What is this?

Welcome, welcome! The Living Aligned newsletter seeks to explore the science, soul, and practice of wellbeing and celebrate our human ability to grow and adapt.

My writing is a mix of journal-style musings on my own healing journey and its intersection with my clinical practice and practical strategies to improve health and well-being. Rather than offering sterile “tips and tricks,” I hope to invite you into my world and offer little bits of my own mind, heart, and soul. 

My interests are numerous and varied, and at the moment I am thinking and writing about occupational therapy in everyday life, polyvagal theory, trauma and resiliency, yoga and meditation, surf therapy, and healing power of nature. 

Why did I start this?

This newsletter was born while traveling in Central America after I finished my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy at USC. I was having so many new experiences, reading a ton, filling up journals at a rapid rate, and was desperate to share my ideas with someone other than my (amazing!) partner. For me, writing has always been the way that I have processed what I am learning and what is going on in my life. This newsletter is born out of my desire to share my personal journey and my professional expertise with a larger audience.

I hope this newsletter inspires you, feeds you delicious food for thought, and invites you into a deeper relationship with yourself, others, and the natural world.
