I started in front of the camera at five years old, landing my first audition as SALLY BROWN in the PEANUTS cartoons. I was fortunate to work non-stop until my early teens, when I was introduced to drugs and alcohol, and my life began to fall apart.
I thought by earning my degree as a Licensed Vocational Nurse, working in hospitals and clinics I would heal my childhood wounds and experience a life different from what I was brought up in. Unfortunately, childhood trauma wounds continued to drive my addiction and all my decisions from then on.
I was introduced to the world of Recovery in 1983 and understood the nature of my malady. I discovered that I was suffering from a mind, body and soul dis-ease. Putting down my addiction(s) was only the beginning of my recovery. I was introduced to John Bradshaw and began healing by doing inner child work. I was no longer the victim of my life, I became the victor of my life.
Through my many relationships with well known alcoholics in recovery, psychiatrists, and therapists, I have created a set of guidelines and principles that I share with others to help them achieve freedom from their old belief system, and past wounds that lead them toward a world of suffering that they can not escape. This suffering shows up in many different ways for everyone and our human tendency to bury this pain-resurface again and again…no matter our status, gender, or title.
With over four decades of diverse experience, I’ve dedicated my life to inspire audiences as a Motivational Speaker and create captivating performances in the Women Empowering space. I am available for Keynote speaking, seminar presentation and small groups. My unique perspective has equipped me in helping women overcome adversity, help heal trauma wounds, assist in using their scars to thrive, advocate for themselves, create a renewed passion and romance for life, and experience a mindset shift towards achieving life goals.
Besides being a successful Inspirational Speaker, I am a working Commercial Actress, successful Print Model, and I guest starred on a number of television shows and featured films.
However, just as Connie Francis wrote, I too “would like to be remembered not for the highs I've reached, but for the depths from which I've risen.
