I studied writing at the University of Iowa and was an educator in Colorado for many years. My passions are being in nature, practicing yoga, reiki and meditation, dancing to live music, cooking healthy food, and guiding retreats around the world. I have been teaching yoga for twenty years, am a Reiki Master Teacher & Holistic Health Coach. I live on an island on the Atlantic Coast of North Carolina with my husband, Joe, and our dog, Daisy.
