Writing: My reflections on healing and growing
somatic therapy
Coming soon
Reflections from Beyond Yoga’s transform program in mexico
In October 2024, I came across a program in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico that changed my perspective.
Most month-long programs were specific to certain experiences that required strict guidelines and/or cost nearly $60,000 to attend, making it barely accessible to most individuals.
More to come on this. Stay tuned.
talk therapy & medication
I’ve sought talk therapy for nearly 8 years, weekly (sometimes 2x a week) and was on antidepressants for that time as well.
While I am a believer that this pathway helped me tremendously on my journey, and I believe in medicine, coming from a family of physicians (cardiology, internal medicine and preventive medicine), I have discovered in my search that there may be a better way to heal, at least for myself.
I studied psychology at Barnard College at Columbia University in New York City and at the Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis, becoming licensed and earning my LMSW in New York state. Still, I think there’s part of the picture we’re missing when we talk about mental health and how to achieve our dreams, or even learn how to dream again in the first place.
More thoughts and reflections to come!
