My own passion for growth has been shared, life long, in various forms of “people work” (with the aging, the mentally disturbed, European merchant seamen, adults interested in spiritual growth, college students, as well as retreatants and workshop participants).

The fruits of a varied (and long, now) life journey include, concretely, a doctorate in Comparative Spiritualities that I earned in my 40’s. This led to both teaching and writing, and has in-formed my Life Coaching, too. I became a Certified Life Coach in 1999, with the Institute for Life Coach Training. I’m also a Certified Creativity Coach and offer expertise in coaching toward life purpose and spirituality. I worked at a retreat house for some five years and have facilitated workshops and seminars around the country, all in personal and spiritual growth.

I have been a licensed massage therapist, with additional training in CranioSacral Therapy by the Upledger Institute. I offer the Cranial work at Mindful Destinations.
