Following our Passions

What or who is your passion? Do you jump at the opportunity to experience it while you can?

I originally moved out to California for reasons and circumstances beyond my control. At the time, I was working toward a Bachelors Degree (Physical Therapy) in The Netherlands and although my first year was thoroughly enjoyable, I continued to feel like it wasn't my "true calling". Now, a year later, I am blessed with an incredible knowledge of massage therapy, along with the skills to heal and help people on a variety of different levels. With still so much to learn and a desire to better myself, I feel like I can't just stop here.

Recently, I've grown aware of my connection to children. I have loved and learned from many, and been given the opportunity to value their honesty and overall passion for life and truth. Their openess and acceptance of others has been an inspiration to my lifestyle and how I choose to live. Taking every opportunity I can to learn and influence those around me, I have been offered a position at Keystone Children's Center in Keystone, Colorado.

I've gratefully accepted this invitation, though I will miss working with the children at Anna Yates Elementary through the Emery Ed Fund. I know that this lovely new change will inspire and motivate me to continue on my journey to find my true self -- with all those wonderful smiles that make it all the more enjoyable.

Massage to the People

What have you done in your past that inspires you... motivates you... creates happiness in your being... that you haven't done in a while? Why haven't you done it? What's holding you back?

I just got done giving a massage to my friend Brian who is designing a website and blog page for me as I type.
I've recently gone to an awesome yoga session called Yoga to the People based in Berkeley, CA. They also have one opening in the Mission in San Francisco.

I continue to be inspired by it, even though I don't go as often as I want, or am motivated to do.
