I began my career in 1977 as a psychotherapist, and was primarily informed by Jungian Transpersonal 
Psychology, Object Relations and family systems work. I also began studying various forms of bodywork and movement, such as yoga, Tai Chi, Authentic Movement, Continuum and Feldenkraise. I received my first massage license in 1983, and have a long history of studying the body.
Around the turn of the millennium, Mike and I re-located from the Pacific Northwest to the Chapel Hill area. Once here, I completed a three year program in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. Learning this work has been instrumental in my development. It’s a work that attunes to the intelligence residing in our watery inner world. I’ve come to know thru a felt sense the power, wisdom and “inherent and indestructible health” that resides within each of us. Doing this work, I can feel how we and the cosmos are inseparable.
Throughout my life, the earth and nature have been a deep love and source of fulfillment-a coming home. Having grown up in a beautiful rural area, much of my early life was spent tromping through the woods and streams, ice skating and sledding. I knew the earth was alive and deeply present, as were the stars, moon, wind and water.
I feel that my work, which has evolved over thirty years of experience and study, is well suited to our times. As a culture, we are so terribly disembodied and fragmented, speeding towards our own destruction unless we can really step into this change that is wanting to happen.
Integral Therapies addresses spiritual, mental, emotional and physical aspects of our beings. The work I do with myself and my clients is the same. It is to keep moving from this narrower, disconnected and constricted mental world to the vastness and sacredness of who we truly are. Our entry is to go very deeply and consciously into the felt sense of the body. In entrying deeply this vast, non-mental world, we encounter our authenticity and our interconnectedness with each other, and the world itself.
