With Ultradilute, I bring my life, learning, and full attention to guiding clients on their path to health. My own life has taken many twists and turns, from growing up on a farm in the southern US to bootstrapping a career in the arts, settling in New York as an arts director, and now making rural New England home with my partner and our two lovely dogs. I am grateful for this breadth of experience.
I spent the first half of my life deeply enmeshed in the arts. Obsessed with music from an early age, I pursued composition, earning an MFA from Mills College and receiving commissions from foundations in the US, Europe, and Asia.
I then transitioned into arts leadership, directing Eyebeam, an acclaimed arts organization in New York City, while also teaching at the School of Visual Arts. I raised money and ran programs in support of creative people across art, technology, and even journalism. I developed strong relationships with like-minded organizations, realizing a shared vision of artistic exploration in an array of disciplines. I helped open opportunities for creative people who went on to launch their own careers or organizations.
My life-long, single-minded pursuit of getting work done at all costs finally slammed into a wall during the pandemic: over the coming years I suffered major burnout and exhaustion, overwhelmed by the effort to sustain my organization amidst multiple crises. This resulted in some unexpectedly challenging health issues. My body sent a clear signal: change your priorities, now, or deal with the consequences. Coincidentally, I had also been reading everything I could about homeopathy around that time, finding it to be an extraordinarily elegant medicine for opening up healing. I eventually saw a great homeopath and immediately began to feel better, sleeping well for the first time in years. I also studied everything I could get my hands on about the ways in which creativity emerges as stress dissolves and healing begins. Together, these experiences set me on a path to refocus my life energy into a field which would both nurture my personal well-being and allow me to help guide others to a return to their vitality and potential.
After this challenging time, having heeded the call of homeopathy myself, I completed training at the Academy of Homeopathy Education in Philadelphia. I am also participating in the International Supervision Group of Dr. Massimo Mangialavori, a talented homeopath and educator, with other homeopaths around the world in order to continue to deepen and broaden my expertise. I am melding this homeopathic training with all that I have learned, felt, intuited, and absorbed in my life and work in order to provide generous, empathetic support to clients. I approach each case with respect for both homeopathic principles and conventional medical wisdom, understanding that they can be supportive of one another.
I am convinced that people experience their greatest vitality when they are creative, whether that is expressed through art, innovation, problem-solving, or simply approaching life with curiosity and adaptability. My goal with each and every client is to help them find their own path to health, through homeopathic care, one conversation at a time.
