I spent 12 years as an attorney. Then my body told me something had to change.

I know what it’s like to be the person who handles everything. After law school at Brooklyn Law, I spent over a decade practicing in some of New York’s most demanding legal environments — starting at Kramer Levin in white collar defense and securities litigation, then moving in-house as Associate General Counsel at the New York Racing Association. I was driven, capable, and proud of what I’d built. I was also running my nervous system into the ground. Years of sustained high-stress work eventually caught up with me in the form of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, a chronic autoimmune condition. It became the turning point that sent me deep into the science of stress and the nervous system — not as an academic exercise, but as a necessity. I spent years studying what was actually happening in my body and what could be done about it. What I found changed my life and ultimately, my career.

In 2020, I left the practice of law to become a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. I trained through the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy and built Shore Wellbeing with one purpose: to help high-achieving professional women regulate their nervous systems so they can stop surviving their lives and start living them. My approach is grounded in polyvagal theory — the science of how your nervous system responds to stress — combined with evidence-based coaching, emotional regulation tools, and body-based practices like breathwork. This isn’t about adding more habits to your morning routine. It’s about fundamentally shifting the way your body responds to the demands of your life. I also bring this expertise to Maven Clinic, the world’s largest virtual clinic for women’s and family health, where I help develop and deliver coaching programs for their clients.

I work primarily with professional women in high-demand careers — many of them attorneys — who are accomplished and driven, and who are experiencing anxiety, stress dysregulation, or emotional burnout. These are women who have already tried the traditional routes and are ready for something that actually addresses the root cause. If you’ve ever thought “I should be able to handle this” while struggling to hold it together, you are not broken. Your nervous system has just learned to treat everything like a threat. That’s something we can work on — and it changes everything.
