I live in a comfy antique house in a historic neighborhood on the beautiful Kankakee river, with Frank Lloyd Wright houses and a cool community. I'm in a sweet spot as a doula and a myofascial therapist. I have 3 awesome adult children plus a few unofficially adopted ones. I'm an extrovert from a large family, raised in suburban Chicago, influenced by the arts and sciences, social justice, travel, nature and most of all, a variety of people! I have fun with family and friends listening to and playing music, the local art scene, traveling, organic gardening and cooking, paddle boarding, walking/hiking, reading. I'm cultivating more mindfulness and dipping into creative energy to write songs and play music more.

Почему я на Couchsurfing
Going off the beaten path and getting to know people is my favorite way to travel. Bartering and sharing have been a part of my life and couchsurfing fits right in. Hospitality is way better than hotels!
Музыка, кино и книги
I like a wide variety of music but mostly listen to and play a little Americana, rock, blues, folk music. I host a drum circle at my home! I got completely hooked on the Alone tv show.
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
Provide homeless persons a place to live on 3 separate occasions. Also, provided shelter for a year to a battered woman and shared my home with several young people struggling to be on their own. These people became a rich part of my life and I believe vice versa.
Учить, учиться, делиться
I can teach a bit about native plants, organic gardening, share simple guitar music, nutritious food prep.
Что я могу предложить хостам
Being a respectful guest, cooking, cleaning up afterwards, stories about my work as a doula, an occupational therapist, and the bodywork I do--myofascial release. Free treatments if there's time!
