In addition to clinical practice, I’ve been involved in a variety of educator roles:
>college level adult educator, teaching and creating syllabi in neurology and nutrition courses for massage therapy students;
>leading youth and teen workshops on mental health;
>programming, coordinating and facilitating conferences, including Ryerson University’s International Conference on the Art and Science of Traditional Medicines;
>facilitating meditation and dreamwork workshops for healthcare practitioners;
>creating and facilitating educational and supportive seminars on BIPOC wellness and racial trauma for Algoma University, the National Arts Centre, and the House of Friendship.

I’m a freelance writer with several publications on areas of interest in my field (see Blog), and I continue to participate in professional peer groups for psychotherapy and supervision. My ongoing interests and trainings cover a vast spectrum from neuroscience to shamanism, and inform my orientation to the myriad ways culture, faith traditions, race, ecology, politics, and gender (to name a few) govern one’s experience of the material and non-material dimensions of the human condition.

I also make time to feed my soul, and stay fit, by teaching and taking a Latin dance-inspired fitness class called ZUMBA, which allows me to literally shake things up on a regular basis.
