JI have been a natural health professional working internationally for over 30 years

Over the years I have worked with a large diversity of clientele including:

from Mountain sides to Oceans shores n more.

 

I have taught and guided individuals and groups in the wilderness,

as well as the class room,

in various natural health and healing,

and wilderness skills.

 

I started meditating and doing Hatha yoga with my father when I was eight years old.

I grew up in a Montessori based home environment as my parents owns and operates 6 Montessori schools.

I was supported to be my own person,

to respect, accept, love and nurture myself,

rather then to be what the government, the church, peers, the teacher...

wanted me to be.

 

I have been actively exploring multitude of self expressive arts since early childhood,

exploring who I am and who I chose to create myself to be

through various artistic self expressions.

 

For years I have experimented in creating and producing my own music, writings, experimental theatre and movement

 

I am and have been living organically for all of my life.

I began exploring organics and permaculture in my fathers,

grand mothers and great grandmothers gardens.

 

I have managed medicinal herbal and organic produce departments

within retail Organic food stores.

 

I have designed, implemented and grown my own small, large scale gardens

and permaculture food forest.

I have enthusiastically assisted others in the design and implementation of their own organic gardens, food forests, etc.

 

I have done my own independent ethnobotanical research in the rain and cloud forests

living amongst my indigenous friends who became my family.

I experientially learned from them the indigenous uses, preparations

and to identify the plants in their natural environment,

besides learning their indigenous living skills.

 

Always learning from nature within other areas of the world.

Nature who is my equal, guide and best friend!

 

I have actively worked with wildlife rehabilitation and rescue

voluntarily for many years since childhood.

 

I am a vegan for over 30 years.

 

I love what I have consciously chosen to do with my life.

 

I am happy to be of assistance to you in your own health and healing,
