I'm currently bringing all of my gifts together by offering intuitive consultations using Goddess & Angel cards and other divination decks. I combine my training and practice in meditation and yoga along with deep listening and intuitive guidance. I can offer guidance on following ones Heart Dream, the reason we came here this lifetime. That's what I did! I left a career in academia (tenured), to follow my heart dream of helping and nourishing others to risk living life fully and funly! Namaste (the Divine within me, honors the Divine within you.) CONTACT send e-mail

YOGA

I am a Kripalu Yoga certified teacher of 15 years with additional training in Ashtanga yoga from David Swenson. While in living in NYC, I regularly took classes with Dharma Mittra (a truly divinely inspired teacher,) and Alan Finger. For three years, I ran Sattva Yoga & Wellness, a small studio in midtown Manhattan. During that time I was featured in several magazines, including Self, Yoga Journal and Essence. I was a board member of the New York Yoga Teachers Association, and taught at the Graduate Center of City University of N.Y, N.Y.U, NY Sports Clubs, and privately. My video for beginners--Start with Yoga was sold by a division of Book-of-the Month Club/Doubleday. I studied macrobiotics and holistic health at Gulliver’s Living and Learning Center (now called the Institute for Integrative Nutrition) in NYC, which is where I was first introduced to shiatsu.

MASSAGE

Completed a comprehensive 1,000 hour massage therapy program at the Onondaga School of Therapeutic Massage, in 2007. This complements my additional training in shiatsu from the International School of Shiatsu, in Doylestown, PA. My office is in Greenfield, MA, for more shiatsu info, client testimonials and how to make an appointment.

MEDITATION

I've graduated the 18 month, Mindfulness Yoga and Meditation Training program at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in California. I began meditation in the early 90's. Since 2001, I have engaged in over five months of intensive silent, residential meditation programs. Some of my Western teachers include Myoshin Kelley and Joseph Goldstein. I also have practiced under the guidance of Chanmay Sayadaw and Sayadaw U Pandita, for four and six weeks respectively, both are highly respected Burmese monks and meditation masters. Most of this practice takes place at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, MA.
My last year working in an academic setting, I served as the Wellness Coordinator at a community college. I designed and taught yoga and stress management workshops for faculty, staff and students to overwhelmingly positive feedback.
