About Me

-Ceci nest pas une pipe-
I'm resident/staff at a center for holism in Princeton, NJ. It facilitates my style of living and enables me to engage in projects that excite me. I am a Master Scuba diver, sailor, photographer. I work with individuals to develop a sense of intuition. I travel light, help clean up and enjoy cooking. I am calm, cool and collected and drama free.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I learned long ago that the best way to visit an area is through locals that already have a finger on the pulse of the region. I appreciate opportunities to hear stories, learn modalities and share experiences.

Interests

Putting resources to work for me.
Figuring it out.
Delicate operations.
Coaxing-out the best.
Empathy, getting to the heart/root and speaking the truth.
Rubbing elbows in the kitchen and engine compartment.
A Swiss-Army Knife of solutions.
Taking the stairs and watching the stars.
How to form words that are fitting, direct yet light-hearted.
How surrender equates to non-resistance and know-mind.
How energies mesh.
Inner and outer Feng Shui.
Is duality a figment of my imagination.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm blessed to live a life full of opportunities and amazing stories. It's challenging, in fact to put my finger on the most amazing. I think I'll generalize to a common denominator of discovering some of the most amazing natural sights. I.e. the cliffs along the California coast or the forests of Brocéliande.

Of course SCUBA diving has been amazing. Here is a write-up from one such adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

In 2007 I left the pharmaceutical industry and a 6 figure income to write and teach about living and healing through a raw and whole foods lifestyle. Since then I've been exposed to many "fringe" modalities and counter-culture thinking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have studied with many professionals who have bestowed upon me keys to thriving in life. Mid-wives to Naturopaths, Sound healers to acupuncturists. I've made a life of diversifying, casting a wide net and using and teaching intuition to put all the dots together.

I suppose at the very least I can help hang pictures or sharpen kitchen-ware.
