Background & Training

Over twenty years of devoted practice and inquiry are at the heart of my work. My training includes six years (and ongoing) of Qigong training, a 200-hour Anusara Yoga teacher course, Paul Grilley's Yin Yoga course, four years of private apprenticeship with a shaman, a Reiki mastership, and decades of research of and practice with the Chinese medicine system, Yoga, meditation, astrology, herbs, psychology, physiology, breath, and Buddhist and Taoist philosophies.

My Philosophy

I believe in the inter-connectedness, intelligence and dignity of all things. I believe that aligning ourselves with nature - our own true nature, and all of nature - activates the greatest good. I believe awareness and kindness are evolutionary forces. I believe our personal healing and growth generate the most positive impacts possible - not only on our own lives, but on all of our relations, and from there, rippling outwards through humanity, the earth, and beyond.

"Try and penetrate without limited means the secrets of nature and you will find that, behind all the discernable concatenations, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything we can comprehend is my religion."

- Albert Einstein
