She has a daily spiritual practice including meditation and yoga for decades with a special interest in holistic, integrative healing modalities. She studied integrative therapy with Donna Karan’s groundbreaking Urban Zen Foundation from experts in the field where the focus was changing healthcare, supporting MD’s, nurses, caretakers and individuals struggling with chronic pain, anxiety and other symptoms related to cancer treatment. She has provided care to clients undergoing cancer treatment and hospice.
