About me
I fell in love with school and teaching when I was a student in middle school. Having completed a career of 33 years, I still love to teach. But it was not always so. After seven years of teaching, I hit a wall and nearly left. It felt as if I was at the back end of my career looking over a deep, dark chasm and the ground beneath my feet was giving way. A friend had told me,” People don’t quit jobs. They plan their escape.”
I have received training in Jin Shin Do pressure points, Energetic Medicine, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and earned a doctorate degree in education measuring the effectiveness of EFT on teacher burnout. Utilizing much of this information I began exposing my high school students to similar activities. Things that would include relaxation techniques, pressure points to alleviate their everyday aches and pains and projects they could do on medicines from around the world; cupping, Ayurvedic medicine, acupuncture, therapeutic massage, muscle testing, NAET, and others. One of my greatest joys is seeing the wonder in someone’s eyes when they learn something new. It is even better when I see that light in an adult’s eyes. I hope to have some of those moments with you.
