Reflecting on the past 70 years, I can clearly see that my journey has been a wonderfully eclectic mix of experiences and knowledge, leading to my own brand of wisdom. Each phase of my life has contributed to a rich tapestry of insights, shaped by diverse encounters, a thirst for self-awareness, and personal growth. This unique approach has not only broadened my perspective but has led me to search for the deeper truths in life.

​

​My background in the Holistic Healing Arts began when I was 21 due to 3 major surgeries that left me depleted and exhausted. I was referred to Kushi Institute in Beckett, Massachusetts, went there immediately and began my journey of self care and self healing.

I learned how to cook and prepare whole foods utilizing the Macrobiotic system. Macrobiotics was originally founded by George Ohsawa a Japanese philosopher, who cured himself of tuberculosis by eating a simple healthy diet and living in harmony with nature.

The objective was to nourish the body, balance and harmonize one's diet according to the season, genetic history, and lifestyle.

At that time, many terminally ill cancer patients were told by the medical profession that there was no hope and they were going to die. Out of desperation, they went to the Kushi Institute and by following their natural protocol, experienced a full recovery.

I attended classes and worked with cancer patients daily for one year. Seeing them recover by eating nutrient-rich whole foods, fasting, juicing, massage, acupuncture, walking, and socializing made a profound change on how I viewed the world, and my perception of reality. 

I realized that food is medicine and that Mother Earth designed our eco system with a precise intelligence so that all living things could be healthy and thrive. I refer to this as living by the Natural Laws. Once I understood the power of food and how it affects our chemistry, I became passionate about teaching Macrobiotic cooking. I witnessed many people overcome their health challenges and move forward to live vibrantly healthy, happy lives. Myself included.   

Macrobiotics inspired me to study more deeply in the natural healing arts. Homeopathy, acupuncture, energy medicine, fasting, and meditation, were the turning point and gateway of living my life in alignment with the natural laws.

​

I was on a quest to learn more, so I left the Kushi Institute and went to the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, where I enrolled to become a certified Yoga Instructor and Danskinetic Instructor.

Studying yoga and dance opened my higher spiritual centers, which activated my intuition, telepathy, empathy, and compassion.

At Kripalu, I recognized the importance of clearing the trauma from my past. I understood that clearing my past held the keys to my future. I sought out healers and masters guiding me to become more balanced in my body, mind and spirit. My search for balanced wellness led me to 30 years of studying many of the natural healing arts. I was avidly drawn to energy medicine, herbs, homeopathy, and cooking whole, organic foods. 

I studied with a multitude of mentors and masters. Starting with a Seer, then energy healers, acupuncturists, 

a Chi Gong master, Somatics, Toning, Animal Communicators, Augury, Earth Feng Shui (geomancy),
