I work at the intersection of integrative health science and embodied practice — as a researcher, faculty member, and clinician.
My scholarship examines embodiment as a central dimension of human development: how physiological processes, lived bodily experience, and cultural narratives interact to shape health, identity, and performance. Current areas of inquiry include interoception and psychophysiological regulation in athletic environments, chronic tension, and contemplative models of learning.
Before doctoral research, I rowed for the United States National Team for six years, earning gold at the World Rowing Championships in 1995. That background continues to inform how I think about high performance — what the body knows, what the nervous system carries, and what training systems often miss.
