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.
