Hello, and a warm welcome to Earth Summit, LLC. My personal journey leading to the creation of Earth Summit and the work I do has many facets, this is but a glimpse of that journey…..

 

I have been counseling and facilitating groups for over 25 years, and have had the great honor to work with many people who have entrusted me with their communication, and blessed me with their love and friendship. I am eternally grateful for each of them.
 
Over the past 20 years I have had the privilege to study various cultural forms of holistic healing and spirituality with many gifted teachers here in the US and during my extensive travels to Ecuador, Peru and Ireland. Some of the numerous programs and apprenticeships include One Spirit Interfaith Seminary, study with Peruvian master don Theo Paredes, Craniosacral Therapy & Somatic Emotional Release with Dr Ron Wish and herbalism with world renowned herbalist, Rosemary Gladstar. Most recently completing a yoga teacher trainer with Sondra Loring and Ragunath in upstate NY.
 
What was to become one of my most profound apprenticeships began in 1998 when I was initiated in the Yachak tradition of Quechua Andean indigenous healers by don Esteban Tamayo and Jorge Tamayo. This experience was, and continues to be, life changing. For over a decade now I have returned to Ecuador every year for up to 2 months at a time to live with the Tamayo family in their home, working side by side with them in ceremony, deepening my relationship with them and the wisdom of their traditions. Over the years the Tamayos have come to be family, their home mine. Their unconditional love and support has nurtured and sustained me on my journey. This intimate relationship and deep understanding of the teachings are an integral part of my daily practices in life & work.
 
I am an intuitive bodyworker, yoga teacher and spiritual mentor. In my private practice I offer natural and holistic healing methods in achieving wellness that include craniosacral therapy, herbal remedies and energy work based on ancient wisdom.Through Earth Summit I offer workshops, programs & Spiritual Journeys in the US and internationally. All our programs and journeys are designed with sacred intention.

"As long as I live, I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing. 

                                                                         

I'll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, storm, and the avalanche.                                                                               
I'll acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens, and get as near the heart of the world as I can."
