"Hold an image of the life you want, and that image will become fact." Norman Vincent Peale
Loving life begins with a wish, a dream, an inner knowing and then acting on that until it becomes reality. I believe that God gives us dreams to shine a light on our souls purpose. They illuminate the gifts we were given to serve others with a full heart. The greatest leaders and sages know this and utilize practices and disciplines to align them with the divine and their soul's purpose. I call these practices Core Support Systems (please refer to the "FAQS" page for clarification). Inspired by the greatest leaders and teachers such as Gandhi, Yogananda, Ammachi and Martha Beck, I have adopted these practices and have experienced the transformational affects. I am deeply grateful that so many of my dreams have become reality. I had a dream of becoming an inspirational singer, songwriter, making albums, touring, taking people on life changing retreats to exotic places, teaching yoga, leading playshops, creating a sacred world music station, catalyzing others to follow the call of their soul, creating a foundation to bring messages of peace and transformation into prisons, jails, and detention centers. |
All of the above have manifested one by one over time beginning first with an inner call. It materialized into reality as I said yes and walked towards that vision one step at a time.
I have five publicly released albums. My album "Reaching In" charted as high as #6 on the New Age Charts and has had major radio airplay and can be heard regularly on satellite and Sirus/XM Radio. My band Shakti Tribe and I tour consistently and perform at many festivals and consciousness raising events around the world. Since 2008 I have taken three groups on transformational journeys to Bali Indonesia. We are planning to take another group April 2012. I am a certified yoga instructor and Cloud 9 Yoga faculty member, teaching for over 15 years. I have studied mantra and trained with Thomas Ashley Farrand, Sounds True artist and author of "Healing Mantras", and lead mantra and other transformational playshops year round. I co-founded SacredSoundsRadio.com, a free internet based radio station, and the Shakti Tribe Foundation, a non-profit 501c3 created to uplift and catalyze people at a cross-roads. I am a certified NLP coach and trained under Niurka, a world renowned expert in NLP. I also have been through the Landmark Education curriculum and coached participants in the Self-expression and Leadership program. I have studied with the fabulous Life Coach expert and world famous author Martha Beck, learning an abundance of Life Coaching tools to share with my clients. I am a Reiki practitioner and had the honor to train under legendary Hawayo Tekata. I am also a graduate of the University of Southern California majoring in humanities with an emphasis in drama.
I have a passion for helping others to step into their dream, aligning with their soul's mission and walking consciously towards that reality. We are all born to bloom. I want to be there when you do.
