Our Practitioners

I am a frequency holder, a vibration transformer, a veil tender and a
 womb weaver, helping people
 rediscover safety in their bodies,
 move into their Center, and
 root down so they can fly.

Childhood was spent galloping around the backyard neighing with friends pretending we were horses; balanced with time alone drawing…mostly horses. College did not take me to vet school or art school but instead, sent me wandering through a Bachelors degree in biology, followed by another in mechanical engineering. Both gave me opportunities to explore my fascination with movement in the human body and provide some bones for the work that awaited me. I spent many years walking the wilderness of unsatisfying work and relational transitions, feeling my way through the darkness, tossing poop onto the compost, turning it steadily and awaiting old stories to become nourishment for new life. In the meantime I gathered a few more tools including a Masters in Human Relations, and certifications in bodywork, qigong, and life coaching. This improved my ability to transform the compost and begin to spread a little fertilizer into my first efforts at a Garden. I learned that a Garden is not just the beauty of the harvest but it is the movement through dreaming, tilling, seeding, weeding, tending, harvesting, allowing it to rest, and then cycling through it all over again.

Today, I turn the compost and create a garden that is forever imperfect and cyclically tweaked…regularly refined with love and compassion. My soil is dark and rich with many mycelial connections. And, while I paint and collage and write and dance, my favorite art is that which we call "life"; that hugely messy process of bringing in more beauty, love and truth. I invite others into this process through qigong practice, qigong treatment, the occasional sharing of creative tools, and writing what inspires me. My bodywork certification is through Boulder College of Massage Therapy's 1000 hour program. I am certified as a Clinical Qigong Practitioner and Teacher through the National Qigong Association.  I continue to study with Damaris Jarboux and Mimi Kuo-Deemer, as well as other teachers and bodywork professionals.
