Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I created a very special and cozy place called "Temple in the Trees" which is an amazing healing temple space as well as a personal retreat/sanctuary for the spirit and soul. In addition to this being my personal home, it is a sacred space devoted to all forms of healing and transformation...including therapeutic and spiritual bodywork, personal coaching and guidance, yoga, meditation, as well as other modalities. Plus, its a great place to hang out and chill and be close to nature, redwood trees, a babbling brook/creek, and lots of birds and animals. We're located just 5 minutes off the freeway in Scotts Valley, yet it's only a 10 minute drive to downtown Santa Cruz.
What I Can Share With Hosts
This is a very special, peaceful, and cozy little home. I am very easy going.... you are free to just come in and crash overnight, and/or hang around the property during the day.
