She explore the adaptability of props as a catalyst for meeting students where they are and inviting curiosity into practice.
Her local day-long and overnight retreats offer an immersive experience without asking students to travel far from home. As a teacher-trainer she encourages critical thinking and highlights how understanding the context of a teaching helps us see the both/and of seemingly contradictory information.
