Training, Teachers, and Influences

I’ve been blessed with an amazing array of opportunities to study in diverse fields, often under world-class teachers. They all weave together to create an integral approach.

I haven’t invented anything other than the unique configuration of learnings that have come my way. In my twenties, a colleague called me “the master of synthesis.” While I’m a bit shy of the “master” title, I will go with “student of synthesis.”

Here are a few of the many influences of my life, all of which inform my work with my clients:
