My involvement with astrology originally began with a childhood love of astronomy and math. After ten years of working as a medical social worker and natural foods chef, I began studying astrology while obtaining a Master's degree in Consciousness Studies at John F. Kennedy University. I've been involved in various healing arts since 1974, and have been a full time astrologer since 1993.

Some of the things which have shaped me and what I bring to my work: many solo backpacking trips, travels in Europe and Asia, years of inner work via Primal therapy, Rosen Method bodywork, Aikido, Expressive Arts, A Course in Miracles, Tibetan Buddhism, Sufi Dances of Universal Peace; shamanic studies with Jose and Lena Stevens, John Milton, Michael Harner, and the School of Lost Borders; practitioner trainings at the California Flower Essence Society, and spiritual studies with Leslie Temple Thurston. Some of my personal strengths include: sensitivity and compassion, a love of learning, a deep commitment to inner work and waking up, experience with trauma and a knowledge that anything can heal. People often say they feel a sense of peace around me. When not at work, I'm out in nature, dancing, or doing photography.
