With nearly 50 years of experience in holistic health and the healing arts, I work with women ready to embrace what's aligned and fulfilling on the other side of old, outworn thoughts, beliefs, and patterns that hold them back.

"I will not rescue you for you are not powerless.
I will not fix you for you are not broken.
I will not heal youfor I see you in your wholeness.
I will walk with you through your darkness as you remember your light."

That's a photo of me when I lived on Maui in the early 90's. I led women's circles back then and introduced Holistic Menopause in 2004. I didn't know how to deal with the strange symptoms I was experiencing; mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. And I thought other women must be feeling the same.
I noticed that some aspects of perimenopause and these new feelings were actually positive. And I realized that the natural life transition of menopause is truly a time of not only profound change, but it's also an opportunity for enhanced health, happiness, and a tremendous amount of personal growth.
I started a Yahoo group, wrote a 100-page e-book, and led my first virtual retreat in 2005, called "The Online Retreat." For the next 20 years, I worked with women near and far, developing personalized, holistic programs to support their specific needs and goals as they navigated the natural life transition of menopause.
The roots of my work with women were formed when I was twelve, and sex ed class was required in school. I found myself in absolute awe of the female body, its rhythms, wisdom, cycles, and the miracle of birth.
I would come home from school, gather the younger girls in my neighborhood under a tree in our yard, and eagerly share everything I learned that day. As I reflect, I realize I've continued a version of that in various forms my entire adult life.
Growing up in progressive Eugene, OR, exposed me to alternative wellness practices and holistic remedies for natural healing. As a teenager, I studied herbal medicine and started making my own medicinal teas and chemical-free bodycare products.
Fascinated with the body/mind connection, I studied and was certified in modalities that deepened my understanding of just how powerful the mind, body, and spirit connection really is. I help my clients tap into that personal power.
