about me

Something measurable happens to our brains in a room full of live music that recordings cannot reproduce. On neural phase-locking, community choirs, and music as social bonding.

After nineteen years with children and families, the one book I recommend most is The Whole Brain Child. The upstairs and downstairs brain, and practical ways to connect before you redirect.

Anxiety under systemic racism is not irrational — it is survival. How capitalism and colonialism shape who we believe we are, and why “What do you do?” is never a neutral question.

When we override what our bodies are telling us, the cost shows up physically. On Gabor Maté's work, autoimmune illness, and what happens when we stop speaking up for our own needs.

Our identities are constructed, discovered, revealed — and sometimes forced upon us. Moving through five layers, from the individual to the universal, and what the left and right brain each contribute.
