— Safety & Disclosure —
It is a great blessing of our times that some of us have access to all kinds of wonderful and powerful inner work from the safety of our own space and that connections and support can happen instantly across the globe.
We can honor our natural human capacity for spirituality and mystical experience and participate in the world—no longer an either/or choice (monastic or worldly).
As a practitioner who offers work over zoom, I hold the issue of safety and inner work in this context with care. While my work does not involve sacred medicines or psychedelics or any substances, expanded states of awareness may occur. I am inspired by Kylea Taylor's work addressing InnerEthics® in response to the transformational inner work experiences that have become more available in our times.
Any work that we do together would fall in the realm of “alternative” or “complementary” or “spiritual.” Also, I'd like to clarify that I am not a licensed mental health professional (such as a psychologist or psychiatrist) and medical, legal or financial advice is outside of the scope of what I am qualified to offer. If you have questions, please do ask, I will be putting together additional information (some in response to questions).

My path
I am, at times, asked about my path. The themes below share a bit from the layer of the explorations and studies.
Finding ways to be with my own unfolding and finding language, when possible, to articulate it is and was a part of my path. Being deeply present to the experiences of the people I work with and having language, when needed, to support the experience is also a part of my path.
Listing the meals (or sources and stops on my path) is simply not the same as even a picture of one delightful meal. In the months to come, my intent is to offer articles, videos and add curated links to resources for a few of these themes to bring through some of the fruits, nourishment and richness of the path.

Thank you for visiting
My life path, for over 25 years, has included a dedication to the inner journey and I hold deep respect for those who may feel called to do inner work—out of necessity or choice.
​
Toward the start of the pandemic, following an inner guidance to make an offering, a new chapter began in 2020—an online expression for my practice.
During the last few years, the blessing of working online with people around the world has been woven into my life; in addition to offering hundreds of one-on-one sessions (using zoom) I've also facilitated online group work.
​
Previously, I had a small professional practice, since 2003, offering mostly in person services at my own and shared healing studio spaces that evolved over time.
In June 2022, my website was updated to reflect my online services. There‘s more to come that is still being incubated. I look forward to the possibility and blessing of my work continuing to take form and be of service in the coming months, years and perhaps even decades ahead.

“When your eyes really see a rose or an anemone the whole wheeling universe tears up.” —Rumi
​
In my sessions, I hold sacred space for soul work, a space of deep relaxation to journey within. In the field that we co-create and experience, guidance and wisdom and other support may appear. Sometimes, we might use a specific modality to journey together. The experience can, at times, feel as if we are simultaneously conscious and awake and also in a dream or expanded non-ordinary state. Each person, each session, and each topic we explore is unique and we may work with different approaches and modalities.
​
“...every method is organic to a
particular situation,
and to a particular mind,
and to a particular [hu]man.” —Osho
“The shoe that fits one person pinches another;
there is no recipe for living that suits all....”
—Jung
My offering represents a personal synthesis (perennial wisdom as it comes through me—informed and, at times, colored by, shaped and structured by my life experience, teachings and perspectives I have studied or encountered along my path).
The space I hold includes and honors the mystical or direct experience and spiritual dimension even if we don't speak about it. You don't have to believe or not believe in something to do this work (it is a felt experience similar to our innate capacity for deeper breathing that occurs when we are at ease and the air feels clean). The inner journey or inner work is connected to and supports how we are and how we show up in the world—sometimes right away or as we integrate what has come up.
​
Personal background
Since 1984, the Pacific Northwest of the US (Seattle & Lake Chelan) has been my home. My childhood years, birth until age 18, were in South India. I've had occasion to experience a few other cultures, as well.
​
Although personal development, Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator® (through which I later discovered the work of CG Jung) and therapy were a part of my 20s, it wasn't until age 30 that a significant shift began. Looking back, this was the start of soul work becoming central. It was as if a thread from childhood—when drawing on spiritual support came naturally—had resurfaced.
In my early 30s, living close to the Jung Society in Seattle opened a flow of rich material (teachers, workshops, new ideas and ways to be in community) and also room to participate and contribute including serving as the newsletter editor. And although I don't have children, my dream life at that time included an inner child part of me that had come knocking. Shadow work, maintaining a dream journal, creativity as a form of inner work, Inner Child and Inner Critic work and so on were seeded during these years.
Two books ushered in the next phase—one was the translation of an esoteric Taoist meditation text for which CG Jung had written a commentary and the other was a Sacred Enneagram book (Facets of Unity) by AH Almaas, co-originator of the Diamond Approach. Both had a powerful effect when I first encountered them. One book brought awareness to breath and awakening the body and the other was the blessing of a transmission about (my) personality structure and non-dual states.
​
“The wound is the place where
the light enters you.” —Rumi
​​
From this point, I was guided on a healing journey in the two decades that followed (many workshops, the poetry of Rumi, Dances of Universal Peace, Holotropic Breathwork®, Family Constellations, work with many different practitioners/healers/facilitators, inner experiences, dreams and synchronicity, experiential study and certifications in several modalities). Serving others along the way and doing my own work as a new way to be birthed and rooted in me.
These last few years opened an online portal to connect with people around the globe (with travel being impossible). Unexpected access to a cornucopia of wonderful teachers and teachings along with my own work coming to fruition (through the blessing of serving clients over zoom from North America, the Middle East & Asia, Europe and Australia) has brought me here.
​
“It is not about who will win the war. It is about who can win the peace with dignity and mutual connection so we can create a better future for coming generations.”
—Ditte Marcher (Bodynamic)
​
This work is very dear to my heart. While my personal unfolding continues, I am blessed with a sense of deep support to serve others who are called to do this work.
​
“Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”
—Rumi
​
My work life includes a lengthy career in tech (I studied Mathematics at University) and a life chapter co-creating a “mom and pop” local eatery in this small lake town with my life partner.
​
Grateful for all this and more
-
the miracle of existence with its beauty, joy and wonderment (while holding with dignity hardship, suffering and brokenness)
-
receiving the gift of life and survival thanks to my parents, grandparents, extended family, ancestors and the collective
-
sharing this life with my beloved partner and our animal family on this land with its history, the spacious holding and rugged natural beauty and the blessing of garden bounty
-
for the many beings who are or have been a part of co-creating my experience of life and much gratitude for those whose path has, in some way, made this expression of my offering possible
