Hi…I am a filmmaker with a passion for somatic wisdom and ancient Egypt.
My background is multifaceted, and driven by an insatiable curiosity. Raised in New Jersey, my career unfolded in Boston, where I worked in video production and on film sets with great enthusiasm. After work at a startup took me out to “Western Mass,” I joined PBS, where I produced a wide range of content with a powerful team for 12 years. During this period, I developed a knack for conducting deep interviews and began to refine my own signature style.
My grandmother ignited my passion for travel, and following an extraordinary trip to Egypt I departed PBS to launch my exploratory documentary, The Breast Archives. The impetus for the project came after an unplanned overnight spent in the Great Pyramid. It was here that I received a cosmic download regarding an ‘ancient breast based wisdom.’
By this time I was married, an avid yogi, and living a holistic driven lifestyle. I had also become an Apprentice within a mystery school called Priestess Path, and this 2-year program had been starkly eye-opening. We learned so much — and for the first time I became aware of the innumerable women who had been written out of history. As my own menopausal phase began to dramatically play out, I began to develop a new appreciation for a woman's unique “body based experience.” Now, with the scent of the Nile still fresh in my nostrils, I rolled up my sleeves and began to build the documentary upon a simple premise: What do we know that's been taught out out of us?
Everyone has a breast story…
Nine women came forward to be a part of the project. As I began the first round of interviews, it became clear that the breasts were a treasure trove of story. Secretly, I had harbored a deeply felt insecurity about my own breasts, and now there was a space to share and reflect.
As a young teenager, I had developed inverted “piggybank” nipples, and I was painfully afraid of being discovered as deformed. This silent burden influenced the development of my psyche, my character, and my understanding of myself as an “attractive” young woman. Thankfully, I had many important teachers who helped me balance my perspectives. But it was the filmmaking process that pried loose my secret shame.

Many people around the world have found The Breast Archives, and written me to describe the surprising way it touches and heals them.
I am now building on this foundation with workshops about the “breast plateau,” and about the light reflecting power that resides there. I am guided by an intimacy with several of the ancient Egyptian temple gods, and with a principled form of spirituality that I am honored to share.
The workshops include forthright content and never-before-seen interviews from The Breast Archives. I believe participants will be inspired by this content!
