Everything changed when I became a mother in 2019. My priorities shifted from being a top performer in my fast-paced Silicon Valley tech job to becoming a present, compassionate caregiver. Parenting has turned out to be the most rewarding job I’ve ever had—and the most brutally humbling. Want to discover your deepest triggers? Try arguing with a toddler for 20 minutes about toast cut the “wrong” way.

When my first child was born, I started working with a coach who introduced me to Somatics—the study of how our bodies carry and express our lived experiences. I kept hearing parenting advice that started with “just stay calm,” but no one was telling me how. For me, the answer was Somatics. It’s transformed how I connect with my kids, myself, and everyone around me. In 2022, I completed my Somatic Coach training through the Strozzi Institute so I could share this powerful work through Modern Rituals.

I created Modern Rituals with the belief that ceremony and community should feel natural, grounded, and accessible. In a world where disconnection is the norm, our offerings bring people back to what’s real—through circles, rituals, and shared experiences that remind us of our inner strength and the power of being seen.

I’m deeply grateful to host transformational gatherings on my family’s 20+ acre estate in the Los Gatos hills and throughout the greater Bay Area.
