Mission

We live in a world in which the model of medicine relates to the treatment of disease. We view doctors as individuals who treat our ailments and help to keep us well. However, each of us has the potential through enhanced self-care and wellness practices to avoid or limit disease, to slow the aging process, and to achieve a higher state of overall well-being.

MY MISSION IS TO HELP PROFESSIONALS TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THEIR HEALTH AND CAREER BY TEACHING THEM SKILLS-BASED LEARNINGS AND MINDSET SHIFTS THAT WILL LEAD TO A HIGHER STATE OF WELL-BEING AND SUSTAINABLE SUCCESS.

In My Own Words

I wanted to be a physician as far back as I can remember. As a child, I was deeply curious. I asked questions relentlessly. My maternal grandparents both died of chronic illnesses by the time I was 6, and I soon began to wonder about the how the body worked, why it sometimes failed, and the impact of disease on our lives.

I was fortunate to be focused and disciplined through the years of my formal education. I wanted a career in which I could be of service to people and so I chose medicine. After graduating from medical school at 24, I began a residency in pediatrics followed by a fellowship in hematology/oncology. After my fellowship, I joined the faculty at a major university. I found nothing more rewarding than working with children with cancer and their families, but, as time went on, I wanted to serve larger populations and to have more opportunities for leadership in medicine. I returned to the university to develop skills in management and business, and I gradually transitioned my career to drug development in the pharmaceutical industry.

I have since held positions of increasing responsibility and international reach at four major companies. What I realized during my 14 years of corporate service is that there is nothing more critical to success than effective leadership. The need for outstanding leadership skills among corporate executives far supersedes content expertise.

While I always believed in my skills and talent, I somehow thought that I would be an effective leader because I had these aspects of professional life mastered. I was wrong. I learned through failure, hard work, and lots of introspection that effective leadership is not intuitive. It requires significant practice to build skills such as active listening, coaching, mentoring, team building, self-reflection, and more.

Sixteen years ago, someone suggested I try yoga—and it changed my life. I slowly began to feel more grounded as a person and in my work, no longer so easily riled or reactive. Over several years, I developed a sense of inner calm and outer stability. Now, I can’t imagine my life without it.

Today, I am certified as a yoga instructor and teach yoga primarily “beyond the mat.” What does that mean? I help people to apply the practice and philosophy of yoga to their daily lives to enhance health and wellness and to develop personal leadership skills. I’ve found a remarkable intersection between the foundational principles and practice of yoga and highly effective leadership. I love for my work with others to help them live a life of wellness and support them in their journey as leaders.

My first book, Beyond the Mat: Achieve Focus, Presence and Enlightened Leadership Through the Principles and Practice of Yoga, was written with these goals in mind. My second book, Be True: A Personal Guide to Becoming Your Most Authentic Self, is geared to help people to live and lead authentically; in line with their own core values and beliefs. These two books represent my true passion: to help people to achieve their highest state of well-being in ways that are sustainable and available to everyone.
