In 2000, due to a health crisis I began to explore the path to healing.  Certified in Healing Touch, Energetic NLP, a Reiki Master/Teacher, Tai Chi/Qigong Instructor and Meditation Leader.  I learned skills and techniques to enable my own healing as well as how to assist others in their healing.  Through my position at the University of Arizona (1996-2016), I was able to share my love of healing and started a Healing Touch clinic on campus for students and faculty. I also developed and managed a two-year research project on the effects of Healing Touch on Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans with post traumatic stress (PTS).   I taught Tai Chi/Qigong for the University of Arizona Employee Wellness Program and at the Tucson Veterans' Center. Currently, I have a private practice and teach healing methods.
