Introduction I’m a lover of people, nature, spirit, and stories. We carry these in our hearts and minds, and they change how we see ourselves and others. A psychiatrist for the past 40 years, I’m also a coach and mentor to physicians and other creative professionals who are transforming their lives through burnout and beyond. I'm fortunate to have been a student of Self-I-Dentity Through Ho'oponopono with Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len and others, since 2005. A near-death experience in 2016 immersed me in the intelligent energy (or Mana) behind all life. I saw that the entire universe is made of this energy, so that the same powerful yet intimate guidance is available to us all. Underlying all spiritual traditions, the 3 Principles of Mind, Consciousness, and Thought (as described by Sydney Banks) have deepened my life ever since – bringing forward even more love, understanding, and clarity than I had imagined before.
Interests Health, healing, nature, hiking, indigenous cultures, music, writing, wildlife, deserts, mountains, oceans, ho'oponopono, Hawaii, spirituality, entrepreneurship, business, mindfulness, self-compassion
