BIO "My fascination with the human form led me to be a very active, observant, inquirer about being human, and I continually learn to love all it is! I have studied thought, form, emotion, energy, and how we express all of these elements throughout our lifetimes. A health nut and philosopher of sorts, I became a yoga practitioner in 1999 and after twenty years as a certified yoga instructor/therapist, I now combine a colorful array of tools individually appropriated to help you develop more loving ways of living! We can express this with movement, voice, frequency shifts that support your growth, personal, private, and hands-on energy influences, or online readings with full engagement between our highest selves to accommodate more free-flowing and willful ways to create an uplifting life!"
