I am a retired High School Math and Science teacher long fascinated by the growing scientific research that indicates that brain plasticity including memory function, physiological regulation and stabilization is not something that stops developing at a certain age but is available for enhancement at any age! I have experienced the value of long term relationships and how they promote a healthy and happy life. My interest in music and poetry has become a means to co-create community and assist me in expressing the sacred nature of life. I find joy in weaving the story of my life experience with those of us wanting to explore our healing.
