CURRENT MISSION

to realize the value in each moment no matter what that moment brings

ABOUT ME

I live life at the mercy of birthing moms, my lovely daughters (Taylor, Theo, Tessandra and Tevia), my dear husband Ed, our dogs (Buddy and Cricket) and our cats (Harry and Lloyd) and I wouldn't have it any other way. I like a full life. Can't travel as much as I would like but like to make the most of it when I can. No group tours for me. Love off the beaten path. We live pretty simply (in Scottsdale, Az? lol...can be done) Involved in the alternative healthcare community through my work and my husband's (Myopractitioner and Kihara flexibility trainer-- ask if you want to know...) We enjoy meals and a bit of tequila among friends. We both excercise as a lifestyle. My husband is a mad hiker. Spends every moment possible in the Grand Canyon. We have a diverse group of friends and I think we are pretty low maintenance and fairly interesting people

PHILOSOPHY

I look at life as an adventure. You take what you get and make the best of it. Be kind and helpful as often as you can. We are all doing the best we can... consider myself and my family very non-judgemental. I expect the same from you...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Both surfing and hosting. It's all good either way. What a diverse group of people. Love that!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had various friends of all sorts stay with me through the years. Generally great stays with a little learning thrown. Couchsurfing fits right in to my lifestyle.

Interests

living and learning. helping women to trust their bodies. staying active and healthy. dinners with friends. family time. love to find out of the way places to eat, shop, entertain. My husband is a strong hiker. We are both involved with alternative healing. We are new gardeners and enjoying putting all that together.

Music, Movies, and Books

love to read most anything. I don't choose to read fast because I like to live with a book for awhile. like most music though I can't always tell you the artist's name. like lighter movies--comedies. forget slasher movies. Ed's a guy--bring on the action flix.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

seeing babies being born is always amazing. touching grey whales in Baja was amazing. oops, that's two..

Teach, Learn, Share

anything birth related. I've been attending births as a midwife since 1984. My husband has vast knowledge of the body and healthcare. learned a few other things in my years of life. always open to learning just about anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We are both good cooks and who doesn't love to eat? I am always about sharing the work of a household also. If you live there, you maintain it! Good easy conversation and comfortable hanging out. Promise we will be self sufficient.
