I spend my life revealing what's beneath the surface, the essence of our interconnectedness.
Seeing through our human experiences and relationships, dynamics that influence our health and well being, stress and pleasure related to sexual expression, outdated patterns and cycles, and our drive to create, connect and evolve with love and intelligence. Awareness = good medicine.
I am an insatiably curious being with deep empathy for what others are going through, what is outside of our awareness, and what’s worthwhile. For some reason I understand the language of neurobiology, integral anatomy, and physics. Like Lao Tzu and Loren Eiseley’s insights, they just make sense. I wrote a book of essays on “Sensual Intelligence“ a few years back. I’m here now to come full circle to bring this vast, compellingly pleasurable body of work to life.

Notes
01
I'm wholly devoted to my family and I love love love them beyond infinity 🤍
02
For 20+ years, my day job as a TV actress, Ford model & voice over artist supported us as my science writing career evolved.
03
Gemini sun, Libra rising, Aries moon. Wood Dragon ;-) Monty Python
04
As a writing exercise, I did stand up for a while in The Comedy Store's Belly Room to shake off cobwebs + shape material. I equally killed & sucked, LOL.
05
Learning The Tao in French. Started with Neruda's sublime Spanish & English poetry in juxtaposition.
06
Most at home under the sea, running barefoot in sand, immersed in a forest or an integral anatomy dissection lab... movement is meditation.
