I began my healing journey sixteen years ago as a response to various serious mental and physical challenges. It has been an interesting and circuituos path, but today I find myself a happier, stronger, and more balanced individual. I have had to undergo much internal change and growth, but thanks to discipline and the many inspiring teachers and healers I have met along the way I now find myself in a position to act as a positive force for change in others. I have practiced, studied and taught various healing arts from the Usui, Karuna, Buddho/Enersense, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, and Burmese/ Tibetan traditons daily and intensely. In addition to Butterfly I am also the Chief Instructor of The White Lotus Martial Arts Center (est. 1977). Credentials/certifications include: Independent Reiki Master/Teacher; Sifu level instructor in the Chinese arts of T'ai Chi Ch'uan, Ch'i Kung, and Shaolin; credentialed Integrative Medicine Consultant and Preventative Health Practitoner. I am a professional member of the International Ass. of Reiki Professionals, The CT Holistic Health Ass., The Arthritis Foundation, and The White Lotus Society. I have also been published in international magazines such as T'ai Chi, Qi Journal, and The Empty Vessel. The journey continues
