Hi! I’m India (she/her).

It’s my honor and passion to help creative souls of all genders and identities to find and follow their true path in life and work. I founded the Wayfinder Institute® to unlock the power of art observation and mindfulness to spark personal growth and wellbeing.

My work is informed by Mindfulness, Art Museum Education, Yoga and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I have a Masters in Museum Education and studied with Rika Burnham and Lois Hetland. I trained in Mindfulness with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield for 2.5 years and received two certifications (MMTCP and MMT), with mentorship from Dawn Haney and La Sarmiento. I have 200- and 500-hour Yoga certifications from Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, where I studied with Devarshi Steven Hartman and Jashoda Edmonds, and Shakti Initiation Women’s Leadership Training with Jovinna Chan and Grace Jull, as well as a Kids Yoga certificate from Deep Play for Kids with Missy Brown. Receiving therapy and coaching (IFS, Sensorimotor/business, money, executive function) have also added to my skillsets and impacted my coaching and mentoring style–a great privilege.

I am a survivor of clinical depression. I live with ADHD and identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). I am queer. Each of these sometimes-isolating experiences has also given me deep compassion, connection and gifts.

As a creative, I am focused on my poetry and woodworking. I love nature, kitchen dancing, and travel. Sometimes delicious foods make me cry.

I grew up on the ancestral land of the Abenaki in VT and NH and live now on the ancestral lands of the Massachusett, Nipmuc and Wampanoag, in the vibrant Boston hamlet known as Jamaica Plain, with my dear husband, son and dog.

I would love to learn more about you, too. Feel free to reach out and let me know what resonates.
