She draws her inspiration from her experiences and studies in nature, movement, healing modalities, meditation, martial arts, music and play.  She is also the President of the Board of Trustees for the Wilderness Awareness School. She teaches on South Whidbey Island and has a private practice in Woodinville and Seattle on Mondays and Tuesdays.

“I believe nature is our greatest healer and teacher.  I began studying the Feldenkrais Method® in 1984 to heal a chronic injury that limited walking and many activities. 

My work today is informed from my love of movement and nature– in all forms and the power of our awareness to affect how we experience this moment.   Everything we need is reflected to us in the messages from the sun, earth, wind, water, trees, birds and the animals.

As human beings, we have a unique gift to connect to the intelligence in nature and with one another for healing and self-expression.   My work is about helping people, including myself, use our gifts through movement and awareness to connect deeply to life and its beauty.  My work is whole-brain, whole-body learning that guides you beyond “sensed” limitations toward growth, self-expression and freedom.”
