In movement, I have always found a depth of experience that makes sense to me. It is my language, my way. Movement is the primary lens through which I orient and live in the world. Early on I found dancing, particularly Improvisation, to be fabulously liberating and provocative. While attending the University of Maryland and completing my BA in Dance, Kinesiology and Poetry, I was fortunate to meet Miriam Rosen in 1980 and dance in her improvisation company for almost a decade. Performing improvisation came naturally to me and helped me to develop a strong sense of my own movement language and the joy of exploration and discovery.

I completed many in-depth studies in BodyMind Centering, Authentic Movement, Hakomi Body Centered Psychotherapy and Yoga.  I met Continuum and Emilie Conrad in 2003. Emilie Conrad was my mentor and authorized me to teach Continuum in 2007. I also experienced many in-depth trainings with Susan Harper from 2003-2019. I have had the privilege to host and learn from several of my gifted Continuum colleagues. I participated as a founding member of the CTA and am a Master Somatic Movement Educator and  member of ISMETA.

I have created and cultivated on-going inquiries such as: Alchemy of Eros, Primordial Depths Retreat and We Are the Stars. I continue to offer a wide variety of classes, both in-person and online.

Currently, I live and teach in Floyd County, Virginia in the Appalachian Mountains. I offer in-person classes and retreats, online class series and mentoring sessions.
