In my work as an Oncology Nurse, I felt there was something missing from what I was providing for my patients.  That something was a way of interacting that gave them a sense of acceptance and opened the spiritual dimension that was possible in their journey.  

​

I began to study with Arjuna Ardagh and became certified as a Spiritual Counselor and then as an Awakening Coach.  I also became trained in a modality known as Oncology Massage which was a combination of acupressure, taught by Isabel Adkins,  and knowledge of the cancer body and process, which I taught.  I used this knowledge to begin a free clinic for people with cancer currently receiving active cancer treatment.  Along with five volunteers we provided Oncology Massage and I provided counseling and coaching, all free of charge. 

 

During this time I also became engaged with Chameli Ardagh and Awakening Women and Women's Temple Gatherings.  From her I have been blessed with a profound awareness of the Divine Feminine, which breathes my days and fills and feeds my soul.

​

After retiring from nursing, I moved from California, back to my home state of Pennsylvania.  I now live in the remodeled summer home where I spent my childhood, and where I continue to provide  Awakening Coaching, and, until Covid, mothered a Temple Gathering.
