Hi, I’m Brenda.

I’m an artist, educator, mother, and certified sound and mindfulness teacher.

Originally from New York City and now living in Italy, my journey has been shaped by creativity, reflection, and a deep commitment to well-being. In my early 20s, while navigating anxiety, burnout, and emotional disconnection, I turned to meditation. Over time, this practice helped me rediscover a sense of peace, clarity, and purpose. That experience led me to further studies in mindfulness, gentle movement, and sound therapy—tools that have become an integral part of both my life and my work.

In my sessions—whether private, group, or workplace—I blend mindfulness, sound, and the arts to support presence, emotional balance, and personal renewal. My goal is to offer a welcoming, grounded space where people can pause, reconnect, and feel more at ease in themselves.

I hold a BFA in Painting from Boston University and an MA in Art, Education, and Community Practice from NYU. My mindfulness practice continues to inform how I create and teach—bringing presence and intention to both art-making and everyday life. I believe creativity is a powerful path to self-discovery and healing.

I’m certified in sound therapy through the Open Center’s Integrative Sound and Music Institute, the Resonant Alchemy program, and The Woom Center. I hold a 300-hour mindfulness meditation certification from MNDFL, as well as a 200-hour yoga teacher certification.

At the heart of my work is the desire to support others in living with greater calm, clarity, and connection.
