NarrativeRx

My work sits at the intersection of literature and medicine, using the arts and humanities to deepen reflective practice and relational care.

I hold a Master’s in Literature from the University of Texas at Austin and am a graduate of Columbia University’s Narrative Medicine CPA program. I’m the founder-director of NarrativeRx, a medical humanities initiative that fosters connection and reflection among healthcare providers, patients, educators, and advocates.

As a writer, I specialize in poetry, creative nonfiction, and memoir. Much of my work draws on my childhood in the coastal Deep South—a place of beauty and rot, oil and water, poverty and myth. My work appears in SmokeLong Quarterly, Cimarron Review, River Heron, and Literary Mama, among others. I was shortlisted as a Best Emerging Writer of 2024 by The Masters Review and was a finalist for the Jack McCarthy Write Bloody Book Prize.

As a practitioner and educator, I bring over twenty years of experience in massage and yoga therapy, specializing in persistent pain. I teach continuing education classes in Yoga Bodywork and Pain Management Massage, and I offer Narrative Medicine workshops, courses, retreats, and talks for interdisciplinary audiences worldwide.

I’m based in Austin, Texas. If you’re interested in bringing this work to your institution or community, I’d love to be in touch: [email protected].
