"The meaning of life is to find your gift.  The purpose of life is to give it away."

Welcome to the diversity of interests that have improved the quality of my health and transformed my life.

Like a buffet, there’s a lot being featured. Take what you like and come back for more. Please invite others to ‘dine’ with you as this information may change their life, as it did mine.

I’ve had 4 close-encounters with death due to environmental toxins. They included muscular-skeletal-nervous system disabilities, compromised immune function and heart health complications that I was not expected to recover from. I am grateful for western medicine for saving my life.  And, I am thrilled to be fully recovered and thriving due to a variety of natural solutions that supported my journey back to full health.

Given my experiences, I am passionate about helping others.   My ‘gift to give away’ is to uplift, inspire, enrich and make a difference.

I ‘pay it forward’ as a photographer, artist, healing arts practitioner, holistic educator, lifestyle consultant, health coach and 'humans being more' entrepreneur.

Sharing the beauty and joy I experience daily from my gardens, the lake and winter walks, PhotoArt invites people to see the world with ‘new eyes’ and a fresh perspective.

My Polarity Therapy Training paved the way for my blossoming into a kinder, gentler, more aware human being. My passion to ‘pay it forward’ and empower others to live their best life was definitely ignited through the Healing Arts. 

Exploring options for my future Financial Security with the desire to continue to add value to the world in my 'golden years,' is where I discovered solutions for living a Balanced Lifestyle.

What’s your story? What are you looking for? I hope what I have to offer will make a difference for you and others you know. 

"Extend to each person no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same."
