As a health professional I realized early on that many physical problems stem from mental, emotional and spiritual disorders.

Always looking for new ways to help people to harmonize their lives, I studied and used improvisational theater techniques for self-expression in my workshops.

As a student of trans-personal psychology I learned from the writings of Jung, Rank, Assagioli and others in addition to spiritual teachings especially by Sufi and Taoist Masters. My choice to study Chinese Medicine was influenced by my commitment to alternative health therapies.

I have written articles for professional publications, poems, children’s stories and scripts.

My novel ‘Moses the Beloved’ seeks to answer the question, 'How did the Women in Moses' life influence him in achieving the Mission and his Enlightenment? How did the Feminine contribute to one of the greatest happenings in human history?'

My website Aha! Chi - Creative Health Alternatives uses annals of Ancient Chinese Medicine along with Taoist Meditations as the guidelines for achieving Physical-Mental-Spiritual Health, Expansion of Consciousness and ultimate Enlightenment.

Some of the illustrations on this website have been obtained through the generosity of Master Mantak Chia from his Healing Tao books available from www.universaltao.com
