My Background & Mission
I have written and published a lot of poems. I have been a poetry editor for several literary magazines including one as my faves, the Bellevue Literary Review. I have an MFA from NYU where I had the honor of studying with the greatest poets of our time. For my poetry performances I have been called, “wonderful” by the rags such as The New York Times and “captivating” by backstage Magazine. I am a certified health coach who specializes in body image and women’s health. I have a growing Substack publication where I publish weekly yoga poems from my collection, A Poem for Every Pose. But my most favorite thing to do is teach uplifting and inspiring poetry and empowerment workshops. This is why I offer you the Bodylove Poetry Workshop– it combines it all for this time when we need the caretakers of the world to learn to love and accept themselves more and more every day and spread more love and light in the world.
