In the early 90s I completed holistic bodywork and Polarity therapy training and soon developed a successful private practice. In the late 90s, I experienced the unfortunate reality that many caregiving practitioners face: my work with clients often left me feeling depleted and ill. I quickly realized that developing and maintaining clear personal boundaries was a gap in my formal training, one that was filled by the tutelage of Desda Zuckerman, founder of SAEM. Desda’s edge practice taught me how to strengthen and maintain the integrity of my sovereign self; not merging with loved ones and clients is the most valuable SAEM skill I have learned thus far.

I serve professionally as a holistic health educator, recovery consultant, addiction counselor, faculty member, and licensed/board-certified therapeutic massage and bodywork therapist.

Over the last two decades, I have facilitated groups and individual sessions for health care professionals, for people in recovery from substance use disorders and for caregivers, with an emphasis on assisting individuals in facilitating their own healing process. Over the last decade I have been led to facilitate healing circles with community trauma, mass shooting and gang violence survivors, war veterans, senior citizens, and health care professionals experiencing moral injury.

My trust in the miracles of mutual support, vicarious resilience and post traumatic growth guides my primary focus in assisting human hearts to facilitate their own empowered restorative process.

The edge practice continues to be foundational in allowing me to sustain a successful and gratifying career as a caregiver to caregivers and in my additional roles as a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, sister, friend, teacher and life-long learner. I am eager and delighted to share the Edge Express, a straightforward and effective self-care skill set that has helped me to develop viable self-care capacity and enhance personal well-being.
