Soul Tribe is an online community building project, and a place to explore how we can harness technology to create real change by helping people anchor a daily practice and find a community of love and support. I hope that you will join us in creating something truly magical here.

My life’s work is about building communities and businesses that thrive. I’ve been a community organizer, Episcopal minister, emotional healing practitioner, Kundalini Yoga teacher, and entrepreneur. The common thread in all these is that love working with group energy, and am passionate about making it healthier when it’s blocked. We call this Constellation work in the field.

My favorite thing to teach is a technique for reading energy called Muscle Response Testing. This tool can help you uncover outdated  patterns that block the healthy flow of love (aka energy) in any of your systems. I love this technique because it empowers you to initiate your own healing, and then bring it into all the communities you are part of: work, community, home, etc. Most of my offerings start with this basic skill and build from there.

I received my Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary, am an Advanced Level Emotional Polarity Technique practitioner, KRI Certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher, Gong Therapist, Embodied Wisdom Teacher Trainer (Shakti Rising), and much more.

I am also the grateful owner of Soul Body Ojai, a holistic wellness center nestled in the beautiful Topa Topa Mountains of Ojai, California. As well as a very happy transplant to California, having growing up in Michigan.
