About Me

---

Years ago, I was told to write a book.  So, I did. The title is "My Life's Work is Me."  I have looked at myself as a science project from the ill health days of my youth through my high school graduation, my dropping out of college, my floundering to find work of meaning, my marriage and children, my meltdown and resurgence into returning to college and becoming a physician, to the death of my first brother and subsequent awakening and healing from the repression of childhood sexual abuse and its aftermath - the story of who I was.  The journey was not easy but my first life -the one that resulted from "that" story - is over.  My second life has begun and is in full bloom.  I bring the work, the knowledge and the wisdom of the journey to this present moment.

In my work as an osteopathic metaphysician, I know that illness is a comprehensive human expression.  It is never just in the physical plane.  It always has an emotional, mental and spiritual component.  In my healing journey, each layer of me healed as it was capable, in its own time - sometimes it was all layers at once and particularly painful and hard, other times parts and pieces which felt geologically slow.  There was an inordinate amount of frustration and aggravation from which eventually emerged happiness and joy.  I knew I just had to keep going.  There was a 'through.'   I have found the other side.
