As an artist, I have always been intrigued by the gaps, the “empty” spaces in art, in music, in science.  They are compelling, especially when sensed at the edges of different disciplines.  Here, are often found parsimonious truths.

Studies in chemistry, anatomy, physiology and astronomy revealed large pieces of the miracle of existence.  Further work with shamans in the Amazon jungle beginning in 2003, showed me the subtle energies that have a profound effect on health, and, that seeing is much more than physical vision.

This path that draws me also dances through a vibrant, creative relationship with healthy food and it’s energy.  This has been strongly influenced by growing up in a large Italian family who loved food, the kitchen, and each other.

My essence is a deep love, curiosity and respect for nature – especially her wilder settings.  Early, I became fascinated with the ability of nature on this planet to heal and regenerate.  I made a commitment to align my journey with this powerful force.  So I studied hard, graduated from medical school and became a specialist in emergency medicine and medical toxicology.  I worked many years, day and night, treating patients in the core of a modern hospital with all the latest science and technology at my beck and call.  It was a long, learned, and powerful Western Medicine ride, but something important came up missing.  I finally realized that I had lost my way as a healer and had become unbalanced and too removed from the Earth.  I needed to know more about the gifts of the Earth and it’s medicine plants.  I longed to know and experience the techniques and understand the legacy of the ancient healers – my legacy, my true ancestors.   I wanted to heal, not just treat.

Now, I am fortunate enough to be in a position to work with my beloved partner, Jude, to offer healing options for clients that combine ancient healing techniques with  modern medical science.  I am grateful to be of service in this way.
