A lifetime of studying and careers that required a hands-on appreciation for the chi life-force that exists in all living things, led me to the healing arts.

As a chef I was most interested in how the vital force of the foods we eat impacts our bodies. In my 20 year career as a floral designer I studied, witnessed, and participated in the amazing transformative effect plant life-force has on us.

Both of these passions, and my deep appreciation for the mystery of life, brought me to Zen Shiatsu and Thai - to the study and practice of understanding and utilizing our own vital chi essence to promote health and well being.
