Personal History

The first years of my life were spent figuring out what the world expected of me and trying to deliver it. This included excelling in left-brain (logical, rational) activities. I earned a Bachelor of Commerce and went on to become a Chartered Accountant. My body, particularly my back, began to complain in my early twenties. In addition, I was prone to depression and seemed overly sensitive to how other people were feeling.

The continuing pain, both physical and emotional, led me on a search through bookstores and courses. I read extensively on spiritual practices, psychology and aspects of the human potential movement. I took seminars in personal growth, shamanism, crystal healing, bodywork, past life regressions, guided imagery, aromatherapy, and yoga. I went to a psychologist and had many treatments with various bodyworkers. I began to realize that everything in my life affected everything else. My physical pain was related to my emotional pain.

In 1992, I decided to sell my business and commit to finding my purpose in life. Within two weeks of doing so, I heard about a meditation class and enrolled. Meditation accelerated my inner exploration. It provided that longed-for connection with an aspect of me that "knew", "accepted" and "forgave". I started taking responsibility for the way I experienced life. I followed my desires, regardless of whether they "made sense". I began to consider the possibility that I could actually work in the field of alternative healing. I realized that my life had been preparing me for this work. My sensitivity now became an asset.

Today, I marvel at my life. Each aspect of it reflects my interests and passions. On a daily basis, I get to interact with people who are engaged in their own search, their own unique path. I have the opportunity to inspire and be inspired, teach and learn.
