Journeyer, truthseeker, teacher; photographer, digital artist, bodyworker, consultant, wordsmith.
Freedom and outdoor lover; animal/cat/being lover; people watcher; god/goddess lover; and all-around student of love, life, and spirit. I've got great hands; a big heart; buddha eyes; a penchant for seeing what's important; presence, strength, and compassion; a passion for the divine; and an enduring fascination with the mystery.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I created a very special and cozy place called "Temple in the Trees" which is an amazing healing temple space as well as a personal retreat/sanctuary for the spirit and soul. In addition to this being my personal home, it is a sacred space devoted to all forms of healing and transformation...including therapeutic and spiritual bodywork, personal coaching and guidance, yoga, meditation, as well as other modalities. Plus, its a great place to hang out and chill and be close to nature, redwood trees, a babbling brook/creek, and lots of birds and animals. We're located just 5 minutes off the freeway in Scotts Valley, yet it's only a 10 minute drive to downtown Santa Cruz.
