Living a biodynamic life is the healthiest thing I can offer the world and I would like to assist in creating an organization which reflects the biodynamics of our work.

I live in Durham, North Carolina, off the beaten path, on the edge of a pond with my husband Edward, my mother Gert, and two German Shepherds, Luna and Puck. I have a private practice offering Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, somatic work, Pilates and a variety of massage techniques.

I began my relationship with CSTA/NA serving as the Student Representative to the board of directors from 2002-2003. It was at this point that I felt there was a need for community building. So, I invited our members to join together monthly at a designated time in sitting with Primary Respiration and holding the intention of peacefulness.

At the end of my term as Student Representative I became the RCST® chairperson, and continue to serve in this position. Presently I am also a member of the Education Committee, the Conference Committee and am one of three editors on the Cranial Wave. My experience with the association has given me a working knowledge of what would be expected of me as a board member—representing all of the members in the decision making process, while upholding the integrity and mission of the association.

My prior qualifications include working on the board of directors of the North Carolina Dance Alliance and developing two nonprofit organizations. I have a teaching career which spans from 1972 to the present My last teaching job involved developing a dance department at the Durham School of the Arts. In these capacities I have honed my skills in writing course proposals and curriculum, and have served on two education committees.

I am very committed to assisting in the process of CSTA/NA's continued growth to full professional organizational functioning and would be honored to serve you on the board.
