I am a lifelong learner and particularly passionate about the nervous system. I continue to seek new insights into how to interface with the varying systems and whole person as gently and effectively as possible. It is a privilege to facilitate healing and growth in those who invite me to be part of their journey.

I was a practicing chiropractor for 35 years practicing mainly gentle manual therapies such as craniosacral, certified applied kinesiologist, masters in medical chi gong (MMQ), and many other techniques. i am now retired from a chiropractic practice doing adjusting, to the manual body work therapies such as craniaosacral (Upledger, Milne, etc), registered biodynamic craniosacral (RCST), lymphatic drainage therapy, visceral manipulation, Chikly Institute techniques and other osteopathic type therapies.
