I began meditating in 1972. My early experiences with meditation occurred spontaneously – without effort, instruction, or forethought. Rather they awoke in my body through energy and became an integral part of my life in North American wilderness of British Columbia. As I grew in energetic sensitivity and focus, I actively sought a spiritual education. I chose to study with the Arica Institute in Vancouver, B.C. and New York. The work of Arica was based primarily on Buddhist and Eastern practices. I became an assistant teacher with them in 1975. While teaching with Arica, I studied with a group of talented psychic healers who were affiliated with Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. and the Science of Mind Church. I received extensive psychic and esoteric training from this group. |

I worked in private practice for several years, before founding a healing school in Boulder, Colorado, in 1984. The Transformational Healing Institute served the community by creating a forum for the study of energy healing. Its curriculum included long-term courses in meditation, energetic and psychic self-healing, and karma work. THI also offered practitioner certification programs. These trainings centered on developing proficiency in specific healing techniques, such as the Psychic Cord Release ProcessSM and the Past Life Resolution ProcessSM, as well as a number of other transformational practices. I directed the Institute and taught its courses for seven years. After passing the school onto two of its teachers, I continued in private practice in Washington State. I also taught continuing massage education courses and conducted private and group mentorship programs on Whidbey Island and in Seattle.
Additionally, I have practiced Jin Shin Jyutsu since 1991 and have studied both family and general mediation and conflict resolution. I integrate Jin Shin and mediation into my private sessions, as both methodologies offer a wellspring of effective healing tools..
I currently live on Whidbey Island in Washington State. I travel between both coasts – mostly concentrating my private practice and mentorship programs in the Seattle and Philadelphia areas. Click here to set up a workshop or training in your area.
