I am dedicated to promoting health equity for all women. As a scholar in the health sciences and an occupational therapist, I am committed to addressing key issues in women's health.

I offer paradigms and frameworks for comprehensively addressing women's health issues, integrating physical, psychological, emotional, and social health.

My educational and training programs empower participants to analyze critical health issues, co-construct solutions to shared challenges, and provide practical tools for promoting overall wellness.

The educational spaces I facilitate draw on extensive training in psychology, occupational therapy, and nutrition, utilizing the bio-psycho-social model. My courses, therapy sessions, and workshops bring together the best of academic and practical approaches to contemporary health challenges, combined with a nuanced understanding of women's health, and delivered through an engaging, application-oriented, and discussion-based approach.

By delivering accessible, relevant, and research-based courses and trainings to individuals, communities, and organizations, I offer new understandings and practical strategies for advancing women's health and well-being.
