I was a fundraiser for education for most of my adult career.  I worked for large non-profits and helped focus donor awareness on urgent needs, mostly for women and people of color regarding access to higher education.  While fulfilling to a point, I knew I was meant to do something more.

At 47, I changed directions and started out on a soul-searching mission by living in Hawaii for several months and then in a home by the shores of San Francisco.  The ocean always speaks to me about the infinite love and compassion of the Mother.  I felt rocked, cradled and inspired to share soothing touch and healing guided meditations to a stressed-out and suffering world.

The word, Hakasana, came to me during a meditation upon the Divine Feminine shortly after my ocean retreat.  I was seeking guidance for my purpose and was opening in a spirit of surrender.  I suddenly heard this “word” and it was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. It was a word that felt filled with love, power and flow, like a vast river of light washing over me.  As I repeated the word out loud, I knew the sounds wer opening my heart to the Divine Mother and to the Great love of the All That Is. I felt rocked and held by this word, just like the ocean.  As I continued over a period of days, weeks and months to sit with this word and this energy, as I was also studying acupressure and shiatsu (meridian) massage, I had an AHA!  That the human form is DESIGNED to receive downloads from the Divine through these amazing channels to increase health, well-being, self-esteem and ease.  The “AH” sound is frequently associated with the Divine, and combined with the “ASANA” which means in sanskrit “to sit in a Divine posture, as in the yogic tradition.”  Thus, Hakasana is a combination of what feels to me like Divine flow within the “seating” of the body.

My work is the synthesis of bodywork techniques and meditation tools, with a foundation in traditional massage, joined with energy health techniques such as meridian massage therapy and shiatsu fused with the energy of Hakasana, the Divine Flow within/without.  The word magnetizes self-love for me and I hope to share this experience with others, by simply connecting them through their natural quantum axiational points, to remember who they are.
