I have always been self-employed, following my intuition and taking opportunities as they presented them-selves to me.
In the 1970s, I was an artist creating large dimensional wall hangings in Toronto. I
graduated from Canadian Mother Craft College and from George Brown College. I trained in for 6 years in Hatha Yoga at the Sivananda Yoga Center. For one year, I lived in Guatemala with the Mayan Indians and also explored many of the Mayan pyramids.
In the 1980s, I sailed all the Caribbean, working as a gourmet cook on private yachts for 3 years. In 1983, I started a company called TLC Wood Finishing. We restored wood on yachts and historical buildings throughout Toronto.
During the 80s and 90s, I received years of various treatments
for releasing tension stored in my physical body. Massage,
Rolfing, Chiropractic care, Acupuncture, Shiatsu, CranioSacral
Therapy, Network Chiropractic, Reflexology, Reiki, and more. I have also taken part in many native sweat lodges and healing rituals.
I have a certificate as a Clearmind Practitioner and a level I and II Reiki practitioner. I have also taken many other courses in energetic healing. While traveling to India
three times to see Sai Babas in the Puttaparthy Ashram, I personally experienced many miracles and intensive cleansings.
I sold TLC in 2000 and bought a large property in Hillsburgh,
where I created the Chicchan Retreat Centre.
In January 2004, I returned to India; this time to the Oneness University. I noticed a shifting in awareness, and my friends noticed a huge shift in my emotional well-being and physical appearance. I immediately sold my Hillsburgh property and moved to Elora. I returned to the Oneness University
in March 2005 and was initiated as a Deeksha Oneness Blessing
Giver. I also completed the 10-day Deepening Process in January 2006.
The Oneness Blessing process has lead me to a wonderful feeling of peacefulness in just BEING. That feeling is now accompanied
by a profound feeling of acceptance and gratitude of what is. This complements and completes all my other studies and practices in emotional, spiritual, and physical healing for the past 30 years.
