I am a retired university professor, journalist, a currently licensed registered nurse, past life therapist, energy healer and instructor in alternative healing modalities. Having been in the forefront of implementing multicultural education in California's public schools, colleges and universities during the 1960's, I spearheaded mature women's higher education in 1970 at a time when only the young coed was acceptable on the college campus.

Searching for a change of pace after retirement, my husband and I bought a working fishing boat and turned to the sea for a livelihood. Nightly we hunted the prized yellow-tail snapper twenty miles offshore from the southern coast of Florida (between Florida and Cuba). Encountering nightly tropical storms and raging seas, I learned to turn to Spirit for courage, stamina and protection. Years later aboard our 45ft. schooner, en route to southern waters from Québec, we found ourselves bombarded by the winter's floating ice in Halifax' harbor. We'd set sail late in the season during hail and snow, but thought within a week we'd reach the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. Again brought back to Spirit by the writings of Ram Dass, I learned that Guidance takes circuitous routes. It brought me here.

During a severe illness I learned of Drunvalo Melchizedek, the Flower of Life and the divine joy of opening the heart. Now fully recovered, I feel honored to contribute as a catalyst in the empowerment of each individual as she/he evolves in awareness and experiences Universal Unity. I delight in sharing Flower of Life principles and teachings and am always happy to travel to be of service.
