I am passionate about engaging the soul for the purpose of individual and collective transformation. As a teacher and a healer, with over twenty years of experience, I specialize in indigenous approaches to healing, somatic psychology, and the expressive arts. It is my heart felt belief that as each person turns towards, and acts upon the gifts that they were born to embody and express, the earth is healed, and the world is transformed.
