"It’s easy to be present when life is pleasant and can be tough when times are challenging. NVC can guide us back to our body and what is most important to us in the here and now."


I specialize in untangling knots of pain, discovering the beauty locked inside, and facilitating a free flow of life energy and interconnection. Racism, addiction, and death have been my greatest teachers and often favorite topics for seminars and private coaching.


Early in my son’s 10-year journey with addiction, we were introduced to Nonviolent Communication (NVC). This supported transforming our relationship from shame and blame to love and acceptance. My capacity for saying “yes!” to life, exactly as it is, has been deeply cultivated by Nonviolent Communication and a life-long mindfulness practice.

My relationship with Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh has animated my work promoting peace, reconciliation, and social justice. I have pursued my aspirations with zeal, accumulating tens of thousands of hours of training all over the world in multiple modalities, including 30 years’ experience in the healing arts of acupuncture, shiatsu and East Asian medicine. The same principles apply in acupuncture as NVC as 12 steps and meditation. Bring presence and love to the knots of pain, one breath at a time.
