Instructor since 2000, now teaching Levels 1 - 5 in Hawaii and Japan.  I bring a passion and heart energy to each class and student as we engage in this work together.  My background includes over 40 years of nursing, in clinical and management roles in the hosital, community and hospice settings.  Most recently, I am the Advanced Care Planning Coordinator for a 550 bed medical center, Queens Health Care in Honolulu.  Hosting converstions with patients and their families about end of life wishes taps the skills I have gained as CHTP - healing presence and engaging the 4 attributes of the heart.

I have provided counseling and energy work to individuals for about 25 years. In general, my background is in office management, non-denominational ministry, bio-energy therapy and counseling specializing in holistic wellness. In past, I have volunteered as an associate hospital chaplain, and presently, as a Healing Touch volunteer at Queens Medical Center on Oahu. Aside from having a wellness practice, I also do part-time work in real estate and do energy work on properties. 

Whether with patient or client, I gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the unique dynamics each person holds.

My clinical experience is mental health, public health and holistic nursing. I've been an educator and administrator nursing schools for 30+ years in Hawaii and Oregon.  I'm an author and international presentor.  I'm currently the HBB Ethics Chairperson.  I teach course one and two in Hawaii.
