The meaning of Breema, which is "the activity of the body when I am present," has fueled my professional studies and embodied my life with a new essential posture for thinking, feeling, and moving.

As a young child I was drawn to movement and connection. This impulse led me to the formalized study of dance and then decades of training and active practice in massage therapy and complimentary somatic modalities. Since 1995, my study of Breema introduced to me the a new dimension of consciousness and presence which is available as an experience of the self through body-mind connection. For over 20 years, I actively instructed in Santa Cruz, at the Breema Center in Oakland, and throughout the United States. I became a staff member of the Breema Center in 2012, working offsite in Wisconsin since 2020.
