I grew up in a small farm town in northern NH during the fifties and sixties. A nature lover from the start, in some ways, it's been my church. In '74 I graduated from UNH with a BA in Biology then, in '76, a Masters in the Art of Teaching. I taught chemistry and biology for thirty years in NH, Me., and Az. In 2004 I purchased a large, forested parcel of land on which I had my home built. In 2005 I started my business, Forest Circles, where I develop and teach classes on the healing arts, do energy healing sessions, and host programs showcasing a large variety of cultural spiritual traditions. As a first time author, I am thrilled with the reception my memoir, "When My Mother was a Mountain," has gotten.
