Storyteller, traveler, yoga teacher, and advocate for sustainability and biodiversity conservation in a changing climate. My work, whether leading a yoga practice, capturing wildlife through my lens, writing memoirs, or guiding workshops on travel, climate change, and conservation, is rooted in the same belief: every choice we make can help protect the living world we share.

From years of study with teachers in the U.S., Europe, and India to journeys through 29 countries, I’ve sought out the connections between people, cultures, and the earth’s ecosystems. Through my writing, photography, and teaching, I invite others into that connection — to see our planet’s beauty, understand its challenges, and join in the work of sustaining it for future generations.

ACTIONABLES

Education

Reforestation

Sustainable Food Systems

I believe in the power of collective action to combat climate change. By working together to create a healthier planet and creating global connections, we can ensure a better future for generations to come.

EDUCATION

I offer workshops, talks, and consultations with a variety of organizations from libraries to universities to businesses.

REFORESTATION

I plant trees in areas affected by deforestation, renewing the land's ability to sequester carbon and supporting local ecosystems. We focus on diversity, density, and natural techniques.

We monitor pockets of undeveloped and agricultural land.

SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS

Work with farmers and organizations to promote sustainable agricultural practices, reducing the carbon footprint of our food system. Empower local communities to grow their own food.

We provide education and resource support at the community level.

GREEN SPACES

We create green spaces in urban and suburban communities, promoting biodiversity and reducing the urban heat island effect.

SUPPORT WOMEN & GIRLS

Support women and girls in their pursuit of sustainability education and action. We support low and middle income countries facing the highest burden of climate change. I support indigenous populations obtain tools to manage their community's resources. I support the action of groups seeking to provide resources, conservation, and resources for all species. Build systems of cooperation to help maximize group climate action goals.

WHY SUPPORT US

A New Holistic Way of Approaching Climate Change

I do not take a piecemeal approach to climate change. I work with others to invest in the concept of planetary health which uses an integrative approach to addressing climate change. No one part of the planet or the species on earth can be supported without a multi-pronged approach. Everything is connected from the microbes to the ozone. It is up to us to build integrated systems that work in harmony with nature to mitigate climate change and shift where we can to reduce its impact.
