Everything. Our joy. Our pain. Our hopes and fears. It is all energy and vibration. Our physical bodies and our physical experiences are also energy and vibration.
In my highest understanding of life, as ongoing cycles of creation and experience, love is the vibration that heals.
I am dedicated to creativity, love and healing.

I believe we each have a soul or spirit that exists independently from the body, and that our souls come into these bodies and these lifetimes in cycles of learning and growth.
I believe there is one Source, commonly referred to as "God", which I believe is fully present in every soul, every moment and every thing, and yet far beyond comprehension in human terms.
I believe that religious concepts of exclusivity or "chosen-ness" are spiritual distortions.
I believe we are all traveling similar but unique paths of spiritual growth, and that we cannot compare or judge each other's paths.
I believe that spiritual growth comes most often (but not only) through struggle and suffering; difficult lives and circumstances are rich with opportunity for learning and healing.
Blissful connection is also rich with opportunity for learning and healing :)
I was raised in the U.S. and Italy in a Roman Catholic family and attended Catholic schools, but I am not aligned with any particular religious tradition, community or practice, and I have no agenda regarding your beliefs. I personally like what Gandhi said: "I am a Muslim, and a Hindu, and a Christian and a Jew, and so are all of you."
While I do not belong to any particular tradition, I do have a vibrant personal spiritual practice, which includes powerful spiritual hygiene within my own being and within my home, living and work spaces.

As a spiritual facilitator. I am devoted to helping my clients have their own experience and access their own Knowing.
I am very careful with my own energy and intentions. My focus is on my clients and their intentions.
As a Spiritual Facilitator and Psychotherapist, I am engaged, non-judgmental, curious, challenging when necessary, and deeply compassionate. I am not passive or quiet. I am able to listen actively and carefully, and to honor my client's pace, boundaries and sense of readiness.
My approach is natural and contextual; I do not employ many structured techniques or branded methodologies.
I have no agenda in terms of your beliefs or your path.
