Interests:
My passion, put simply, is to inspire. I do this by bringing the highest quality training to health care professionals, bringing them opportunities to study with masters in their field, diversify their education, become more inspired and skilled practitioners, which in turn benefits their patients and, again in turn, benefits the entire field of natural medicine. For the general public classes, I seek out the most unique offerings I can imagine so as to set my program apart from many other offerings in such a large metropolitan area as Seattle.
I am also interested in art, music, books, and community building. I am passionate about nature: inspired, awed, amazed on a daily basis and feel blessed that my nature is to be paying attention.
I have been a volunteer in animal rescue for 25 years, currently acting as adoption follow-up coordinator for Evergreen Golden Retriever Rescue.
Honor & Awards:
