After thirty years as an award-winning art director and graphic designer, I retired in 2025.

I took up surfing at 58, even after having had 26 surgeries, including a knee replacement last year. I have a fused wrist and a crippled foot, so I am a champion at overcoming physical adversity.

In embracing the third trimester of life, my goal is to embody and empower others to approach this time of life with zest and tenderness, with passion and compassion, and to weave together grief with joy, solemness with playfulness.

Our purpose is not to be perfect, but rather to be whole.

I’m a 200-hr certified yoga teacher, I’ve completed the Certificate Graduate Course at Pacifica Graduate Institute, on “Wellness in the Afternoon of Life,” and am a Journal Coach and Circle Facilitator.
