Description
My life is motivated by creativity and by helping people reconnect—with themselves, with one another, and with the land. As a child, my life was saved during a war by the courageous kindness of people who chose to take me in. They taught me that when you are given a gift, the best way to honor it is to share it with others. That teaching has guided my whole life.
I am a Medicine Singer, visionary artist, and bestselling author (Loving Bravely: A Memoir). For over 22 years I have run my own healing arts and education practice, supporting thousands of people through Craniosacral Therapy, Singing Medicine, teaching, and creative community gatherings.
My work blends science and creativity—I have training in trauma resolution, the neurobiology of connection, and compassion-based healing from Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education.
Alongside my service to people’s health, I have a strong background in ecological restoration. For 7 years I managed a Native Plant Nursery that grew over 80,000 plants annually for wetland and watershed restoration projects. This gave me hands-on experience in growing, planting, and caring for ecosystems with both precision and devotion.
What brings me happiness is the quiet of nature, partner dance, shared laughter, and community celebration. I thrive in fragrance-free environments where the air is clean, and I love being part of projects where creativity, land, and community come together.
I’m excited to offer my skills in song, art, listening, and land stewardship, while also learning from the people and places I serve.Interests
