My personal journey began with the study of astrology in 1975. I was fortunate in being mentored and led in very positive directions, including the use of Tarot as a system both for divination and for understanding the archetypal journey of enlightenment.

In 1999, I was privileged to study with Jeffrey Wolf Green, an extraordinary man and the founder of the school of Evolutionary Astrology. His work is the perfect complement to my interest in astrology as a tool for counseling and informed decision making based on the blueprint that the Soul has chosen for this lifetime. In astral essence, all charts are good and all experience an opportunity for growth and clarity.

From 1979 to 1984, I was a student at the Actualism School of Lightwork Meditation, where I began to understand the profound connection between mind and body. I received bodywork as part of the meditation training and this led to another mentor, who encouraged me to attend the Swedish Institute of Massage and become a licensed massage therapist . During this time, I became a certified Bach Flower practitioner (through Ellon Bach and Eric Love) and began exploring the use of these wonderful, gentle vibratory tinctures to shift negative states of consciousness and re-establish connection to the Higher Self.

In 1985, a colleague treated me to an Aromatherapy Massage. The effects were powerful and intriguing, and shortly after, I began my study of essential oils. I also learned the Aromatherapy Full Body technique, designed by leading Aromatherapists from Europe, England and Canada. Within several years, I was training fellow massage therapists and nurses, offering approved continuing education classes for Palm Beach Community College and then for the LMT Success Group seminars throughout Florida and the U.S. I joined the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy in 1997 and became the Southeast Florida Regional Director. I also founded my own essential oils company, Aroma Magic, Inc. More recently, I began training staff at spas, such as the Marriott World Center, Orlando and the "W" Hotel, Times Square and designing custom signature fragrances.

The study of Reiki was a natural expression of my years of energy work. I have received the third level initiation. My work with Reiki and my interest in Oriental Healing and philosophy brought me to the study of Jin Shin Jyutsu, another gentle but powerful healing tool which incorporates all of my studies and philosophy.

My natural interest and expression of photography has been enhanced by my study of Native American philosophy and a profound respect for the natural world. A ceremonial offering of gratitude precedes each photographic encounter and I believe this is the reason for the special essence of the art that results – a gift from that kingdom and an acknowledgement of loving relationship.

I am a published author in the fields of astrology, aromatherapy and Bach Flowers and I will share these articles with you, along with my poetry and fiction and wonderful links to like mind.

Thank you and enjoy your visit!
