Hali has a diverse educational background and almost 20 years of experience working with non-profits in education, visual arts, animal welfare, and medical fields. She is a forever-student who loves learning and using her diverse skills to be of support. Hali became extremely ill some years ago which led her, like many, to seek health answers that resonated. During this time, she explored various integrative practices which greatly helped her along. She ended up completing her Masters in Integrative Medicine & Ayurveda to learn more to share with others. It is one thing to study information, but she feels peeling away aspects of her situation and applying integrative knowledge in real time gave her a deeper experiential understanding, appreciation for the benefits, and compassion for others. She loves being a part of others' health evolutions, as she is still on hers, too.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
