BUDDHIST WISDOM & MEDITATION
Discover how ancient Buddhist teachings can transform your daily life through personalized meditation instruction and philosophical guidance. Drawing from my academic research in Buddhist studies and years of practice in the Karma Kagyu lineage, I offer sessions that bridge traditional Tibetan wisdom with modern life challenges.

Mantra Meditation: Use sacred sound and repetition to focus the mind, invoke qualities of wisdom and compassion, and connect with lineage blessings.
Body Awareness Practices: Integrate physical sensation, breath, and awareness through practices inspired by yogic and tantric traditions.
