During most of my life, I struggled, suffered, obsessed, over-achieved, under-achieved, and endured. My life experiences
taught me not to trust other people (even those I loved or thought I loved). Because of this, I believed that if I worked hard
enough and long enough, "they" wouldn't hurt me anymore and my life would take a turn for the better. I coped with decades of
acute and long-lasting depression, chronic physical pain, and illness. I never got a handle on the whole idea of having fun.
Experiences of contentment, joy, pleasure, delight, intimacy, and passion remained vague
longings waiting to be filled. I felt I was meant to do something, I just didn't know what the
heck it was. I often heard myself say (sometimes out loud), "I want to go home." It didn't
matter where I was. I could be in my own living room, yet still would have a deep longing to
"go home." I simply did not know where I fit in the world.
Today, I am happy, content, blissfully in love, and filled with joy. What happened? Well,
metaphorically speaking, I got the rug pulled out from beneath my feet. I came to understand
that I was experiencing the world through a series of veils and assumptions that simply were
not true or accurate. I spent many years unraveling the tapestry of my life. I pulled out each
thread, examined it, and decided whether or not I wanted that element to be a part my life anymore.
Those threads that got a thumbs-up were returned to my tapestry on my own terms. Eventually, I created a life I love and
developed the "muscles" required to live it. I came home to myself. I remembered who I am. I reclaimed my power.
Of course, this didn't happen overnight and it wasn't easy. My healing process involved a progression of practitioners and
experiences that created and built upon what had come before. I was guided by an inner compass that drove me forward and
out of the darkness, pain, and despair. I worked with many gifted healers and counselors, both main stream and alternative
practitioners.
That inner compass also guided my education and experiences. I studied psychology, energy healing, psychic development,
meditation, visualization, affirmations, past life regression, emotional body clearing, massage, and flower essences. I worked
with people who had life-threatening and chronic illnesses and their families. I worked with men and women who had
experienced sexual abuse and rape. I worked as an organizational consultant, group facilitator, teacher, trainer, public
speaker, and mentor.
I also learned as much as I could about Machalle Small Wright's work at the Perelandra Center for Nature Research and
incorporated her knowledge and processes for being in partnership with nature into my life and work. I accepted my abilities
as an intuitive and conscious channel. I opened to the information and learnings from my spirit guides, teachers, and
guardians of the Akashic Records. I use those skills to obtain information and advice for myself and my clients.
I moved from Baltimore, MD, to Santa Fe, NM, in the spring of 1998. That year I began a journey of study with a group of
energies called “The Guys,” channeled through Ava Brenner in Santa Fe. "The Guys" taught me much of information and
concepts contained in the "Running Your Life" program. I would not be who I am today without their wise counsel, tough love,
and down-to-earth advice.
In 2009, my husband and I relocated to the beautiful mountains of Asheville, NC. Both of our families are from the southeast
and we enjoy being close enough to visit them without having to fly.
The culmination of my experiences and learnings became the "Running Your Life" program. I have written a handbook that
offers an overview of this information. I am currently writing a book called "Who's Running Your Life?" that goes into depth
about my experiences along this path. It also contains a road-map to help others navigate their own journey.
Well, that's "About Me." In case you really don't have anything better to do right now, you can read more about my
background, passions, and follies.
