I am a health care provider by profession and passion.  I am a birth advocate and have worked in the natural childbirth movement for 25 years. I dabble in ceramic and mosaic art, knitting, and drawing; I find that I serve as a space holder for people in many settings having organized/or sponsored a wheel chair basketball group, yoga classes, a food co-op, and local CSA.  I am involved in movement which includes yoga and Tai Chi.  I live in the "country" by a Creek almost long enough to be a river, love to fish, spend time outdoors,and photograph the natural world.  I am involved in non-profit organizations that support ideals that I cherish such as tolerance, conservation, the environment, and spirit.
