About
I have always been a teacher.
Even as early as junior high I tutored other students. In high school, I worked as a YMCA day camp counselor working with 7 to 12 year olds in a wilderness setting. In college, I took jobs tutoring other students in Math and Computer Science.
After graduation, I worked in various industries as a computer programmer, system administrator, manager, and self-employed as a consultant.
When I saw the movie “Stand and Deliver” about Jaime Escalante, a math teacher in a low socieconomic high school, I thought I might like to be a math teacher. Unfortunately, it would have halved my salary and I couldn’t see making that kind of sacrifice. In 2001, the dot.com bust, left me on the streets with an opportunity to reconsider what I wanted to do with my life. From the standpoint of being unemployed, a teacher’s salary and job security looked pretty good. So I worked towards a certification in high school math. In less than six months, I was employed at the alternative school I still teach at. I love the vacations too!
Our school is a diploma recovery program to help the students that have failed at all the other high schools in our district. We ask that they come to school only 20 hours per week and they can choose which of their classes to work on. Since every student has a different need, I work with them one on one to help them believe in themselves and that yes, they really can be successful at math or anything else they want out of life. Over 90% of my students graduate high school, and I am working on getting that closer to 100%.
I started my energy journey in 1980 with my first Silva Mind Control class, which introduced me to distance healing. Around 1984 or so, I studied NLP with Jan Marszalek and became a practitioner. In 1998, I found my Reiki teachers Darlene and Jay Brandon. In 2002, I took a the basic Quantum Touch class. Since summer of 2008, I have been learning EFT and One Command. In February of 2009, a gifted distance healing teacher, Alice Langholt, found me on Twitter. She has blessed me with additional Reiki attunements, trust in my abilities, and a deep desire to share with others.
In December of 2008, I was gifted with a message: I am to teach others to heal. I started working on this site shortly thereafter.
If you have a calling to learn healing for yourself or others, you have come to the right place. Check out the Healing Academy for more information on how you too can be an energy healer.
Namaste,
