I married a man nine years my junior, co-created a deeply gratifying, loving marriage, had a really fun pregnancy at 44, birthed a healthy, happy girl, and am still desiring for more!

In 2008,  I graduated from The Buddhist Chaplaincy Training Program.

For over 20 years I  have passionately served programs supporting HIV/Aids,  the homeless, the arts, prison & hospice chaplaincy, women's empowerment, natural birthing advocacy, and special needs children. I serve on the board of The Flawless Foundation; a Founder of The New Space for Women’s Health; and a Pleasure Revolutionary for Mama Gena's School of Womanly Arts Mastery Program.

A passionate fashion fan, consultant and stylist for over 20 years; I am devoted to the thrills of cheap chic, thrift shop vintage, and couture. Since 1996, I have produced fabulous vintage couture events for New York City Opera and recently created my Styling for the Soul Program which inspires women to create instant chic to turn them on and feel alive.
