I am a member of Mensa, a reflection of innate curiosity and love of pattern, meaning, and complexity. I have also served multiple terms on boards of directors for professional hypnotherapy organizations, including the National Guild of Hypnotists and the Washington Hypnosis Association, helping steward the ethical and professional evolution of the field.

My path has carried me into academic settings such as Bastyr University and Bellevue College, as well as into decades of privately hosted trainings where practitioners gathered not just to learn technique, but to deepen presence, discernment, and confidence in their work. In recognition of this body of teaching and service, I was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award, a moment that invited reflection as much as celebration.

I am a lifelong world traveler and speak Spanish as a second language. My work has been shaped by many lands, cultures, and wisdom traditions — reinforcing again and again that while techniques may differ, the human longing for healing, meaning, and wholeness is universal.
