My Story

Growing up in the woods of middle Georgia and part time on the islands off the coast of Georgia fostered in me from my earliest momories a deep love and strong connection to nature.   As a young adult living on the Georgia coast, I began to experience my connection to nature as a healing force.  This experience lead me to move to Boulder, Colorado as I sought teachers to help me learn how to share this connection with others. 

In Boulder, I studied with many excellent teachers, one of which is Damaris Jarboux who tought me Medical Qigong.  I am still studying with Damaris over 27 years later! Practicing Medical Qigong as a healing art to help others is my passion and I am so happy to be an agent of the transformation and healing of others.  With Medical Qigong I am able to help clients connect with the healing energies of nature, which are the same energies in our bodies. 

I also attended The Naropa University in Boulder and attainded a MA in Contemplative Psychotherapy.  Psychotherapy has proven to be an excellent path for me to help others transform to greater health.  

My family relocated to Monterey, California, where I practiced and taught Medical Qigong in Monterey and the San Francisco Bay area.  As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I worked in private practice and as a Clinical Supervisor for Interim Inc.
