Background

I spent 15 years in the service industry primarily in New York City attempting to become a writer and artist. As a playwright and poet I interacted regulary with classic myth and history while my visual work attmepted to augment my need to link with the past  throough installation and experiemental cartography. And while I still pluck away at poetry and the arts my passion has become wellness. Never straying too far from the eclectic perspective I beleive in creative approches to wellness over those that exclude the dynamic from the equation. My ideologies and interest are thus more typically alligned with Traditional Medicine Systems than modern Western while my modalities reflect the balance that only a thoroughly modern approcah could offer. I completed the 800 hour Massage Therapist program in March of 2011 with a 4.0 GPA and was licensed shortly thereafter. I am currently chipping away at my pre-medicla pre-requisites as well as finishing a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training Program at The Movement Center. My private practice is Located In the NW area of Portland, OR and I am also emloyed at Aequis Retreat and Spa. I have practiced and studied Astrology for the last 20 years. I am an Olympic Distance Triathlete. I am a collector of rocks and minerals and a lover of aromatherapy.
