nothing changes until you do.
The master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between her labor and her leisure, her mind and her body, her work and her play, her education and her recreation.
She hardly knows which.
She simply pursues her vision of excellence through whatever she is doing and leaves others to determine whether she is working or playing.
To herself, she is always doing both. 
- James A. Michener

Hello Darling!

In 2005 I founded Hol-Life Industries, LLC to engage busy New Yorkers in the practice of self-care, seasonal eating, and yoga. It has since evolved and expanded to intersect matters of purposeful living, food, farming, health, ecology, and community food systems.

I offer one-on-one and self-guided programs in self-development, private yoga instruction, an introduction to the locavore experience, farm to fork getaways, and good food marketing.

Keep in touch. Sign up for my newsletter:
