I was raised to perform. By fifteen, I was emancipated, living alone, dancing professionally, and appearing on National TV. I trained at Juilliard, became a choreographer, and had my work celebrated around the world. From the outside, I had made it.

​

But on the inside, I was fractured, trapped in a cycle of ambition, perfectionism, and self-destruction. My mind was in a state constant dissatisfaction. No matter how much I achieved, it was never enough—because I was chasing something I could only find within.

​

Then my father died and I spent the next 2½ years battling chronic illness. I couldn’t push. I was forced to stop. In that stillness, I opened a Buddhist book and for the first time felt I was reading the truth.

​

I took refuge with Mingyur Rinpoche and received Nature of Mind teachings. I’ve received empowerments from Lama Lakshey Zangpo, Kalu Rinpoche, and Drubpon Pema Rigdzin. I lived and practiced at Land of the Medicine Buddha for 3 months. I’ve maintained a daily meditation practice for over eight years and continue to receive teachings and empowerments from revered masters and saints around the world.

​

Buddhism didn’t teach me how to become better. It taught me how to let go. It was brutal. It broke my heart open. But in the wreckage, I found something real. A peace that didn’t come from getting what I wanted but from no longer needing to.

​

Now I live in devotion. I’ve left the city. I’ve chosen simplicity. I haven’t abandoned art—I’ve returned it to the sacred. My work no longer comes from striving, but from fullness. I create devotional performance—sacred theatre, ritual movement, and healing-based works that serve as prayer, offering, and transformation.

​

I co-lead Temple Dance with my partner, Sah D’Simone — a ritual movement experience blending somatics, trance, and devotion. I also teach Dharma and meditation workshops.

​

My devotion is to those who are ready to stop striving, release control, and finally come home, to themselves, to life, and to what matters.
