Since 1993, I’ve used my creative skills as a bodyworker, actress, and writer all around the US and destinations dotting the globe.
After practicing conventional massage since 1993, I began learning Chi Nei Tsang in 2008 from master teacher Gilles Marin and went on to fulfill Teacher Level status from the Chi Nei Tsang/TaoTouch Institute in Berkeley, CA.
With Chi Nei Tsang I was fortunate to stumble inwards and find my own belly. The last thing I thought I could do was leave behind the generational shame and rage that I believed was me, but, when I found my own belly button, I found the entrance to my core, where I found I was so much more than what I had supposed myself to be.
Journeying to the core goes ever deeper. In September of 2023, the trip lead me to the counseling approach developed and taught by Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur, Compassionate Inquiry. Through CI I found the wisdom and grace of compassion for the child I was unconsciously blaming for the wrongs in my life. Bullseye! Overt compassion for the child that grew into the adult me was precisely the key I had been missing. My life became more a testament to love than to pain thanks to facing and questioning the beliefs I've held about myself and life. My love of life grows with each passing year as I get better at feeling rather than trying to feel better.
The combination of Compassionate Inquiry and becoming a certified Resilience and Wellness Coach through Symbiosis Coaching gave me the chance to offer support to others who want to face themselves honestly and go gently deeper into their own lives with therapeutic coaching anywhere in the world, not just to people who can meet in person to do a hands-on session.
I love flow in whatever form it takes, be it in a CNT or coaching session, meditation, hiking, tango, travel adventures, acting, and, yes, performing burlesque. Having Colorado as my heart's home instilled a deep reverence for nature in me, and that love continues to nurture me wherever I am on the planet.
