CURRENT MISSION

I would love to be a doc on a sail boat....in the tropics. It doesn't have to be my boat, but that would be nice. I just want the freedom to travel, help people, and teach what I do to other docs.

ABOUT ME

Loyal, honest, funny, loving, kind, open-minded, unconventional.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel that we are conscious manifestations of the universe, which we achieve best when we are loving, kind, compassionate and grateful. I believe as Thich Nhat Hanh says “We are here to awaken from our illusion of separateness.” That each of our actions affects all of us, in some way. I think human interaction can be a most beautiful part of the world as we know it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The sun coming up over Haleakalā crater, on Maui. Snowboarding out of bounds off Symphony chair, on Whistler Mountain, B.C. Playing guitar on the beach.....anywhere. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I feel like i have lived a few lives already. I've been a teacher, a windsurf instructor, a student, a photo lab technician, a graphic designer, a doctor and a mother. I was baptized roman catholic, and have read and loved many religions and philosophies....I even thought I was an atheist for 18 yrs - maybe I still am ;) I try to keep my mind and heart open, so I hope I will always have things to learn and teach.
