I am an award-winning creative, splitting my time between Southern California and Southwestern Pennsylvania. Over the last 25 years, my career has been focused on the entertainment industry, working as an Emmy-nominated makeup artist, producer, writer, and indie filmmaker.
Several years ago, while dealing with an injury, I found my way to sound therapy and meditation to deal with first, the pain, and then with the thought of losing the ability to continue my artistic career. Eventually, I became a certified sound therapist and meditation leader, specializing in Elemental Meditation practice and personal rewilding.
I offer one-on-one coaching, teach classes, and lead retreats with the mission to help people reclaim and rekindle their relationship with Nature.

To help others understand, appreciate, and honor their innate connection to the natural world and everything in it through Nature immersion, meditation practices, and keeping a journal.
The practice of personal rewilding is four-fold: rediscovering the Wild Self, reconditioning ourselves to the rhythms and cycles of Nature, utilizing our rekindled relationship with Nature to become stewards of the natural world, and finally to honor our genetic history by restoring our bond to Nature.
At this critical time as a society that has promoted materialism and personal wealth, and pushed for a disconnection from Nature, it has become imperative that man - the human race - is in desperate need of rekindling their relationship with nature. Our physical and mental health depends on it.
Science has proven the necessity for man's connection to Nature.

In an effort to assist those who are seeking a stronger personal connection to Nature, I offer a variety of remote and in-person, one-on-one meditation and coaching sessions. While spending time in the natural world together is ideal, it is not always possible, therefore digital sessions are offered.
I have also written several eBooks about rewilding and the development of a personal meditaiton practice. I have created a digital course on the basics of meditation.
Additionally, I have published a number of articles to answer questions about personal rewilding and the importance of living with a deep connection to Nature.
