Echoes of the Himalayas
From Camden to Kathmandu
Born in Camden, NJ, I grew up surrounded by the vibrant energy of my family. My father, the third-born and oldest male of 13 children, was raised by a single mother, my grandmother, who faced immense challenges. Though she struggled to be present, her children demonstrated remarkable resilience, forging strong bonds and supporting one another.
Inspired by their determination, I embarked on my own path of self-discovery and service.
My journey took me to:
Destinations of Growth
Maui, Hawaii: Teaching combat yoga amidst tropical bliss
Nicaragua: Sharing wellness practices amidst vibrant culture
Costa Rica: Connecting with nature's rhythms
Dominican Republic: Empowering Haitian refugee communities through Qigong & Combat Yoga
Philadelphia: Rooting my practice in the city's dynamic energy
New York City: Expanding my reach through corporate sound journeys for mental health
A transformative connection came while living in Manhattan. I met a kindred spirit from Nepal, and together we created healing music for years. Our harmonious collaboration sparked an inspiring vision.
The Birth of Three Paths Nonprofit
We decided to bridge our cultures through vibrational singing bowls, importing handmade instruments from Nepal to Philadelphia.
This nonprofit project supports:
Our Mission
1. Nepalese artisans through fair-trade practices
2. Sound healing initiatives for holistic wellness
3. Temple rebuilding and community empowerment in Nepal
I'm traveling to Nepal to:
Documenting the Journey
Showcase the origins of our singing bowls
Highlight the temples benefiting from our project
