I have recently transitioned out of the classroom having been a high school Spanish teacher for the academically gifted for the past 33 years. I continue to tutor Spanish to keep myself in the education world. I found my way to Tai Chi in 2013 and have been happily practicing ever since. I discovered the wonderful benefits of qi gong and became a level 3 instructor in 2019. I am passionate about moving meditation, living a healthy lifestyle, natural healing and Daoism. In my quest for optimal health and wellness, I truly try to practice what I teach.
