I’m a Brooklyn-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Rebirthing Breathwork Mastery (RBM) Practitioner, Reiki Level 1 Practitioner and artist. I was first drawn to RBM while seeking tools to regulate my nervous system and show up more authentically and connectedly as a parent to my two young daughters.
With over 16 years of experience in social work, I deeply resonate with the gentle, agenda-free nature of RBM. Its respect for self-determination and personal sovereignty mirrors the core values of my clinical practice. Through this work, I experienced a profound personal transformation — rediscovering and rebirthing my creative self. Breath became a bridge back to my artistic roots, reigniting a flow of expression that had long been dormant.
I’m continually in awe of the co-creative, collective healing potential of RBM. It’s a powerful, conscious process that invites each of us back into alignment with our inner truth. I especially love sharing this work at Menla Retreat Center, where the alchemy of healing, nature, and community creates a truly magical container for integrated change.

“I went to the Dr. Nida and Robert Thurman rejuvenating retreat. What a life changing experience. I feel so much better after just a week. The food is amazing, the spa is too good to be true. I love this hidden gem in the Catskills. I probably shouldn’t review this place—too many people might find out about it…”

“Really enjoyed my time at Menla. It’s amazingly peaceful and quiet, the people are incredibly nice and approachable, the humility of the Dalai Lama permeates throughout the place. The accommodations are nice and the food is great.”
