Personal History
I have been an RN for 31 years. I have worked in multiple areas of care including hospital experience in pediatrics, geriatrics, respiratory, immunology & hospice care. I studied healing touch with Janet Mentgen RN, founder of the Healing Touch movement. Attracted to research on how the mind effects healing I obtained an MA degree from Naropa University in the field of Jungian and Transpersonal psychology. I traveled with Dr. Clyde Reid assisting in "Healing The Spirit" workshops throughout the US & Mexico. Drawn to the deeper dimensions of the human experience I worked with teachers in Christianity, Sufism & Yoga. I spent several years living in an eqalitarian community in the Ozarks where I participated as a community nurse.
