Holistic Wellness Coach
Do you have a physical, mental, emotional or other challenge in your life that you desire to transform or need greater clarity and harmony with? You are the key to the solution! And having a supportive, holistic coach can help guide you to the results you seek by helping you connect with your own innate wisdom and power.
Energy Healer and Trainer
The human body, mind, and emotions are a fascinating combination of swirling, interconnected energies that are always in action. So, who is in charge of this hot mess? Spoiler alert . . . you are! Physics has proven that consciousness influences matter. Ancient sages, healers and intuitive mystics knew this from developing and using various methods to affect their own states of consciousness and enhance their well-being.

My goal is to uplift your heart and mind, and inspire you to live the wonderful life you deserve. With thought-provoking, authentic stories and humorous examples from my own experiences on the path of self-mastery, I bring a fresh perspective and empowering message to all. You are more special than you realize! Now is the time to learn “why” and what you can do about it.
Hello and thank you for visiting my page! I am an author, holistic wellness coach, energy healer, and inspirational speaker who is passionate about transforming lives. My interest in natural health and wholeness took me to the Himalayan Institute and Lesley University where I earned a Master of Arts in Holistic Studies in Mind-Body Regulation. During that experiential program I became a certified yoga therapist, was trained in Sanskrit philosophy, and learned therapuetic modalities including Hakomi, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), and nutrition.
As the three-time winner and permanent holder of the Seattle University President’s Trophy, I coached and competed with NCAA Division I athletes. I have studied and practiced ancient and modern methods of holistic health for over 35 years with internationally renowned healers and spiritual teachers. My professional background includes leadership positions in business and academic operations and I readily admit to being a table tennis geek.
Audio sample from Chapter 7 – The Death of Tennis in North Yemen
Tennis With God is a memoir that gives you a courtside seat as I swing my tennis racket from hazardous war zones to the ashram of a Himalayan guru, and eventually to Mount Shasta, an area known for its esoteric legends.
Travel with me and my family through exotic hardship posts in Africa, Asia, South America, and the Middle East. Along the way, high-level tennis and table tennis are my faithful companions, as I perfect my game and aim to earn the respect and acceptance of my overbearing father.
During my youth I became fascinated by spiritual knowledge and the paranormal. My search for self-realization and inner peace eventually led me to Dennis Adams, a mystical healer from Mt. Shasta who demonstrates miracles and has no patience for rules, “group thinking,” or cultish behavior. Under his tutelage, I begin to transform myself as I seek to find a way to heal my relationship with my father, and with myself as well.
You’ll relish your time through a remarkable, true story and photos where tennis and spirituality ultimately weave themselves into a grand adventure.
Tennis With God II, the sequel, is in the works!
