About Me

As a best-selling author and poet, internationally renowned yoga teacher, love coach, founder of The Heart Center love school, and host of the Learn to Love Podcast, everything I do is dedicated to helping people lead happier, more loving and more fulfilling lives.

I walk this path of love by traveling the world and leading classes, workshops, retreats, and teacher trainings. I summed up a lot of my teachings in the book The Seven Lessons of Love: Heart Wisdom for Troubling Times. I also wrote two poetry collections: 108 Savasana Poems and Drinking Roses on Sunday.

"I am committed to building a world based on unconditional love and connection."

My online writings have been featured in many outlets, including the Huffington Post, Elephant Journal, Thought Catalog, and MindBodyGreen, and my poems have been seen in such publications as October Hill Magazine, The Oddville Press, The CHILLFILTR Review, and Dream Noir Magazine.

As I walk this path of love, I try my best to expand on and develop my knowledge. This includes an M.A. in East-West Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies, getting E-RYT500 certified with trainings from The School Yoga Institute in Guatemala, the Himalayan Yoga Association in India, and the Prison Yoga Project, advanced Thai massage training at the Sunshine Network in Thailand, sex educator training with San Francisco Sex Information, Buddhist meditation training at Kopan Monastery in Nepal, Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) at Stanford University in California, Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) Training from The Center for Mindful Self-Compassion, and many additional continuing education programs, retreats, and trainings with different organizations and people around the world.
