This commitment to transformation through storytelling extends into my work at the intersection of wellness and human potential. I'm part of an international community of peacemakers dedicated to healing, unification, and transformation. Over the years I served as a leader within the Associates of the Sisters of Saint Louis. And, my first book, Pearl Diving, reflects my philosophy of collective healing, drawing on my long-standing relationship with an orca—an experience that illuminates profound pathways to wholeness.

I am focused on being present and maintaining equanimity. These core principles, along with the third “leg” of always trying to improve the quality of my communication are the foundation of my professional and personal experience which includes being a small business owner, real estate development executive, realtor, college teacher, personal coach, parent, wife, friend and volunteer.
For the past 14 years I have owned and operated a small private high-intensity training studio; I discovered the Super Slow regimen almost 20 years ago as a means of getting and staying in shape after my second child was born, and found it was the most sustainable way to achieve and maintain fitness. Working out 20-minutes a week with a knowledgeable trainer has been effective and safe, and has allowed me to intermittently do other physical activities such as skiing, hiking, mountain biking, scuba diving and yoga without injury.
Over the past two decades I have become increasingly interested in the relationship between exercising the body, maintaining healthy brain function, and longevity. I believe that in today’s swiftly and unrelentingly constantly changing world that staying on top of one’s physical and mental health as well as being aware of and using the available means to do so, should be part of every person’s education. To that end, Kathryn Linehan and I offer consultation services to both individual clients and organizations. Our aim is to integrate our clients’ mental and physical well-being, the foundation of which being a simple, effective exercise protocol.
