To develop myself and the capabilites that I bring to my personal life, family, career, and community. Although by title I am a Certified Kitchen Designer, I have felt increasingly disillusioned with my approach to my work and the industry within which that work occurs. For many years I have taken great efforts to develop myself spiritually through various modalities and techniques such as yoga, meditation, healthy eating, and exercise. I also strive to educate myself regarding emerging technologies and thought processes relevant to my career. Both "Passive House" and "Pretty Good House" have been recent discoveries which have provided an excellent source of inspiration. However, I have struggled to find the missing link between the personal and professional development. I was excited to be introduced to Regenesis and the Regenerative Practitioner Series.

I believe that there are mutliple roles through which I can both serve my clients and enrich myself. As a nurturer, I can offer guidance and bring others to a greater understanding of and a connection to the spaces they inhabit. As a technically proficient facilitator, I can help create spaces that solve specific challenges and offer a sense of well being.

I seek to broaden the resources available to me and to find specific tools that will allow me to access deeper understanding with clients as we solve challenges together.

I hope to deepen the bonds within my family, marriage, and personal relationships through greater self awareness. Working with a life coach has already steered me in directions I didn't know were possible. I hope to grow from these initial building blocks and nurture myself and those around me.

I hope to reinvigorate my creative role as a kitchen designer by providing a service, a connection, and guidance that has been lacking in my industry. I strongly believe that we are out of sync with nature and the larger communities that we inhabit which is reflected in the scope of kitchen design today. I want to reconnect clients with their own capabilites for generating wellness within their homes and communities.

I believe strongly in education and personal growth and have participated in various programs to enrich my learning. Recent work includes courses related to Passive House and "Pretty Good House" with an eye towards net zero and net positive construction. I strive for greater personal awareness and practice daily meditation while working with a life coach.

Philosophy and psychology are as important to me as design. I find solace currently in the works of Alfred Adler and the literature of Japanese author Haruki Murakami. I am intrigued by the recent resurgence of pyschedelic research and pyschedelic assisted therapies and the promise that such work may hold for our connection to nature and to each other.

I believe that all mankind is interconnected. We are all of one source without separation and that the divisions we experience are self created. By connecting to each other, to ourselves, and to nature we can more closely align with the divine self that resides within each of us.
