With my EmpoweredTime™ process people are guided to create a blueprint that lets them take control of their time, and the result is a rhythm and order to their days for a healthier, more serene, extra productive best self.

Prior to launching Living Harmony, I held positions at WBUR and the Public Radio International show “From the Top,” respectively. My rich and varied public broadcasting life has also included working on such programs as “Sessions at West 54th” and “Humankind.” Before that I was a music industry publicist and artist manager working with performers as diverse as John Mellencamp and EMF.
My other passions include my inquisitive and interspiritual spiritual life, nurturing consciousness, creating and sharing meals with her friends and family, dancing all over the place, yoga, meditation, all sorts of music, spontaneous travel to varied destinations, tennis, theatre, film, and swimming in almost any body of water, but especially an ocean or sea. Embracing life through an open heart is always my original blessing self’s desire.
