My Story
My spiritual journey began in childhood, sparked by a deep fascination with science and a sense of connection to something greater. Inspired by the moon landing and the night sky, I attended a program sponsored by Brooklyn College for astrophysics. My mother and sister, both deeply mystical, further influenced my spiritual awareness. Growing up on 14th Street, I was introduced to integral yoga, which was across the street, and began practicing yoga, Zen, and macrobiotics as a teenager.
My passion for science and spirituality continued at Columbia, where studying quantum mechanics reinforced my belief in their connection. Volunteering for the Dalai Lama during his first Kalachakra in NYC, I delved into sound frequencies and created a sound room to explore their effects. This led me to the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, where I continued my journey in energy work. Parallel to my spiritual journey, I developed an entrepreneurial spirit rooted in my father's haberdashery, where I gained experience in apparel branding, style, and body types, later honing my technical design skills at FIT and Parsons.
In my fashion career, I incorporated my physics and branding experience to create new silhouettes and brands that were later sold to top department stores and private label fashion collateral to top beauty companies. Currently, I am developing a men's designer brand. One of my key projects is Mama Gaiam, a community initiative in Chelsea and the Village, aimed at creating a positive local and global impact. Mama Gaiam is also in the same location as my father’s store. Central to my work is the belief that self-love and self-worth are essential for true manifestation. My ongoing work with sound focuses on how different frequencies can align individuals with their higher selves, including techniques like Qigong, breathwork, and energy.
