About/My Story

My Story…

I have been fascinated by healing and consciousness exploration since I was a child and played games with energy and magic. As a teenager I began to explore health and healing and began my studies of various metaphysical philosophies and healing techniques. I also developed my lifelong love of Speculative Fiction and exploring alternate possibilities. In the 1970′s, I worked in allopathic hospitals and clinics, spent two years in nursing school, then became a pre-med student, and was looking forward to being a doctor.

But in 1974 I got involved in the rich and exciting women’s health movement in Boston and everything changed. I became passionate about alternative healthcare, nutrition, herbal medicines, energy healing, guided imagery and meditation. Medical school no longer looked like the right path.

I studied mind-body healing, energy healing, guided imagery and visualization, Continuum movement, meditation and conscious exploration with a variety of amazing teachers. I became a Chiropractor, graduating from NY Chiropractic College in 1981 as a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC). In 1981 I started a private practice in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and developed my own technique called Subtle Body Alignment, a synthesis of energy healing with Chiropractic concepts of the structure, function and innate intelligence of the body.

In 1995 I added a higher level of nutrition training to my ongoing studies of nutrition, herbs, homeopathy and flower essences, becoming a Certified Clinical Nutritionist (CCN) through the International and American Association of Clinical Nutritionists (IAACN) and a New York State Certified Nutritionist. In the past 15 years I have greatly expanded my intuitive mind-body healing work by incorporating EFT Meridian Tapping and Energy Psychology techniques.

In 2008-9 I produced and hosted a teleseminar called Profound Paths to Health, Healing and Happiness in which I interviewed some of the brilliant teachers and thought leaders of our time, many of whom, like Dr. Bernie Siegel, Emily Conrad (founder of Continuum,) Donna Eden, Guy Finley, Marci Shimoff, and EFT Masters Rue Haas, Gwyneth Moss and Carol Look had profoundly influenced my work.

For over 40 years, I have been blessed to have met, worked with, learned from and touched the lives of thousands of people, through my work as a practitioner, mentor, coach and teacher. I am greatly honored by all the people who have entrusted me with their health and well-being, and grateful for all the teachers and clients I have learned from along the way. Helping people to feel better in their bodies; to feel safe and grounded and connected to their whole selves on this wobbly planet, and to experience health, healing and peace brings my life meaning, inspiration and joy. I love my work! Thank you for taking the time to read my story, I look forward to hearing yours.
