About Me

CURRENT MISSION

make connections, making the world a better place one hug at a time

ABOUT ME

Im a 38 year old avid life lover. I've been living a few years on Cortes Island, off the North of Vancouver Island. I love gardening, have a regular yoga-meditation practice in the morning, I'm a nurse and also very much interested in other ways of healing. I've been studying Therapeutic Touch and breema for years and like to incorporate it's teachings in my daily life. . I really love playing the violin. Love travelling, discovering new ways of life, new cultures all rooted in a deep love of life. All in all Im a laid back girl, who loves making deep connection with people and to make the most of life.

I live in a tiny house now in a homestead so not quite enough space to host

PHILOSOPHY
Just do it, if you want to do something the only thing stopping you is yourself
Take a moment, deep breath close your eyes and savor life.
