My Latest Projects
CORPORATE YOGA
I want to bring yoga to the workplace. I know first-hand how difficult it is to break away from your busy day at the office - a protein shake for lunch at my desk was the norm for me! Well-being is the foundation of health. So, I'm making it easier by offering a tailored mind-body-connection session right down the hall. Let me know if your company is interested!
CARBON ECONOMY
I am researching all that is happening in this growing field. There is focus on lowering carbon emissions, using life cycle analyses to define embodied carbon and carbon footprints, but also opportunities are being researched to make asset from capturing carbon already in the atmosphere. What I find most exciting is how agriculture is being considered into the equation. I truly believe everything relates and solutions will come when we finally connect all of the dots in the cycle.
