My story

Versatile and energetic, I've actualized a variety of interests and accomplishments.  I love  to study and learn, travel and gain new experiences.  I love to help people to understand themselves.
With a Leo Sun, Moon in Pisces and Gemini rising, I love to teach, am multi-talented and I have been blessed with an interesting life

I began my study of astrology in 1968 by taking classes from Milo Kovar at the Metaphysical Bookstore in San Francisco.

In the early and mid1960s, I traveled through many countries and lifestyles and left my comfortable family to experience the world in its less privileged condition.  Along the way, I experienced illness and a different kind of spirituality.  In 1969, I initiated yoga classes in Mt. Shasta, California.  I have taught occasional yoga classes for over 50 years and continue with a personal yoga practice.
Crafts and sewing were part of my youth, my mother's talent at drawing and ceramics was an inspiration to me.  I began working with stained glass as a hobby and formed my "cottage business" in the 1970s. My lampshades and windows grace dozens of homes in northern California. My stained-glass lampshades were featured at the DeYoung Museum gift shop during the Tiffany Exposition in 1981.  Later, I authored over a dozen stained-glass pattern books for Dover Publications, still available at Amazon.com and other booksellers. 

While I was still working on my first pattern book, I decided to go back to school to earn my B.A , M.A., and teaching credentials. I earned both B.A. and M.A. in Anthropology, with teaching credentials for K-High School as well as community college.  I taught in schools as a regular classroom teacher as well as adjunct professor.

Because of my varied life experience, when it comes to relating the astrological chart to the person, I often see opportunities and potentials that someone with a more conventional or limited background might miss. My long study of astrology, spanning more than five decades, also gives me a longitudinal view of what and how the transits (the moving sky) may play out.  I offer practical workable strategies, based on the realities of our everyday world and the bright promise inherent in your own natal blueprint.  This is the hallmark of my teaching, mentoring and consulting.
