I believe strongly in sharing my skills with vulnerable populations. In 2009, I began volunteering my time in two local organizations, teaching techniques for stress reduction to homeless women and offering pain relief to torture survivors through seated bodywork sessions.
In March 2011, I founded the nonprofit Shine Alliance International, Inc. to expand the breadth of my work by serving individuals who have been displaced due to abuse, intolerance, political conflict, or natural disaster. The organization aims to support displaced individuals with reviving their spirit, health, and human rights in the wake of trauma.
My goal is to offer my bodywork skills as a means of empowering these vulnerable individuals to embrace their core strength and forge ahead in this next chapter of their lives.
Donations help to support my work with displaced individuals and allow me to reach more people. Individual sessions are geared toward physical or emotional pain relief.
