Welcome! It is an honor to have you exploring this site.

Managing health is about taking responsibility. We should strive to be as healthy as possible, making wise choices, on a consistent, daily basis. I see the ultimate goal as one of wellness, not the expectation of complete absence of aging and dis-ease. In fact, we can see temporary illness or chronic issues as a gift. Time, genetics, the environment and gravity present their share of effects. It is through the body that we find peace, contentment. It offers the opportunity to surrender, meet challenges and become aware. In the process we learn to meet our body where it is and nudge it into new territory. Often, as we approach health with non-attachment to outcome, we can be pleasantly surprised at results and discoveries!

Our culture is blessed with the bounties of prosperity. The downside is a tendency to seek outside ourselves for nourishment. People residing within cities and those who rely upon every modern convenience are often disconnected with nature and this can extend to the relationship with their own physical form. Like many, I derive balance from experience with nature and find great treasures in environments unshaped by humans. Feelings and insights can be gained while watching a toad hop or frolicking in ocean waves or lying in a field of wild flowers or gazing at the stars nestled a dark sky or cooking a meal over an open fire or moving in strong wind & weather. I see the body as a portable nature experience, a landscape of sites, sounds and sensation to explore.

As Eckhart Tolle and other great teachers instruct, there is only life in the Now. The body and breath can be a very useful portal into the experience of presence. Nourishing touch through massage and shiatsu, the postures, practices and movements of yoga provide a structure for reconnection of the body and spirit. Each session and class is like a ceremony of re-connection.
