In addition to my love for the healing arts, I’m a musician and I have a passion for self expression through creativity. I love creative writing and reading fiction, non-fiction and philosophy. I also like to walk, urban hike, jog, meditate and do yoga. I like road trips, local and world travel, camping and hiking, and feel inspired and connected in the outdoors.
