My Story….

My professional story began in the Information Technology field.  Becoming more entrepreneurial, I launched my own small business as an I.T. consultant that spanned over 10 years.  Even though I was financially very successful, I was still feeling unfulfilled and questioning my purpose and my values. Those feelings were slightly alleviated by my passion for sea kayaking that in turn inspired me to become a Kayak Instructor. This brought me  immense joy and satisfaction as I received ongoing appreciation from students for an experience that allowed them to grow and expand their abilities on the water.

At this time, a friend recommended that I also look at meditation as a  method of dealing with stress and anxiety that accompanied my feelings of disillusionment.  I started taking meditation classes, connected with other like-minded individuals in the meditation community and volunteered at a meditation studio. I began to notice a profound change in my demeanour and those around me noticed as well.

A Marketing Diploma from the University of Toronto and subsequent work in that field addressed the financial commitments of my life, while I  continued to pursue this new passion through reading, learning and practicing meditative techniques.
