My personal mission is to help people to live full, happy, and self-expressed lives. After a career in university teaching and the performing arts, now I teach mindfulness-based practices that support lasting lifestyle changes for vital health and well-being. I teach the Feldenkrais Method of movement education and offer whole-foods, plant-based lifestyle education.

My life’s journey is a patchwork quilt of many passions, professions, and people. I used to envy those who had one focused path or talent. Then one day, I realized that I love my diversely erratic, brilliantly colorful existence! My gifts are numerous and my joys are limitless. My universe is capable of expanding to encompass all of them. Some of my passions are dancing, mommyhood, philanthropy, and friendship.

What I love more than anything is to see the face of a resistant teen transform from shutdown to curious. It is a different experience for every kid but each time it is a remarkable experience for me. There is an authentic experience of connection which is a special moment when we can really see each other.

I wake up every morning with the phrase, “every person counts” in my mind. Every person deserves a chance and an opportunity. Our work with women artisans in Kenya, Thailand, and India motivates me to get up, spread awareness, raise funds, and support them in every way I can, because every person counts.
