"Instead of struggling against the force of confusion, we could meet it and relax"

Pema Chodron

Spiral Knot

With a lifelong dedication to alternative medicine, I have spent nearly fifty years as an Ethnobotanist, deeply committed to enhancing the quality of life through herbal, nutritional, and lifestyle approaches. My work has allowed me to support and care for multiple generations of families, guiding them toward better health and well-being.

My journey in alternative medicine has included participation in a research project with Advanced Health Technologies, where I provided auricular acupuncture to incarcerated individuals in Minnesota. This initiative, aimed at reducing recidivism among convicted drug offenders and rapists, reflects my commitment to exploring innovative ways to foster healing and rehabilitation.

Additionally, I operated a free acupuncture clinic for three years, offering accessible care to those in need.

These experiences have naturally led me to the field of Conscious Dying, a practice that transcends the end-of-life process. Conscious Dying is also about living with intention and purpose, embracing life with awareness and authenticity. By engaging in and promoting the death-positive movement, I aim to inspire meaningful conversations about end-of-life matters, reminding us that healing is possible at any stage of life, right up to our final breath.
