I enjoy finding ways to build bridges between mind-body-heart in ways that resonate with the unique beliefs, needs and desires of the individual or group. I am a mother of three awesome humans, and I love to spend my time with my family exploring the outdoors and being in nature as much as possible. Getting my feet into flowing water, and especially getting under waterfalls are my favorite ways to replenish and refuel!
