And A Little More ... The Formal Stuff
I've worked as a Health + Fitness Program Coordinator, Health Coach, Special Education and Hospital/Homebound Teacher (K-12), Elementary School Counsellor, Mental Health Specialist, School District Department Head and currently work as the Therapist/Owner of MD Therapy.
I have degrees in Kinesiology, Special Education and Counselling Psychology, as well as post-graduate certifications in Narrative, Cognitive-Behavioural, Mindfulness, Play and Art Therapies, among many others.
I own Redsand Creative, a graphic design company specializing in brand development and print media.
​
I enjoyed a long career as a competitive swimmer and lifeguard and spent many years as a swim instructor and coach of kids aged 4 to 20.
I have degrees in Psychology and Graphic Design + Illustration, with many Fine Arts and Life Drawing classes along the way.
With everything we create we try to bridge the gaps between age-old wisdom, current research and real world application, so that we may each live more fully from our Zenter.
