I was a radio talk show host and newswoman while working my way through school as a single parent. I enjoyed adventures in the Yucatan and survived an accident that resulted in a broken back and Near Death Experience.

I am rebuilding a private practice in Healing Modalities and am internationally licensed to deliver a human potential course in attention focus and belief management. I love doing that. I earned my doctorate in 1981 and have intermittently practiced, alternately with corporate work. I have been licensed since 1995 to deliver AVATAR®.It is very fulfilling to give others tools to empower them and heal their own lives.

My work ranged from stress reduction/pain management to massage, aromatherapy, natural first aide, herbs, homeopathy, intuitive counseling, and spirituality.

I was born in the mountains of south central PA. I am of Irish/German descent. I've lived in the southwest, mideast mostly, with jaunts to Mexico, Canada and Ireland thrown in. My favorite subjects in school were: communication, psychology,metaphysics and medicine.

When I was a child, I believed I was a sunbeam, a ray of pure light, a muse to tease the potential out of others, entertain them, and heal their hearts to bring about world peace. Seriously, as a little girl of 4, I had an awakening experience of being that. Just pure love and innocence. I sometimes pretended to be a teacher, but I was a natural born pacifist. Not the protesting type, more the dedicated to mankind's evolvement. Later, a near death experience reaffirmed that purpose. I contribute to the creation of an enlightened planetary civilization.
