I am a structural bodyworker and acupuncturist, and work as a Registered Nurse at the VA Emergency Department. I am dedicated to my own healing and helping to facilitate the healing of others. My current learning edges are Organic Intelligence, learning to facilitate the Wheel of Consent, sharpening by bodywork and acupuncture skills, learning apology work, and most importantly, becoming a better parent, friend, and companion.
I spent about 30 years of my life knowing who I didn’t want to be, knowing I didn’t want to be “That guy” anymore, the one who rumbled through life like a bull in a China shop, causing casual wreckage in my relationships and not knowing how or why. It took me a very long time to learn that it’s not enough to know what I don’t want, but that I needed to learn (and move toward) what I do want – how I wanted to show up for my family, my friends, my bodywork clients, and <gulp> myself.
I needed to choose healing, choose love, choose compassion (and self-compassion), and choose environments and communities that would support me on my Post-Trauma Growth trajectory. I left the Army to study and follow my great passion, structural bodywork. After several years of practice, someone I trusted told me I needed to study with Steve and learn (what would become) Organic Intelligence.
