Teacher Statement

I am an artist, designer, and healer, not necessarily in that order. For many years I told people I was a developer and a designer “oh and by the way, I am an artist.” It’s how I saw myself. I don’t know exactly when my viewpoint changed. I’m still an active developer & designer, but now I know that I’m an artist and a healer. I find that my thinking, my reading, my experimentation, my exploration is all directed toward not only better art and design, but a means for me to evolve artistically and spiritually. It is my honor to share my Art, my various yoga reiki and breath work disciplines, as well as my intuitive healing gifts with others. My intention is to be of service to others and create a bridge between all modalities of the creative, spiritual and healing arts. Working as a change agent to help people develop their soul and connect to spirit is now the kind of “development work” I cherish. Regardless of what I “create” – where I teach or how I utilize the healing arts, the end result — for me — is most certainly about the spiritual connection to the process of sharing and healing.
