I have been working in the professional field of massage therapy/bodywork & energy therapies since1989. Coming from a dance and theater arts background, I eventually moved into the healing and meditative arts. These modalities and studies have been a deepening expression of my personal practice of "experiencing" body, mind, and heart. My intention for this ongoing work is to continue self inquiry and healing, to share life experience and knowledge while assisting clients, students and others on their journeys into health and well being.
