I have taken many courses and classes on health, wellness and mindfulness based stress reduction. I have taught many classes on stress management, relaxation, quality of life and healthy living classes for people with chronic health conditions for over 25 years. I continue to receive referrals for individual consultations as a recreation therapist through the hospital I work at for stress management, leisure lifestyle assessments, evaluations and treatments. I have developed a very deep relaxing technique called neuro-muscular rocking. This involves breathing exercises, mindfulness and a very gentle rocking sensation to initiate very deep relaxation responses at a neuro-muscular level. Show less

      Mar 1996 - Dec 2003
      Senior Consultant

      Started up and reinvented my old consultant business (The Well-Being). This was in operation from March 1996-December 2003. My partner moved out of the area, so concluded that chapter. The reinvention of the Well-Being is now The Wellness Missionary. I have taken vows of service and as initiated by one of my teachers as a "Warrior of Light", who's mission it is simply to go out in the world and fill others with Light. So in my 50th year of Being in this Life, I am fulfilling my vows to a greater extent than ever before by sharing with others what has been shared with me about health, wellness and realizing our reasons for Being.
