Wu Tsai Fellowship
Female Athlete Health
As a Wu Tsai Human Performance Fellow, I lead a holistic project on the health, well-being, and performance of female college student-athletes, examining how mindsets, yoga-based practices, and physiology interact.
Interventions
Mindset Yoga Training
I design holistic, multimodal mindset interventions. The one I've tested most rigorously, Mindset Yoga Training, combines mindset education, mindfulness, and yoga-based practice; in a randomized trial with law students, it improved stress mindsets, mindfulness, and well-being.

Harnessing Mindsets and Meta-Awareness
My TEDx talk on how we can learn to recognize, understand, and intentionally shift the mindsets that shape our health and performance.
Work together
I work with people and organizations in a few ways: research and consulting (validating measures, designing studies, collecting and analyzing data), speaking and workshops, and holistic coaching that draws on yoga to support health, well-being, and performance across the domains that matter to you. If any of this resonates, let's talk.
