I’m Mo. By day, I’m a school district secretary. In the rest of life, I practice Reiki, seek out Energy Medicine techniques, dabble in theatre, and thoroughly enjoy living in the middle of a wood-lined field in Marlboro Vermont. I hold a BA in Theatre and Communications from the University of Vermont. That’s where I had first become interested in breath, and the way it supports one’s voice, physically and psychologically. I came to see that breathing, posture, and the manner in which one chooses to walk change a person dramatically, as the mind and body adapt to signals and directives they interchange within one’s own personhood.

In 1990, like many young adults of the day, I first read and puzzled over Louise Hay’s “You Can Heal Your Body.” I carried its notions with me as I struggled to seek a career path. I operated a touring children’s theater for a number of years in Illinois, promoting recycling education at hundreds of elementary schools throughout the midwest and eastern states, and worked to secure employment for disabled folks, at a small, county mental health center. Meanwhile, I began to tentatively wade through many literary standards in body- mind- and energy-healing. Like many young adults, I was seeking a new way of being, and a different way of approaching life in general.

Life and its journey seemed to pause as time passed, ideas of energetic healing remained a distant dream.

Throughout the years, though, I began gradually to investigate the manner in which one’s energy could be guided and nudged toward personal growth, healing, and change. I began studying Eden Energy Medicine, and learning about chakra centers and meridian pathways, and how to support their balance. I began to integrate actions, breath and postures, with intent to foster change. Slowly and steadily, doors began to open, and changes came to take flight, in my personal life. Now I practice Transcendental Meditation, and I’ve studied Zero Balancing with Dr. Michele Doucette; I earned initial Reiki certification with Rebecca Reuter of Brattleboro, and received a Master Reiki certificate at Monroe Institute in Faber Virginia. To incorporate so many thoughts while living a busy life, I’m writing a study guide book for regular people, that outlines the biological and energetic properties of the meridians and the organs they contain or serve. I’m currently a student of The Eden Method, and I use elements of this practice at every opportunity.

Ah, my life is a work in progress. Having seen and experienced the power of energy healing, practicing humbly with “Eudaimonia” is an inevitable step in a journey that has awaited me! I welcome and encourage you, as you work toward the manifestation of your own dreams.
