About Me
When you meet me, you will find that I am a genuine allied spirit. It has always been my true nature to be reflective, curious and inspired by our sacred stories. From early on, I knew I had an open heart for others and a deep desire to find meaning and healing. This aspiration for better understanding the human experience can be seen throughout my life, and has become the cornerstone of my personal and professional focus.
Life is a Winding Path...
When Newton said, "the line of nature is a straight line", William Hogarth said, "the line of nature is a curve".
​
Sometimes it is in life's curves; the mysterious unfolding of the unpredicted hardship or the unexpected treasure, that makes our life valuable, rewarding and meaningful. My journey is no exception. Through my own adversities and personal commitment to this work, I've come to know my own resiliency through playfulness, curiosity, self-awareness, and acceptance. Over time, I have learned to compassionately and radically accept myself; YES, even the parts I have heavily judged as inadequate. Instead of criticizing my winding path, I found that it was brilliantly stitched together in a readiness to serve myself and others.
