My belief is that the human organism is a living energetic system existing within and in relationship to, an energetic universe where everything is alive with its own unique vibration and where energy is being emitted and received-where we are impacting and being impacted upon-by all other energy sources in our midst or at an intentioned distance. It is a universe where everyone we come in contact with-whether we touch them or not-has an effect on us in a little different way, because what they are energetically emitting issues from their subjective emotional state, just as what we are emitting comes from ours-and these energy emissions can be consciously moderated.

I have been studying-and utilizing-forms of what is considered to be Energy medicine for almost 30 years-from meditation and yoga, to parapsychology and psychotherapy, to various forms of bodywork, to shamanism, homeopathy, herbology, martial arts, and acupuncture. As a result of gaining an understanding of the impact that energy can have on another, I teach courses as it pertains specifically to burnout prevention, empowerment, and self-care.

My mission is, simply put, to unite, empower, affirm, and expand. With my writings and courses I offer the opportunity to facilitate the unification of other, like-minded individuals, to affirm their inner knowing, empower them in their lives, and expand their vision of themselves and how they walk in the world.

Moving through the world with passion, clear vision, authenticity, and integrity can positively affect all life around us. Thus, on a fundamental level, my purpose is to offer encouragement to “look at the bigger picture,” to “re-member” our true selves, and to learn to listen, to feel, and to trust. Like a stone thrown into a still pond, the effects can ripple out, supporting others to learn for themselves what will provide them with wholeness and balance, keep their sparks lit, and walk in relationship with all.

I have been told and firmly believe that we, as a people, currently stand at a crossroads in time and space on this earthwalk—politically, economically, socially, environmentally and spiritually. Great changes are on the horizon and how we prepare for and face them now will deeply affect us all in the days to come. Some of these events have been shown to me and some are not yet for me to know. However, what I do know is that our children matter, our elders matter, our ancestral and tribal lineages matter, and that we all must work as a community to sustain each other and our Mother planet. By becoming more of who we truly are, we can give ourselves the opportunity to stand as beacons for others, role models for those whose lives we touch and, regardless of the format upon which we give, to become true agents of change. It is time for us to circle back to the past and bring forth its wisdom into the present in order to create the future. It is the only way we will survive.
