CURRENT MISSION:

To be grateful!

ABOUT ME

I've always been a traveler. I've stayed on many a couch around the globe, and have lent my couch out in return many times. Whoever invented this website inspires me to live more in harmony with what I believe is our true nature: contribution & compassion.

PHILOSOPHY

*If your thought doesn’t empower you (and others) then you know it's not true.
*What's on the other side of the wall we've created is exactly what we want.
*If you don't find god in the next person you meet, stop looking.
* The only thing anyone is ever really saying is "please", and "thank you!".

Interests

I'm a singer/songwriter & guitarist. Always looking to collaborate with others. I'm also a bodyworker & chiropractor & love to trade with others.
I've been studying Reorganizational Healing for the last few years, and also Nonviolent Communication (NVC)...both total game changers!

Check out this clip from a public access cable show called NVC Conflict Hotline which uses role playing & coaching to dismantle conflict & help people see that we all have the same needs. I love this particular clip because it's about two people having a heated political argument, and who can't relate to that?! The way the woman helps both people see that they're really not listening to each other is brilliant!! https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PL374D5E76E979613D&v=lqPNfjpxol0

And here's a clip on Reorganizational Healing - most people think all chiropractors do is that cracking stuff, but this is gentle and about a million times more effective. It's the most researched technique in chiropractic right now, and it's founder is being considered for a Nobel Prize in Physics because they had to come up with a whole new mathematical system to explain how your spine WAVES - it's about the spinal cord (and our awareness) not just the vertebrae...

I'm also convinced that there's nothing better than dogs. I'm in awe of their honesty & beauty & how they’re complete masters of living in the present moment!

Music, Movies, and Books

The novel 'Like Being Killed' by Ellen Miller is amazing.
