Some people know me as a Qigong teacher. Others know me through my writing, my travels, or my book. To me, they are all expressions of the same journey: discovering how to live fully, embrace change, and find joy through every season of life.

For more than four decades, I have been an educator, a lifelong learner, and a curious explorer of life. My journey has taken me across five continents, through more than eighty countries, and into experiences that have shaped the way I see the world.

Living Life in Joy grew from those experiences.

While many people first discover me through Qigong, my work has grown to embrace something much broader: helping people live well through every season of life. Through gentle Qigong practice, reflective writing, conversation, and the wisdom gained from lived experience, I invite others to reconnect with themselves, discover new possibilities, and embrace the life that is unfolding before them.

I believe we are never finished becoming. Every experience—whether joyful or challenging—has the potential to deepen our understanding of ourselves and enrich the way we live.

As a Certified Spring Forest Qigong Trainer, I continue to share a practice that has transformed my own life and the lives of many others. Yet the heart of my work extends beyond Qigong. It is about cultivating vitality, curiosity, resilience, and joy, whatever season of life we find ourselves in.

I continue to write, teach, and learn with the same curiosity that has guided me throughout my life—still learning, still growing, and still becoming.
