Welcome! I have been providing service in the healthcare field since 1994. You will find information on my background as a Physical Therapist, Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist on those pages of this site.

It has become clear to me through this work, as well as other areas of study and life experience, that we as humans have a duty to “tend”. The definitions of this verb that reflect my intention here are:

*to move, direct, or develop one’s course in a particular direction

*to pay attention

*to apply oneself to the care of; to serve

*cultivate

*to stand by in readiness to prevent mischance

There are aspects of being alive, that when well tended, support human beings to thrive in an interconnected way. I perceive tending to our bodies, our breath, our community and our interconnected relationship to all beings and the planet as essential and interwoven. I have chosen to focus my service in the world in these areas. I dedicate my life to this continued exploration. I hope to collaborate with you to cultivate practices of Essential Tending!
