I am a dedicated mindfulness and (w)holistic wellness practitioner, always evolving and embracing self-discovery as it is never ending, and quite often illuminating! That which you seek is seeking you.
My journey has taken me to places and experiences I never could have anticipated. I was a college athlete and member of the 1971 Michigan Wolverines Big Ten Football Championship team. I explored my natural curiosity to learn and obtained graduate degrees at Cornell including my JD and MBA, as well as an LLM in International Human Rights from St. Thomas University. I then took my academic training and worked internationally as a senior executive at a Fortune 100 company before exiting and trying my hand at becoming a real estate developer. In hindsight, the “failure” I experienced during that venture was simply the universe guiding me to my true calling and finding a life full of passion, purpose and meaning.
As a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) instructor and (w)holistic wellness coach, I have guided hundreds of individuals, helping those stuck in fear, paralyzed by chronic stress, struggling with anger, or feeling lost and purposeless. I’ve also supported individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, bipolar disorders, and OCD. Recently, my focus has also shifted to counseling people on aging with grace, vitality, and longevity to realize their maximum potential.
In my 70s now, I have faced my share of challenges and discovered the importance of resilience, harmony and ongoing experimentation with a “beginner’s mind”, to determine what works and what doesn’t. The most profound lessons I’ve learned come from understanding that true peace and joy come from within. Through daily mindfulness practice, self-care, empathy, and compassion, I have developed a (w)holistic approach to life that transcends socio-cultural pressures.
My own experiences have shown me the transformative power of conscious living. I believe in sharing insights and wisdom to help others find authenticity, purpose, and inner peace. Join me on this journey and discover the power within yourself to overcome challenges, find purpose and meaning, and cultivate a life of true fulfillment.
