As a holistic consultant, facilitator, and regenerative practitioner, I specialize in bridging ancient wisdom with innovative approaches to personal and ecological well-being. My work centers on Intuitive Drum Song (IDS) – a transformative practice that guides individuals toward profound self-discovery and ecological reconnection.

For over two decades, I've developed Intuitive Drum Song as a powerful methodology for personal and collective healing. By exploring the ancient rhythms of the frame drum and spontaneous, intuitive songmaking, we unlock a profound pathway to:

• Restore individual and collective health

• Reconnect with our authentic inner voice

• Cultivate deep ecological awareness

• Transform personal and environmental challenges

My approach synthesizes diverse expertise – from jazz improvisation and world rhythms to ecological consulting – creating a unique, holistic framework for personal transformation.

My professional journey encompasses:

• Ongoing Regenerative Business Development with Carol Sanford and team.

• Creator and Co-founder of the Bee Bold Alliance for Pollinator Protection

• Advanced training in Jazz Voice and World Rhythms from the New School's Jazz Department

• Theatrical arts training from the Royal Scottish Music and Drama

• Sustainability consulting with Thanksgiving Coffee Company

• Faculty at the Intentional Creativity Institute

• International recognition in ecological research and artistic expression

Drawing from Nordic and Celtic ancestral lineages, I integrate mystic traditions of drum, song, and dance. This approach reveals how our inner imaginal realms directly influence our external material world, creating pathways for meaningful transformation.

I am deeply rooted in the ancient Redwood forests of California, and my work is informed by the profound wisdom of natural ecosystems. From the Madrone, Cedar and Oak, to the waters of the North Pacific – they are not just landscapes, but powerful allies in our journey of personal and collective regeneration.

My collaborative work with bee communities has been particularly revelatory. As a key participant in the International Learning From the Bees Conferences, I've explored the profound "Hive Mind" principles of:

• Collaborative ecosystem design

• Reciprocal relationships

• Collective resilience

• Biodiversity as a core strategy for planetary health

This inspired the creation of the Bee Bold Alliance – a regenerative network dedicated to supporting food security, biodiversity, and systemic ecological healing.

I stand in gratitude for the world's medicine keepers, wisdom holders and song carriers – those courageous souls who dare to explore unseen realms, who nurture youthful curiosity, and who dream of a more beautiful, interconnected future.
