Northwest Light Therapy is a labor of love, undertaken to promote a better understanding of current alternative, cutting-edge health and healing approaches. I intend to focus on offering education that includes light, sound and energy healing modalities; plant-based, whole foods nutrition; and healthy, earth-centered products and services.
I am a lifelong student of natural health and I have a multitude of skills in writing and a variety of digital arts, including video production, graphic design for print, photography and web design with a focus on education and promotion.
I see my role in society as a bridge between cultural perspectives that seldom understand each other. There are so many wonderful new ideas--many of which draw upon ancient wisdom--that struggle for recognition and acceptance from the rest of the culture that is ordinarily referred to as “mainstream.” I feel a personal resonance and a breadth of experience in both worlds. That resonance, combined with a deep-rooted capacity for empathy and many years of communication and media development, make me uniquely well-suited to provide engaging messaging that calls for personal and planetary transformation. We deserve to co-create a better society that encourages and nurtures the best in all of us.
Principles I endeavor to embrace:
* A strong belief in the body’s nearly unlimited ability for regeneration.
* A strong belief in the value of nurturing a sense of self-empowerment and self-determination for all humanity.
* A strong belief in the value of love and compassion to transform one’s own life and the society we live in.
Professional Experience
During my years as corporate video producer I won two national awards and produced a documentary on the nonviolent movement to stop nuclear testing in the Nevada desert. "Peace Test: Nonviolence in Action" had a long-running airing on local public access TV. As part of a volunteer special project in 2001, I also produced an educational video, “Your Voice Matters,” which was widely used by women across Oregon to lobby their state legislature for better funding for women’s safety and health.
In August 2011 I finished a vocal exercise DVD, “Unified Voice-Works: A path to Healing, Integration and Performance,” hosted by Unified Voice-Works creator and singer/songwriter, Heather Hutton. Her DVD features 11 original voice therapy exercises. For more about the Unified Voice-Works workshops: https://www.heatherhutton.com/vocal-coaching.
My writing experience includes 3 blogs and a number of newsletter articles for my current employer, Beyond Toxics, a fundraising letter for a human rights non-profit, a feature film screenplay (Sweet Life); a two-act play; a variety of educational video scripts and a great many essays and opinion pieces (some published). See my writing samples page for more details.
Originally from the Chicago area, I was born with a natural inclination towards empathy, creativity and an appreciation for fine details and raised by parents who had ideas a little out of the mainstream. This has helped me think “out of the box.” I have developed an appreciation for many perspectives and honed the skill of diplomacy out of a deep fascination with--and respect for--people of all kinds.
