I have been teaching yoga and working with animals for the past 13 years, and am continually exploring their overlap. I have spent the past decade studying agriculture, apprenticing with animal trainers, and working as a consultant for local nonprofits. I have always dreamed of rewilding myself and my environs by bringing more plants and animals to the city. For the past 6 years, I have been bioremediating the lots next to my home, resulting in an urban-farm-dreamscape. The animals here are a delight to local children and have become neighborhood mascots. As my day job, I own and operate a holistic health clinic in Pilsen that provides acupuncture and musculoskeletal therapy.
