From a very young age, (4-5 years old,) I wanted to experience all that life has for me. Everything from my family to nature to school inspired me and motivated me to ask deeper questions. These deeper questions led me to find out that all our happiness and success is within us, we just have to discover it and surrender to it unconditionally and proactively. This can be easily said, but not always easily done, we are such complicated creatures and happiness alludes us as we chase it!As I grew I wanted to experience even deeper love and passion and joy.

First I worked with the poor but eventually this desire led me to join a group of Carmelite monastic nuns (of the catholic tradition). We lived in North Dakota, eating primarily what we grew ourselves, spending hours in meditation and learning about ourselves, about Spirit and about living in harmony with the world. You would be very surprised at what you learn about yourself when silence, without distraction, is all you have!

 

 

From 1997-2001 I became the general contractor of a huge project of building a new monastery in Texas. During this experience, hundreds of great people drew together to give of their time and resources...as more and more shared their stories with me it became clear that the time had come to work with others, to be some kind of instrument and companion that they could find deep happiness as well.I left in June of 2001. Gratefully awarded a scholarship, I continued my formation at the Washington Theological Union in Wash. D.C. I also served as chaplain at Georgetown University during that time.

                                                                                                                                                                                                

 

 Since then I have worked as part of a ministry team for three years at a church, composes and led over 300 workshops with over 10,000 attendees in the past couple years, taught ongoing meditation classes for three years, guided many individuals in private sessions, offered keynote talks and created a county-wide festival called Celebrating Wellness Fest which is entering its third year.

I would love to assist you or your group in your endeavors to live empowered, peace-filled lives! We are all meant to be healers, to be the best that we can be, to live in harmony, and to explore with playfulness this thing we called life. I am so grateful to be part of that universal calling.
