About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To entertain and help people change their lives through the use of hypnosis and the power of their own mind. And spread joy and the healing power of laughter to as many people I can.

ABOUT ME

I perform stage hypnosis at comedy clubs and other venues and I also work with clients to help them lose weight, quit smoking, and make other changes in their life. I also practice and teach massage therapy and Reiki. I'm laid back, easy to get along with, and pretty funny. But not all the time, sorry :( LOL.

PHILOSOPHY

The way is the goal. Trying to enjoy the journey and not just the destination.
And I really enjoy and resonate with the following quote by Zig Ziglar, "You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't have a place for people to crash right now but I'd be happy to show you around, give you a ride, or go on a hike.

I'd like to meet new people as I go around the US and eventually abroad doing comedy and exploring the world.

Once at a very unusual place in Portland. Turned out to be a positive experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught Massage Therapy for 4 years. I am also a Reiki Master Practitioner. I am well versed in performing and hypnosis as well. I like learning new stuff all the time. Especially as it relates to personal development & health and wellness. Currently practicing Qi Gong and Yoga and would like to study both more as well as Tai Chi and other martial arts.
