It isn’t unusual to have many different jobs or professions as an American. In my adult life I have always been involved with the cranium and my hands. For many years I was a beautician and I suppose this is where I developed my original ‘chairside’ manner. More often than not my clients would feel safe and comfortable enough to share all manner of private matters with me. I was fascinated by the variety of human experience. I was all ears, but I soon learned the true meaning, the value and the importance of listening and confidentiality. I also discovered that I was working with much more than meets the eye. I traveled as a platform stylist and teacher with the international group Fashion Media.
Having had some experience in the restaurant business, I became interested in a lifestyle & dietstyle called Macrobiotics and I have served many meditation groups as a cook. With food I was involved with more intimate parts of the cranium, the mouth, meditation and spirituality. While managing a cooking school at a seminar center in Switzerland, I became interested in courses of Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy taught by one of my mentors, Michael Shea PhD. And this was another totally new relationship with the head, but not only. I began relating to the whole field of a person as well as the original blueprint and inherent health of the human energy system. Studying embryology initiated an ever-growing fascination with what the embodying soulful prenate has to teach. Since then I have been teaching and supervising students of Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy.
I attended Snowlion Center School, an energetic healing school that would support me in my quest for personal healing. Snowlion helped me turn to face myself, meet my shadow and realize my true essence. After graduation I continued attending Snowlion as a faculty member. During my Snowlion years I attended courses in Prenatal trauma therapy being taught by pioneers in the field William Emerson PhD. and Karlton Terry. An interest in my own birth became one of my deepest modes of self-inquiry. Through studying birth I realized why I am who I am, how I survived and how I am in the world. Assisting and co-teaching with William and Karlton respectively, I was fortunate to learn and be mentored by pre-eminent world-class Prenatal educators. For this I am ever grateful.
Until I studied my birth, I didn’t understand what was dictating my behavior in most every situation. Now I see who I am in the world as an expression of my own unique birth and who I actually am in my original wholeness. Now I can name it, claim it and embrace it as an essential part of who I am in my totality. Now I can accept myself for who I truly am in my innocence. Now I can allow our world in transition, to change, change, change…
Teaching has become more of a happy learning, an exchange that I make with all whom I come in contact. Through Transitions I am helping others learn to be happy too.
