I am an artist, author and educator.

Everything I teach and do is filtered through a deep connection to the energetic, spiritual aspects of human experience.

New Online Class Beginning September 30th

Enrollment open!

 Your classes are the most straight forward, linear, honest and worth every penny spent.

I thank you so much for your approach to teaching.

Sally N.

Your class has been such a pleasure to attend, thanks in part to your exceptional teaching abilities.

Even when you need to provide redirection or feedback, you have a remarkable talent for doing so in a constructive, uplifting manner that never feels critical or discouraging. So...thank you!
