Highlights

My best work so far:
"Fabrics For Better Living: Natural Threads To Support People and Planet" delves into the fascinating world of natural fibers to uncover their myriad benefits, extending far beyond mere fashion statements. The book explores the environmental impact of five natural fibers: hemp, linen, bamboo, organic cotton, and wool. It will also showcase how their biodegradable nature and sustainable production processes are crucial in our search for better health and the fight against environmental degradation. | BUY THE BOOK ON AMAZON as a downloadable kindle book

E-learning

Nutrition and Healthy Habits for Your Brain was the result of a self-directed software learning project using Articulate, arguably the best tool available for authoring e-learning projects. I created it over the course of a one month software trial period. The material for the project was primarily derived from a slide show designed in collaboration with a local nutritional consultant.

Websites

Northwest Light Therapy
A natural health and wellness website. I chose to focus on light and energy therapies and the promotion of the benefits of an organic, plant-based, whole foods lifestyle.

from the home page:
We as human beings have been shaped by a billion years of evolution. The road to improved health, no matter what your illness or pain or condition, is best traveled by paying attention to and honoring how Mother Nature designed us to live. The frequency that resonates from and through Gaia is a mere 7.83 Hz. That’s a whole lot slower and lower than just about anything in the built environment of modern life. We have evolved to be who we are by living in harmony with the rhythms and cycles that are as old as life on the planet.
