Hello! A quick look at my resume and you will think I either could not hold a job, or that I have lived a long time! Truthfully I like variety and challenge, and found that nursing was an excellent springboard for both. And so I have enjoyed a career that is rich in experiences from clinical nursing in critical care settings and in the air (flight nursing), to the rigors of management at both the mid-level and executive/administrative heights. Education has been equally important in creating a solid foundation and a Bachelors in Nursing, a Masters in Management/Organizational Behavior and a Doctorate in Business Psychology have served me well. For almost two decades I wove all of this together for a very successful consulting practice in which I traveled the country, presenting workshops, providing on-site support to hospitals large and small, emphasizing the power of sustainable relationships among the workforce. I am an international speaker and award winning author of numerous books on nursing, leadership and critical thinking. Somewhere in there, I have also created a blended family of five kids, six grandkids and two lovable golden retrievers.
And now my emphasis is on energy, specifically the healing kind of energy that we can all access to reduce stress, calm the migraine, relieve anxiety and minimize any type of pain while helping our bodies to do what is necessary to gain physical health. I have chosen the studies of Healing Touch and Clinical Aromatherapy as complementary modalities for improving our daily lives.
For the past five years my emphasis and interest has been on energy work, specifically the healing kind of universal energy that we can all access. As a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist (CCA) and Healing Touch Practitioner (HTP), I will work with you to help your body to do what is necessary to improve your physical, emotional, spiritual and mental health.
