First, what matters and how I can help - I believe in the your ability to heal and to create a life you love. I believe in the power of connection, touch, being real, stories, and creativity because these help us deal with whatever life might throw our way. I an a member of the Creative Process, Not Product, Fan Club and will sponsor your membership when you're ready to join, too. I understand childhood, or developmental, trauma, transition, the impact of sudden illness, and chronic illness from the inside out. I understand caregiving, and the effects of brain injury in loved ones. I promise to use all of my knowledge, expertise, and life experience during our time together.

Now my credentials...I am a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner in the Kansas City, MO area and have been ceritifed since March 2001. I have a master's degree in non-clinical health psychology and employ a foundational holistic, integrated approach to health and well-being. I am a certified Kaizen Muse Creativity Coach (CKMCC) which underlies my gentle approach to healing and creative processes. I am a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT) and teach tangling as a meditative, calming, fun process. I am certified for trauma informed care for trauma and addiction (CCTS-A).

I am married, have two adult children and two grandchildren, am a certified foster fail for rescued dogs and cats, and nurture a 111-year old historic house nestled in a small town with a Civil War battleground up around the corner.
