Description

hello! - I last volunteered in Mangalore, India, volunteering with cacao processing, plants and animals. - In February and March of 2025, I volunteered with the Botanical Garden In Nevis, an island in the Carribean. Fall 2025, house, pet (chickens and cats) and plant (nursery)sat on the Big Island of Hawaii for a month. I worked a few hours a week at the local food hub, helping pack orders from the cooperative of farmers.

I have hosted over 600 guests in my home through Air BNB in Amherst MA, a college town. I had a 33-year career in health are sustainability. I am currently a practicing and teaching Kundalini Yoga practitioner, energy medicine practitioner (Reiki Master and Master of Shamanic Energy Medicine.) and writer. I released a healing memoir in 2023 and in December 2025 released an audio companion called "I can't. I am. I did. Lessons in Resilience."

I maintain a vegan diet, alcohol/drug free lifestyle and am on a spiritual path. I love adventure and am looking for new life experiences. I'm connected to the earth and want to learn how to live in alignment with my personal beliefs and for the best of our earth and all her inhabitants.

At my main home in Amherst, MA, I cook at our local survival center on Fridays, giving me experience in cooking for a crowd.

Workaway interests me because it allows me to see the world, meet new people and experience adventure, other cultures and people from around the world. My passions are nature, whales/dolphins/turtles, water, beach trash pick-up, healing, teaching yoga, hosting visitors, writing, kayaking, swimming, walking/hiking, holding sacred space and sacred ceremony, caring for plants and animals. I hope that the right match finds me!
