I am a woodcarver, painter, bodyworker, and workshop leader living in Albuquerque, NM. I have been an artist ever since I could hold a pencil and smear paint. It's in my blood, I guess. My grandfather was an artist and woodcarver. Some of my earliest memories are of visiting him and his sign making shop in Indiana for our Summer trip. To this day one of my favorite smells is sawdust mixed with turpentine.

 

I have been in private practice as a Natural Therapeutics Specialist, deep tissue massage therapist, and energy worker since 2000 and an avid Qigong practitioner since 1995. In my practice I teach preventive and supportive self-care through breathing, stretching, aromatherapy, nutritionals, and herbal remedies, among others.

​

All of the work I do is inspired by my own healing journey through life. From spiritual seeking, shamanic practices, psychotherapy, and meditation, to a host of other alternative healing practices, I have sought to heal the fractures in my own being. Art making, alongside all of these other practices, has been a way to experience a sense of refuge, connect with my own resilience, strength, and vulnerability, and engender a sense of joy, ease, flow, and grace. Creative expression in all forms was and is an integral part of the process of returning to a felt sense of wholeness.

I am also a budding singer/songwriter. If you have any desire to listen you can click either of the links below. Thank you!
