Hello from semi-upstate NY!

I’m in the Albany area. Grew up here, moved downstate and lived in New Paltz/High Falls for college, then New Mexico for a couple years and moved back here about 12 years ago.

I’m a Holistic Health Counselor and have a small private practice. Before that I worked in Domestic Violence for about 10 years, prevention programs first and then managed a shelter for a number of years. Now I work helping women heal their relationships with food and the world around them. I love what I do.

I have a 13 year old daughter who I am very close to. She is an awesome quirky kid who is doing her own thing in the world. She is homeschooled and spends a lot of time doing theater internships, reading and writing books, knitting, playing in the dirt, and hanging with her equally quirky friends.
Also living in the house are Lucky the black lab, Oma and Ella the cats, and a few thousand honey bees. Well, the bees are out in the back yard. They are one of my daughter's projects. I like when she harvests the honey.

I love riding bikes and bike touring. My daughter and I have biked across NY four times and have future intentions of biking across America.

Last year I split up with my partner of almost 10 years and have had an interesting year moving forward from that and thinking about what I want for my future self. It’s an intense and healing journey and I am happy.

Thanks for having me here on BFP!
