I got to a point in my life when I was crushed and driven to my knees praying: “Goddess Kuan Yin, out of your great compassion for your helpless child, please help me heal and, if I make it, I promise to help others heal too”.

Deep down I knew there was another way and I was determined to find it.

I quit my job, sold my Mercedes, and set out on my quest to seek awakening.

I moved to Nepal, served and learned from the greatest hits of enlightened Yogis of our time.

I trained in rigorous Buddhist practices, sat in solitude meditation retreats in a sealed room cut off from the world for a total of 7 months.

I met the Dalai Lama. I visited holy places in Nepal and Tibet, and I attended to my own inner shadow places .

I became a certified macrobiotic chef, yoga teacher, trauma healing facilitator, fascia fitness trainer and studied Buddhism,  traditional Chinese medicine, brain science and neurophysiology.

And I turned down three more promising legal positions.
