What a life it’s been!

Born in 1946, I bring 7+ decades of life experience to this page.

I’ve worked many jobs, loved several professions, attended countless workshops and trainings to deepen my chosen work, and sometimes had jobs driven by economic necessity. I’ve worked in the fields of complimentary therapies, spiritual counselling, workshop and labyrinth-walk facilitator, and as a retail salesperson, restaurant host, and textile designer.

I’ve had the privilege to work as a yoga therapist, specialising in teaching all aspects of yoga to people living with cancer, heart disease, and muscular-skeletal challenges, and especially to people over 50.

After leaving that work I ordained as a OneSpirit interfaith minister and spiritual counsellor. My commitment was to celebrate older people, and to change the paradigm of ageing to one of joy, service, and wisdom. To that end, I’ve facilitated meditation retreats for people over 55, hosted Death Cafes, and accompanied people on their path of growth into ageing.

To enhance my skills and expand my community I became a Certified Sage-ing Leader through Sage-in International, hosting workshops in person world-wide and online. These workshops enhance conscious ageing/eldering as people examine attitudes and fears about ageing, connect with inner wisdom, and nourish wellbeing on all levels.

And now I’ve unexpectedly become a writer and author. Read about this current phase of my life’s evolution here.
