I first learned how to meditate while just a teen. It was a profound experience and it taught me how to sit still and go within. My understanding of subtle energies deepened further a few years later when I began working with pregnant women first as a labor coach and later as a lay midwife. I spent hours with women in labor observing their energy shifts. As a midwife, I learned the most valuable skill set that I would continue to use in every situation thereafter: attention, patience, faith, intuition, courage, and appreciation.
I pursued my academic studies after the birth of my second child and went on to earn a B.A. in Urban Studies & Planning from the University of California San Diego (UCSD); an M.A. in Counseling Education from San Diego State University; and an M.F.A. in Visual Arts from UCSD. Somewhere in my years of academic study and raising a family, I also learned Re-Evaluation Co-Counseling and used it on a peer basis over many years. Eventually, when I finished my studies, I had moved from the health field into the arts as both an arts administrator and videographer.
In 1999 I was awarded a two-year graduate research fellowship. During those two years of 2000 and 2001, while I was busily engaged in my artistic research, I once again became interested in "subtle energies".
This interest snuck up on me but became enlivened as a backdrop to everything else in my life: my research, my relationships, and my personal spiritual inquiry. I began to study the metaphysics of energy with the same sense of dedication and discipline that I had applied to my formal education.
I became a Reiki Master practitioner and joined a group of volunteers that provided Reiki sessions to patients with cancer at Sharp's Memorial Hospital. I was ordained as a Spiritual Minister and certified as an Intuitive Reader through the Order of the Ascended Rose (the rose is a symbol of consciousness). In 1997 I began training with a wondrous Toltec spiritual healer, Madre Sarita which led to a full apprenticeship with her in which I assisted her when she saw clients. Words cannot begin to describe the importance for me of working with such an empowered woman. Another pivotal spiritual experience in my life was attending dharma talks at Deer Park Monastery for several years where I learned mindfulness practice from the great Buddhist Zen Master, Thich Nhat Hanh.
Over time I have learned a great deal about the human energy system and our elegant system of interdepence. The tools of my trade of "energy medicine" (aka: "energy psychology") have given me great resiliency and helped me to enjoy life and its magical beauty in ways that I never could before. These are the things I wish to share with clients through the sessions I offer.
