Cultivating Community and Curating Wellness: The Vision of Block 134, Sage Health, and Silver Circle Gallery

At the heart of my work as an integrative health practitioner and functional medicine nutritionist lies a deep-rooted belief in the transformative power of community, environment, and holistic healing. Through my establishment, Block 134 Arts & Wellness Collective, my health practice, Sage Health, and the artistic curation of Silver Circle Gallery, I’ve created a dynamic ecosystem that integrates art, wellness, and connection to inspire healing and empowerment.

Seventeen years ago, Silver Circle Gallery was my first undertaking—a space where I merged my background in therapeutic and fine arts to create an environment that honored the healing power of creativity and community. From the beginning, my mission was to use art as a tool for transformation, fostering connection, emotional expression, and holistic well-being. Silver Circle Gallery continues to play a pivotal role in this synergy by curating inspiring and thought-provoking artwork that encourages self-discovery and deep connection—not just to oneself but to others and the greater community. Through our collaboration, we invite individuals to explore new perspectives, process emotions, and awaken inspiration, making Block 134 a truly unique sanctuary for holistic well-being.

Block 134, Sage Health, and Silver Circle Gallery are all deeply rooted in my "SAGE" approach—Synergistic Alignment for Growth & Empowerment. This holistic, root-cause healing framework emphasizes aligning all aspects of your being—physical, emotional, mental, energetic, and spiritual. By bridging the tangible and intangible, the physical and metaphysical, we aim to restore balance, enhance vitality, and empower you to live in alignment with your highest purpose.

My Philosophy: Guiding you Back Home to Yourself, to Source, and to Love

As a practitioner, my mission is to usher people back home to themselves. Like Glinda the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz, I remind you that everything you need for health, happiness, and resilience has been within you all along. My role is not to perform magic but to guide you in uncovering the vibrant, adaptable, and strong self that has always been there.

Central to my approach is a deep respect for wisdom—both the innate wisdom of your body and the wisdom embedded in the methods and principles I use in practice. The word "Sage" reflects not only my name but also the grounding philosophy of my work: the understanding that true healing comes from listening to and honoring the body’s innate intelligence. By tapping into this wisdom, we can peel back the layers of stressors, remove what no longer serves, and allow the body, mind, and soul to thrive.

At its core, healing is about returning to love—the force that connects us all in our purest state. Love is the medicine that brings us back to ourselves, to our communities, and to the essence of who we truly are. When we create environments infused with love—through art, human connection, and holistic wellness—we cultivate healing on all levels.

For those facing chronic and complex illnesses, my approach is about helping you "just undo it"—peeling back the layers of stressors across all five dimensions of being: physical, energetic, mental, emotional, and spiritual. By removing what no longer serves you and addressing the blocks that hinder healing, we can “get back to basics” with foundational lifestyle practices—my Six Roots of Wellness—and return to your true self.

When we reconnect with our authentic nature, we create the conditions for profound healing and transformation. This process allows your body, mind, and soul to thrive, unlocking your soul’s true calling and enabling you to live authentically. Health and happiness emerge not just as biochemical states but as expressions of alignment, wisdom, and freedom.

• Nutrition & Digestion

• Somatic Health & Physiological Function

• Psycho-Emotional Balance

• Spiritual Connection & Energetic Alignment

• Relationships & Connection, Love

A Prescription for America: Community

The U.S. Surgeon General recently highlighted the critical role of community in promoting health and well-being. This prescription validates the foundation of Block 134, Sage Health, and Silver Circle Gallery. We are not meant to heal or thrive in isolation; connection is essential. By offering a diverse array of services—naturopathy, acupuncture, nutrition, hypnotherapy, meditation, sound healing, therapeutic art workshops, and more—we serve as a microcosm of what’s possible when community and care come together.

Art and Wellness: A Synergistic Approach

Art and wellness are more than passions for me—they are essential components of a healthy life. Creative expression can unlock emotional release, while wellness practices restore balance and resilience. Together, they form a powerful synergy that empowers individuals to live fully and authentically. Silver Circle Gallery enhances this vision by offering art as a transformative healing tool, fostering connection and self-discovery.
