Founder of Cultivating Peace and Joy where our mission is to inspire individuals to nurture themselves to heal and transform the world!
Over the past thirty years of my counseling career, I have discovered the thing that most undermines how we feel about ourselves – caring for everyone in our lives except ourselves – leaving us overwhelmed, stressed out, and exhausted.
Instead what most of us yearn for is more peace and joy in our lives and the in world. And the key is self-nurturing!
Unfortunately most of us don’t know how to nurture ourselves because we haven’t been taught, encouraged, or given permission to prioritize caring for ourselves, and so we end up feeling chronically stressed, anxious, depressed, resentful and overwhelmed.
What is worse is that the longer we are depleted, giving more than we have to give, the more health challenges we face, the more difficulty we have making empowered decisions, and the more problems we experience in our relationships.
If you can relate to feeling this way, I want you to know you are not to blame and there is nothing wrong with you. But there is another way and discovering how to cultivate peace and joy in your life is the solution.
And you are not alone. I am here to nurture you through the process with a proven step-by-step system, easy to implement self-nurturing strategies, mindfulness tools, a variety of workshops and retreats, individual counseling sessions, my book The Art of Self-Nurturing: A Field Guide to Living With Peace, Joy and Meaning, The Art of Self-Nurturing Course, articles, The Art of Self-Nurturing monthly themes, and the Self-Nurturing Starter Kit to support, inspire and encourage you!
As a self-nurturing expert, I am your guide to help you find easy and accessible ways to care for yourself and replenish. You have found a place where you will be nurtured and supported in creating a self-nurturing practice to help you thrive. Soon you will understand how important self-nurturing is for your health and wellbeing, and how it positively impacts all your relationships!

We are so excited to support your self-nurturing journey by offering you monthly themes to nurture yourself and cultivate an open heart. The themes have been chosen to inspire you to become the artist of your life, feeling empowered, confident, and grounded in intention, self-compassion, and self-love. Each month we’ll offer you the theme in the Art of Self-Nurturing Love Note with ways to explore and embody it: blogs, inspiring quotes, reflections questions, and self-nurturing practices. We’ll also be posting on social media and encouraging you to share your insights and wisdom creating a community of open hearted individuals spreading love and light in the world.
We have chosen Open-Hearted as our theme for the year and all the monthly themes will support you in nurturing your open heart. As you navigate the unknown of a new year, deepening your self-nurturing practices will reinforce your trust and belief in yourself and empower you to make nurturing choices that benefit you and the world. When we become our own best friends and choose to remain filled up and empowered there is nothing we can not do! We can be beacons of love and compassion in a world that so dearly needs it.
