For decades, my journey took place in studios and on stages as an award-winning singer, writer and producer. I embraced the life of a performer, voice-over artist, stunt person, circus artist, professional water skier, and a dancer. I became a published poet at 14 and continued to write for television, the stage, as a songwriter, in books, print and online magazines, articles, and much more.
But parallel to my life in the arts was a life in the clinic. As a veterinary technician, I spent time in the hands-on reality of animal medicine—stitching wounds, lab work, administering anesthesia, to name a few duties. I applied my knowledge with both domesticated and wild animals.
I don’t just observe nature from a distance; I have lived in the trenches with it.
After 25 years in meditation, Qigong, and Reiki, I mastered the techniques of energy and stillness only to realize that my greatest teacher was waiting just outside the door.
I found that sitting with wildlife and in nature is the highest form of meditation—a realization built on years of seeing animals not as characters, but as living, breathing beings I’ve fought to heal and protect.
Today, I merge the discipline of the healing arts with the craft of storytelling and the clinical reality of my veterinary background. My mission is to share the wonder and “obscurities” of nature through a lens of experience.
