About me

I've been studying nonviolence ever since my first nonviolent direct action trainging at Occupy Boston in 2010. Since then, I've been fortunate to study nonviolent communication with my sister, Amanda Blaine, and our teacher in NVC and Resonant Language, Sarah Peyton. Since 2020, I've been walking the path of the "Shomeret Shalom," or practitioner of Revolutionary Jewish Nonviolence as taught by my beloved teacher, Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb. 

I claim my ancestral lineage of Levi'im - the ancient practitioners of accompaniment, song and prayer - standing on the shoulders of generations of people fighting for a more just and peaceful world. With the power of song, story, poetry, and prayer, I work to create spaces that are joyfully in service of collective liberation.

I was one of the first to be certified by Sarah Peyton as a Resonant Healing Practitioner (RHP). I believe deeply in the power of resonance, resonant language, and constellations. Whether I'm holding space for a community, company, couple or individual, I draw upon years of study and practice to hold "just presence." I am bound by the RHP Code of Ethics.
