Summary

In my twenty plus years of gathering skills in the healing arts, I leveraged yoga and creative communication/expression to enhance wellness and community growth in the public schools and within the community of The Lotus Center. I fostered holistic health through yoga, dance, and my private practice of plant and energy based healing. With my developed skills in herbal medicine and holistic wellness in natural health settings, I am looking to transition into new field. With focus on personalized care, I am seeking to apply transferable skills in new and dynamic environments.
