I am a researcher, therapist, parent, advocate, and East Indian descendant. I was born in Guyana, South America, grew up in Minnesota, USA, and am currently living in Hilo, Hawai'i. I experience a rekindled bond with my fellow human and beyond-human kinships. This rekindling allowed me to experience significant intrapersonal (within person), interpersonal (between persons), and transpersonal (beyond persons) healing. Given the opportunity, I would be honored to walk you down a similar path to wholeness so you too may transform pain into purpose.

TRIP's Tools for Transforming Angst into Actualization
In times of controversy and chaos, challenges and uncertainties, I humbly offer three TRIP principles to guide a path toward from angst to actualization.
And today, Nov 6, 2024, as we wake up and begin to process the outcomes of the U.S. election, these tools may be especially valuable. Regardless of which direction the nation moves, remember that societal events often reflect long-standing wounds and infections. Consider using this moment as a catalyst for your wholeness journey, transforming obstacles into opportunities for personal and collective resilience as one Nature Family.
Salvation
"Preservation and protection from harm, ruin, and loss..."
Seek out those human and beyond-human kin who bring you hope, forgiveness, and peace. Through this daily practice, we reconcile as a part of the whole and nurture sources of inner strength, affirming pain and suffering as a natural part of transformation.
Salvation reminds us to find solace in the shared essence of all life —to protect those who are most vulnerable.
Salutogenesis
"A focus on solutions and wholeness rather than only on problems and injections...?
Embrace what enhances well-being, wellness, and wholeness by recognizing and realigning with the elements of life that foster oneness, regardless of past or current pain.
Engage in daily practices that reconnect you to the natural world, supporting kinship and mutual flourishing especially in times of adversity. Which beyond-human kin (Butterfly, Oyster, Lotus, Diamond...)will become your Nature Family guide?
Sustainability
"To be established and maintained for the sake of all parts of the whole...."
Prioritize actions that cultivate stability and balance within self, with your community, and with the rest of our Nature Family.
Nurture wholeness and co-flourishing with our Big Sister Earth and fellow human and beyond-human kin is essential for building enduring resilience and healing multigenerational pain and suffering as one Nature Family.
