I am a wellness and life coach, and also a freelance writer and editor. I've spent most of my life advocating for women and girls in different ways. I ran an herb shop for many years where I sold natural remedies, books and other items for healing body, mind and spirit. My shop was a center where women could meet, connect, and find resources for healing themselves and their families.

I have two grown daughters and I'm recently divorced. I now live in Portland, Oregon.
