Passages

I cherish my work as a Wellness Practitioner, an Educator, and a Writer
...on the one hand in solitude and sanctuary, utilizing less words, more movement, and attention to place,
...and on the other hand front and center, offering insights as an elder whose lived experience cherishes how each new moment presents possibilities we have yet to discover.
I've come to realize the common thread in these callings is my capacity to serve as a conduit between the converging and emergent.
