My Mission
I believe that everyone is a genius, but sometimes they get stuck. I help people discover their unique genius and guide them to consciously implement it in their lives.
My Core Values
Authenticity - I guide others to express their true voice — grounded, genuine, and free from imitation.
Growth - Every challenge is an invitation to evolve through awareness, reflection, and creative practice.
Creativity - I see creativity as the bridge between insight and action —a force for healing, innovation, and leadership.
Presence - Transformation begins with attention. I teach clients to cultivate deep listening and embodied awareness in every moment.
Integrity - I align psychology, art, and spirituality with compassion and ethical clarity, ensuring that transformation serves both self and community.
Experience
Modern Learning Theory
In 1998, I introduced to the New York City school system what’s now known as “modern learning theory," with 2 training programs. This learning practice focuses on recognizing each student’s unique learning style (e.g., visual, auditory, kinesthetic) and creating a teaching style and classroom environment flexible enough to address all the students’ needs.
Executive Coaching, Speaking, Creativity Workshops, and Team-Building
I've worked with General Electric, the Loma Linda Medical University Transplant Division, and the Amadeus Corporation. Additionally, I've customized consulting for a wide variety of small businesses across industries ranging from financial services to wellness and food and grocery. And I was on Tony Robbins' staff.
Professional Pianist
I’ve performed on numerous television and radio shows and have scored more than 25 films, videos, and commercials. I’ve played gigs at clubs and private events all around New York City, including appearing on the Joe Franklin show (he introduced me as “red hot on the NYC cabaret scene”), and four years as the house pianist at Garvin’s Jazz Club.
Musical Collaboration
I have worked and collaborated with internationally renowned musicians and artists, including Meatloaf, Gregg Burge (who choreographed Michael Jackson’s music videos for “Bad” and “Thriller”), and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and author Paul Zindel.
