_I bring spirit and nature to everything I do - including my work.
Perhaps it is my Celtic roots. Nothing refreshes me like a hike
in the woods or a night under the star-filled sky.
I treasure visits from animals in the wild as a personal blessing. 

The natural rhythms of ocean waves, flowing rivers, still ponds,
and chaotic thunder storms, reflect so beautifully the ebb and flow
of our lives. I seek to bring the spirit of all of this into the warm and safe embrace of my studio at True Self Wellness Center.
I hope to welcome you soon.

_"May you recognize in your life the presence, power, and light of your soul.

May you realize that you are never alone,
    that your soul in its brightness and belonging connects you
    intimately with the rhythm of the universe.

May you have respect for your own individuality and difference.

May you realize that the shape of your soul is unique, that
    you have a special destiny here,
that behind the facade of your life there is something
    beautiful, good, and eternal happening.

May your learn to see yourself with  the same delight, pride,
    and expectation with which God sees you in every moment."
