I was born and raised in Northern California and have called Kauai home for the last 10 years. A few years ago I returned to California and now reside in Rio Del Mar. I remain passionate about the beauty the islands hold; and embrace the loving aloha that is at the heart of all people everywhere.
My formal training includes a BA in Liberal Studies and Graduate Degree in Education from San Jose State University. After years of teaching I later went on to obtain my Massage Therapy License (both on Hawaii and California), Watsu Certification (Zen Shiatsu in water) and Ministry License with the Universal Life Church. A two year intensive study program at a Buddhist Retreat Center provided a deeper understanding of the path I found myself undertaking. This path has taken me to many locations throughout the world.
Decades of deep inquiry into the true nature of things has given me the motivation and inspiration to cultivate what I hold to be my offering to the world. Simple and direct, I speak and lead groups with an invitation to directly experience ourselves as we are. I happily bring this element in all my work and communion with others.
I am a Licensed Hawaiian Lomi Massage Therapist, California Certified Massage Therapist, Omni Faith Minister, Wedding Officiant, Transpersonal Ceremony Facilitator and Inspirational Teacher. I was a competitive triathlete and marathon runner for many years and now enjoy running, swimming and hiking as a meaningful way to connect to myself and to the natural beauty of the earth.
Every aspect of my work is devoted to this path of service. My wish is to bring this sincere offering to all those I meet. My invitation is to simply to recognize and love yourself as you truly are…..pure, whole and free.
“Love says “I am everything”. Wisdom says “I am nothing”.
Between the two, my life flows”.
