“ How am I to train the Power in me? ”
Chuang Tzu — The Inner Chapters
For the past twenty years, I’ve offered mentorship and guidance to youth and adults.
The inner revolution is my focus - personally and professionally.
My passion rests within the process of transformation and growth.
My joy dwells in reclaiming the power of our imagination.
My work resides in subtle movements of alchemizing beauty and suffering into healing and belonging.
