To live authentically, embodying body, heart, mind and soul with spirit, is a lifelong study and I love to learn! I have profound love and appreciation for Life, and its evolution. Nature brings me great joy and inspires me to express my love creatively. I enjoy being with and listening to nature, yoga, songwriting, writing, singing, up-cycling, designing, sewing, painting, dancing, playing with the family, wild-crafting and gardening. I love learning and am an eternal student looking through a lens of curiosity and wonder. I love doing this work because I know what it is like to feel disconnected from my core essence, hope for things to get better and feel the difference when they do. I also experience the benefits of good therapists and counsellors. I value Love and its attributes; patience, kindness, generosity, humbleness, courtesy, altruism, good-temperedness, guilelessness, sincerity, gratitude, endurance, forgiveness and courage. I work to cultivate these values in my life.
