GET TO KNOW ME

I believe that true self-empowerment and contentment start with healing from the inside out.

My journey—from the African Savannah to the far reaches of the world—is a testament to resilience and self-discovery. Raised by American Lutheran missionaries in East Africa, I faced early life traumas, including major surgery, abandonment in boarding school, and both physical and sexual abuse. These experiences left me grappling with extreme loneliness, depression, and a profound sense of helplessness that followed me through much of my life. These experiences propelled me onto a path of deep inner healing.

Along the way, I discovered my gifts as an empath—an ability to deeply connect with others’ emotions and energies. This sensitivity not only fueled my personal healing journey but also inspired me to learn how to help others heal. For over 40 years, I’ve dedicated myself to personal and spiritual development, studying with great teachers beginning in the early 80's with Wayne Dyer's "Secrets of the Universe" and "Gifts from Eykis" on cassette tape with Nightengale Conant Corporation! Others are Bradley Nelson, Robert Gilbert, Credo Mutwa, Malidoma Patrice Somé, Sadhguru, Ananda Mayi Ma, John Bradshaw, Osho, Og Mandino, Napoleon Hill, Joe Dispenza, Sue Morter, Richard Rudd, Barry Goldstein, Matías De Stefano, Gabor Maté, Peter Levine, and many others. My passion lies in turning my own challenges into strengths and empowering others to do the same—helping them heal on all levels: body, mind, and spirit.

My life’s journey has brought invaluable lessons in growth and resilience, from living in five countries and moving over 50 times to rebuilding Maverick, a 50-foot sunken fishing boat, navigating harrowing sea adventures, and ultimately re-creating my life after a 26-year marriage ended in 2017. While serving in the USAF, I attended night school for seven years to earn my Bachelor's and Master’s degrees, driven by a deep commitment to learning and personal growth. A lifelong learner and seeker, I’ve studied with great spiritual and personal development leaders, drawing strength from my connection with nature and embracing my empathic gifts.

Now, on a 35-acre nature retreat in Southern Oregon, I offer transformative healing retreats and treatments, both online and in person. These include Breath Coaching, Esogetic Medicine, Chi Nei Tsang, and much more—each designed to guide you toward profound healing and growth.

Gunk energy creates physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalances that can hold you back from realizing your full potential.

My mission is to walk alongside you, helping you clear and rebalance your energy, transforming trauma into strength, addressing the roots of your struggles, and embrace your fullest self.  

I am here to help you cultivate inner peace, reclaim your personal power, and blossom into a renewed life.
