About Me

Om Namah Shivaya! I am about being in service to humanity and bringing more light to the Earth. I am a Healer/Bodyworker/Breathworker and much of my day is spent as a Hospice Massage Therapist/Healing Touch Practitioner-being present with humans as they go through the dying process. I also get to be present as a Doula, when babies are being born. Music, for me, is not only the language of the heart...it is a way of life. I live and breathe inside music...listening, playing,arranging,and studying...always learning something new and freeing my spirit. I believe music has the power to heal ourselves and to heal the planet. Music is synonomous with my soul. Songwriting is the way through to the godhead for me,it helps me to identify the inner world of humanity. I am here to lead sing alongs. Humans are meant to raise up their voices in song. I will do my part to make this happen. Everyone can sing along. It is no longer time to preach to the choir, it's time for the choir to stand up and sing. All this said, I will buy land in Colorado in the next couple of years to manifest a Holistic Healing Arts Center that houses a recording studio,visual arts center, amphitheater, indoor theater, large healing center, yoga studio, interfaith temple, birthing center, and a log house with a stone fireplace for my partner and our children. (All of this working with recyclable materials and renewable energy.) A Renaissance Artist's community. It is time on this planet for everyone to do their part. It is time to be full of light. It is time to release fear. It is time to lift each other up. It is time to release judgment. It is time for love. Now is the Time.P In Truth, Simplicity and Love. Speak your truth, live simply, and love every moment and every creature to the best of your ability. Chant Om Namah Shivaya. Be in Service to Humanity. Be Grateful and Be Gracious.
