GRATITUDE TO MY TEACHERS
Eternal Gratitude Dedicated To All My Teachers & Healers
I give special, eternal gratitude and praise to all my teachers, coaches and mentors who are simply too many name. From the Cosmic Om to Mother Nature, to my mother and father, and all my ancestors, angels and guides, all my family, my sisters, soul sisters, pet companions, to my platonic and romantic relationships, colleagues and clients, strangers and acquaintances. And of course to the healers, teachers, mentors, guides, medicine wo/men, and organizations who have greatly influenced, inspired, supported and nurtured my vocation and life purpose around holistic healing, relationship healing, sacred sexuality, spirituality, sacred dance, integrated self-awareness, embodied self-expression, and compassionate loving presence.
I would also like to give extra special gratitude to my mentor and "believing" eyes, Lynn Kirkham, founder of "Yes, You Can Speak," who saw my gift, and welcomed me to be her first lead trainer, which was the catalyst to helping me heal and find my authentic voice, to speak in front of hundreds, without fear and overwhelm, so that I may be in greater service to others, to help them find theirs.
