My Journey

...began in my late 20's, early one day on the beach in California... in one swift, life-shattering, life-affirming moment. The person I thought I was, collided with the person I was to become.  That day I awoke to a deeper truth as the foundation of my reality began to dissolve. I was shaken up, confused, alone AND the energy around my heart felt alive and expansive. I was unable to trust the constructs of my mind; the self I knew.  I had no idea who I really was and what laid before me was entirely unknown.  I had no idea that my life was about to unravel…like the caterpillar.

The moments of awakening initiated a challenging period in my life, something deep and brilliant was stirring within me. I knew life was greater than the pain and I was about to embark on a profound, life-changing journey with no guide or teacher to show me the way.   I tuned into myself for answers to the question: Who am I?

​The Answer

...was laying in a field of my dysfunctional and destructive patterns.  I began unraveling and embracing the wounded, shadow parts of myself—the areas I kept hidden from the unique, exquisitely special being I truly was. I realized the source of my suffering was a by-product of not accepting all of who I was….. colluding with the false belief structure I had created to protect myself. 

So, with dedication and determination, I began a journey of discovery and found the way to healing my broken self. The path was a myriad of sweat, tears, and grace. During this process, I found myself at the temple door of my own heart. Peace, love, contentment, creativity, and expansion started to emerge and my energy was strong, like a sunflower reaching for the sun. After years of weeding through layers of ideas, beliefs, and societal conditioning (LOL)  I learned the truth of who I was.  Eventually, I came to clarity and stillness, albeit muddled by occasional haze. I strive to live life fervently with love, harmonious communication, passion, and JOY!!! 

 It is from this place of clear understanding that I am able to guide and support others in healing their relationship with self by unraveling their story of pain and suffering, allowing the true beauty of self-knowing and acceptance to shine through. I know from my own experiences that this is accessible to everyone. It is your birthright to be happy and free. ...

We shall meet here on the path home

My Joy

I feel so blessed to be here in this time of creation!

I have raised two amazing, grown young men who fill my life with love, reverence and admiration. This last year and a half has made me a nana as both my boys have had their first sons. I am beyond, beyond in love!!

I spend most of my time playing in the mountains of Victor, Idaho.  My soul is most nourished when I am running the trails, mountain biking, paddle boarding down the river, skiing fresh snow or simply watching the sunset dance on Aspen leaves.  I find my source in these Teton mountains.
