believe that each of us is born a poet and storyteller, but the moment we enter this world we forget that and all that we knew. We come in chanting these words: Who am I? Who am I? Who am I? and we spend the rest of our lives trying to answer the question.

My purpose is to help others rediscover their poetry-making gift and reconnect with their spiritual tongue, which is the language of poetry and story.

Through the magic of poetry and story, I can help you deepen your spiritual practice, discover and refine the intimate conversation with yourself, and heal the wounds caused by disconnection and obstruction.

In me, you’ll discover a friend who will read your heart.
