I wasn’t fooling around at the top there when I said I was a student of the healing arts. I love studying this material. I just can’t get enough of it. I love it for the gifts it gives to my life and the opportunity to learn from truly incredible teachers. I love the time I get to spend in classes with students and the atmosphere of the classes. This is part of my way to connect in a world that brings deep fulfillment to my heart and soul. I will always be studying and one day I will start my own school of the healing arts. Please sign up for my newsletter if you want to know more about this as it develops.
Finally, I am also a mother to a daughter and son. They fill my cup until it runs over and then in reality sometimes it also runs dry. I love old music and music and being a muppet. I do not take things too seriously and then I take things very seriously. And ultimately I believe that laughter is the best medicine.
