Hello there!
Lovely to meet you :) 
My name is

I am passionate about being the embodiment of creative service.  
This honours my self-expression as much as it inspires + nourishes me to be working closely with other beautiful souls.

My specific joy is companioning others to feel a powerful vitality that comes from love of life + love of self.
The primary indicators of this kind of wellness = 

• bright, shining sparkly eyes 
• a playful, easy, if not sometimes trepidatious relationship with the unknown
• the ability to choose lightness + laughter at will
• resilient trust in pleasure
• a tenacity for courage, discomfort, facing challenges + appreciating work
• the ability to honour paradoxes
• Honouring the wisdom of the body wherein disease + illness are viewed as opportunities for physical, emotional, intellectual + spiritual healing as opposed to forces to be conquered

Presently I work to achieve these aims by being a 
Artist, Hand Analyst + Hospice Palliative Care Nurse,  
I am on the evolutionary path of becoming a working artist, social entrepreneur, innovative death-literacy teacher + rockstar modern palm reader. 

I want to find more focused, larger platforms to mischievously + delightfully source out vitality + raw authenticity from those who work with me.  It is my back-door approach to influencing policy that will improve how we look after our cherished elders as they approach the natural end of their life from both an institution + cultural reform perspective.

I wish to be a force in offering people the choice to be able to die awesome everyday both literally + figuratively, whether it is transitioning from life to death or in choosing to trust the unknown moment-to-moment, which in itself is a kind of death.
                
Everything starts from here :)
