I am a professional writer and editorial specialist for Shore Health System. I have been a member of the Evergreen Cove community since I relocated from Philadelphia to the Eastern Shore in 1998. Evergreen Cove has been my spiritual home and learning lab for over 10 years. In that time I have explored many different pathways to health and well being at Evergreen Cove with a collection of intelligent and curious people whom I cherish as friends.

I am a Kripalu certified yoga teacher currently on sabbatical from teaching and a graduate with a master of arts in Applied Healing Arts from the Tai Sophia Institute in Laurel, Maryland. My studies have focused on using language to build and enhance relationships at home, at work and out in the community.

I am co-author with Anna Harding of the book Petite Retreats: Renewing Body, Mind, and Spirit without Leaving Home. We developed the concept of Petite Retreats for women who want to create short, at-home retreats designed to renew their health, creativity, productivity, and overall joy for living. The book is the foundation for workshops that we offer to introduce groups of women to the practice of taking short periods of time alone in their homes. Learn more at www.petiteretreats.org.
