I grew up in the deep south, in the bosom of breathtaking beauty and with the heartbreak of personal chaos.
I found solace and freedom in music which led to study abroad and a career as a celebrated concert pianist. While living in Paris, I had the good fortune and opportunity to explore another kind of journey. I soaked up the teachings of yoga, zen, meditation, fourth way wisdom, sacred sound, and dance. I let them wash over me. Something ignited. As a matter, of course, these studies informed my music and also my journey to self. I knew that these two parts of myself must merge. This was my personal alchemy.
I’ve spent the last 2 decades performing and sharing what I’ve learned on many stages.
Both as an artist and as a spiritual mentor. I founded the Awareness School. Awakening others to their potential and purpose thru retreats, workshops and online courses. I’ve written books and most recently have incorporated Sacred Sound into what I do.
I’ve confronted myself, my past, my fears, my resistance and come out the other side.
I’ve lived around the world and studied with great masters. I’ve confronted myself, my past, my fears, my resistance and come out the other side. I’ve come to understand it’s not about the destination but embracing the idea of being a beautiful work in progress. I believe self-awareness and acceptance is the key and I’ve spent most of my adult life sharing the tools and techniques I’ve gathered with others. That’s what I’m here to do. To pass the torch, I’m committed to it. It’s my life’s work. My hope is by sharing what I’ve learned through my past, I can help shape the future journeys of others.
