Background
Information
|
|
Writer/Photographer of Life, both in the trenches and heights of psycho-spiritual healing, especially for those on a grounded spiritual path.
As a somatic-trauma therapist, I seek to guide those who wish to resolve the effects of past trauma using the practice of Mindfulness, Body and Breath Awareness, and a technique I coined, BodyTracking.
A writer, poet and artist, teacher, photographer, and lecturer, I have taught and presented women’s spiritual workshops and seminars from the east coast to California.
My repertoire includes Soul Dancing, a book that is in progress — a personal account of healing the brain from a closed-head injury that I sustained in an automobile accident; a shamanic soul-journey which took me through several brushes with death, an unexpected visit before a twenty-foot angel with a sword, and to a remote cabin tucked away in the deep ponderosa forest of northern New Mexico, where I regained my life force.
