Cory’s commitment to balance and harmony has inspired her to become a student of Ayurveda and Yoga eventually allowing her to teach and facilitate healing.  Her deep understanding of these ancient practices aid in her ability to communicate their wisdom in a personal and practical way.  Both inspiring and patient, she has an innate ability to convey their truth and meaning. 
As a committed practitioner, Cory is honest, receptive, welcoming, understanding and accepting of all who come to see her, providing them with a safe, life-affirming experience.

Cory is also the founder of  Pure Habitat, “an eco-friendly cleaning service that has been helping New York City ‘go green’ for over a decade.” 
A full-time faculty member at the Ayurvedic Institute in multiple capacities, Cory helps design and develop curriculums, assists Dr. Vasant Lad during his Guru Kula lecture series, leads Foundational Skills (an Ayurvedic lifestyles course), and teaches both the beginner and advanced Ayuryoga courses.
