My passion is helping people, animals, and our mother earth. My bliss is seeing clients getting healthier, more functional, and happier with a whole plant food diet and healthy lifestyle, less animals killed for food, and healing of our environment. When I work with a client, I enter into a sacred trust with that client which includes showing up, confidentiality, non-judgement, holding space, and active compassionate listening. I have decades of experience doing this educating people about food as medicine approach to healing the significant illnesses and conditions plaguing our world, 40 years experience doing this with my massage clients, 15 years with my domestic violence survivor clients, and 30 years with the dancers I lead when teaching Ahimsa Sacred Circle Dance.
