I am a zen priest. I was ordained in 2009 and became a teacher in 2012. To everything I do, I bring 15 years of residential zen practice, including five years of intense monastic practice at Tassajara, and many silent retreats. There are two main fields of expertise I offer on Thumbtack: Conducting weddings is one of the most rewarding things I have done as a priest, starting with friends and acquaintances, and now on Thumbtack. I have been delighted to be involved with many multi-cultural, same-sex and queer weddings. I believe in and support everyone's right to love, and to marry the person they love. I would be happy to be an officiant for any couple who would like a Buddhist or non-denominational wedding ceremony. I love the formal aspects of zen, but I also want to bring meditation to people who will never set foot in a temple. I teach at large corporations, tech companies, start-ups, yoga studios, retreat centers, schools, colleges and the county jail. I enjoy introducing people to this transformative practice, in whichever style is most appropriate to their needs. My years of experience means that I know how to navigate the highs and lows of a meditation practice, and can advise people on whatever they may encounter on the path. Much of my work as a teacher has been counseling people as a spiritual advisor. If you would like to meet with me one-on-one to discuss issues you might be having and how the wisdom of a zen approach might help you, please be in touch. I used to offer this in the Spiritual Counselling section, but since I got so many strange contacts (all of which I have to pay for), I have discontinued offering that officially, but you can still reach out via the meditation instruction if you need to have a conversation. Studying this practice has helped me to be present for each moment and each situation, so I can show up completely to what and who is in front of me.

🌟 About Me No matter your spiritual beliefs — or even if you have none — I’m passionate about creating a meaningful, joyful, and memorable celebration of your love. Every ceremony I officiate is uniquely crafted. I don’t use templates or generic scripts. Instead, I take the time to get to know you as a couple, understand your story, values, and vision, and write a personalized ceremony that reflects the essence of your relationship. I’ll guide you with care and joy throughout the entire process — from the moment we connect to your wedding day. ✅ Fully bilingual (English & Spanish) ✅ Ordained in the State of California through the Universal Life Church Monastery ✅ Available for civil, spiritual, interfaith, and symbolic ceremonies ❤️ Sobre mí El amor al arte de escribir y dejar huella en el corazón de quienes me escuchan es lo que me inspira. Cada ceremonia que celebro está escrita con dedicación y cariño. Ningún guion se repite, porque cada boda es una historia de amor irrepetible que merece ser contada con autenticidad y emoción. Dedico mi tiempo a conocer a cada pareja, a comprender sus valores y creencias, para así poder crear una ceremonia inolvidable que refleje su amor de manera única y significativa.
