About Me
I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. At 17 I moved to Virginia to study Philosophy and Mathematics at the University of Richmond. After college I worked several service industry jobs while studying the Anat Baniel Method: Neuromovement.
In my personal life, I play the piano, chess, basketball and golf. I also love to read and am passionate about the grappling arts. I practiced Judo as a young child, wrestled in high school, and now practice Brazilian Ju-Jitsu.
I learned about Neuromovement from my mother, Sharon Oliensis, who has been a practitioner for more than 30 years. Growing up I saw how she was able to help others profoundly while pursuing her own growth, and succeeding professionally. The more I study the work the more I am engaged intellectually, physically, and emotionally.
My spiritual and meta-physical perspectives align with the principles of Neuromovement. I believe our ignorance will eternally exceed our knowledge, and so greater awareness generally leads towards curiosity and away from dogma. When we move, we can move with wonder, with the realization that we can always find greater efficiency, ease, presence, and peace.
