I am a massage therapist and teacher living in Kansas City. I've been doing massage for 18 years.

I have participated in Couchsurfing in 2008, when I lived in Richmond, VA and always enjoyed meeting and getting to know the people who came to stay with me. I heard about Couchsurfing from my daughter.

I have 3 grown children living in Oakland, CA, Grenoble, France and here in Kansas City. I also have a grandchild, living in Grenoble.

I love to travel and meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My daughter first told me about Couchsurfing and it sounded interesting to me. When I lived in Richmond, VA, I had several people stay with me but let my membership lapse after that, since I didn't have room for people to stay.

I'm going on a retreat at the end of the month to Estes Park, CO and would like to break the trip up.

Interests

Personal Development - I enjoy taking classes and learning about myself and how this world works.
Music, especially singing - I'm currently in my church choir and am looking for other avenues to share my voice.
Meeting people - I've always enjoyed meeting and getting to know other people. I think it's important to keep an open mind.
I like to play board games, cards and Mexican Train dominoes.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music-Carrie Newcomer, Idina Menzel, Broadway and movie soundtracks. I really like all kinds of music and love to learn about new artists.

Movies-Practical Magic, Maleficent, Silver Linings Playbook. I like movies that have happy endings and make me feel good.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sold everything and moved to France, although I didn't know the language or anyone there. I met so many wonderful people and loved my experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

From my massage practice, I know a lot about the body and the emotions we hold in it and how it effects us.

Spiritual Laws like Law of Attraction.
Personal development tools that help release stress, shift limiting beliefs and clear phobias.
