Education and Training Overview:
We have so much information in our heads. When a group comes together to learn, absolute magic can
transpire. Creating energy, sharing ideas and motivating others are my passions. I learn as much if not
more from my students than they learn from me. What a joy to see others reach an “aha” moment. I love
being able to share information and guide others in attaining skills. It comes from a place of love and
wanting to see others flourish and succeed. Often, others will come up with innovative or new ways of
doing things. It thrills me to empower others and see them transform into the best “selves” that they can
be.
