ABOUT ME
I'm Ali & this is my story...
I’m an Intuitive Mentor & Tibetan Buddhist practitioner with over a decade of experience guiding women & men in conscious relationships, deep intimacy, intuitive development, personal empowerment & shadow work.
After years in the fast-paced corporate world of New York City, I realized that chasing money & titles wasn’t fulfilling—in fact, it was making me ill. In 2011, I followed my intuition to leave my cushy luxury hospitality 9-to-5 & pursue a career in the healing arts. That’s when I started experiencing deeper fulfillment & abundance that didn’t require sacrificing my joy or integrity.
My ethos has evolved into: Success through Simplicity.
Today, I help spiritual high-achievers thrive through slow, sensual living. My goal is to help you prioritize pleasure and cultivate ethical, sustainable prosperity, allowing you to pursue what you love and serve others in a way that amplifies your joy and radiance - without the burnout of hustle culture. Using intuitive guidance & over a decade of experience as a spiritual solopreneur, I support you in creating peaceful, soul-led success on your own terms with a relaxed, minimal approach rooted in ancient Buddhist wisdom.
Contrary to the mainstream push for "always wanting more," I focus on intention & quality over quantity. In my world, less truly is more. True success doesn't have to be measured by accumulation or vanity metrics, especially if it leaves you exhausted & overwhelmed. Instead, I value energetic, mental & physical spaciousness, which gives me the freedom to be creative, rest whenever I need it & spend more time fully engaged in the things I love - offline.
I’ve redefined "success" by prioritizing inner transformation, which has simplified my life & radically increased my sense of abundance & fulfillment, beyond just the material realm - and I'll help you do the same.
Some other things you might not know about me: I'm also an Artist & Creative Visionary who blends minimalism with an appreciation for beauty & luxury. I’m rebellious & unconventional, refuse to be boxed in & regularly challenge mainstream beliefs—especially in this industry. I’m a Catalyst & Activator with a dark sense of humor. I'm a homebody introvert who likes to shine....from the privacy of my Zen Den, lol. My Big 3 are: Sagittarius Sun, Leo Rising, Scorpio Moon.
In my spare time, I love making curated music playlists & mood boards on Pinterest, telling dirty jokes, drinking too much espresso & speaking Italian, going on hot girl walks in my city & being an eternal romantic.

Professional Training
As of 2024, I've had over 12 years of extensive training in intuitive development as a healing arts practitioner, intimacy coach & spiritual entrepreneur, serving hundreds of people 1:1 & thousands of others via social media platforms like YouTube & Instagram.
I went to my first Hatha yoga & meditation class in 1999 & have been involved for 25+ years in this industry, including training in a 200 hour YTT, private mentorship as a Meditation Teacher in the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism, taking my first set of Buddhist vows in Spring 2024 after a year of practice & ongoing dharma studies with Three Jewels Enlightenment Studio, New York City. I've also studied Tantric Arts & the Magdalene Mysteries with some deeply embodied feminine mentors.
