I enjoyed 20+ years as a children’s librarian sharing stories and my love for the imagination and learning. I also studied and practiced the metaphysical and healing arts. My first yoga class led me to Eastern spirituality and a life full of interesting journeys:
- Teaching Integral Yoga in the 70’s
- Living at the Ananda community in northern California
- Receiving Reiki attunements in the 80’s
- Completing massage school and a Catholic Lay Ministry program in the 90’s
- Receiving Rapid Eye Technology training in 1998 and Master RET level in 2009
- Learning from Joyce and Barry Vissell, The Shared Heart relationship workshops
- Practicing nonviolent communication
- Visiting China, Mongolia, the Rainforest in Ecuador, Thailand, and Alaska.
Born and raised in New Jersey, I now live with my husband Ralph in Nevada City, CA. We enjoyed raising our son and daughter in the country with the beautiful Yuba River and Sierra Nevada Mountains.
I am glad to have the time now to share with my clients a very holistic approach to balancing their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions.
Rapid Eye Technology (RET) and Life Skills are a very powerful integration of processes that allow me to release stress, to clear unproductive patterns of behavior, and to learn new skills for creating the life and relationships I want. I invite you to explore RET and Reiki as transformational tools and to create the life you desire.
