About Me
Greetings!
Through this website, I hope to nurture our Caritas spirit by mentoring wellness practices. Grounded in Caritas principles of Being-Belonging-Becoming, I foster inner connection and personal growth toward wellness rooted in loving-kindness. This is a sacred space to harmonize mind, body, and spirit.
Several years ago, I found myself navigating personal grief while also facing burnout. I saw signs of emotional frailty. Though I had decades of experience as a nurse, I realized I had been neglecting my own heart. To begin a healing journey, I consciously worked on finding a balance for mind, body, and soul. I integrated practices of yoga, meditation, and immersion in nature. These Caritas practices helped me restore my balance.
As a longtime yoga practitioner, I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) in Hatha yoga and certified in Yin yoga, having received my training on the island of Kaua‘i, Hawai‘i. I have a certification in forest bathing, and I draw strength and insight from these holistic Caritas practices.
I am a registered nurse with over 40 years of experience and a Caritas Coach® trained by the Watson Caring Science Institute. I’ve authored and co-authored articles and books that focus on integrating the human caring theory into both personal and professional life.
Take a step toward wellness and join me for a free 30-minute mentoring session called 'Cup of Tea.' You also can join a weekly, 30 minute live-streamed gentle yoga session on the free Insight Timer app. These are every Thursday at 4 PM CT.
Let’s walk this journey together and gently refuel our Caritas spirit.
With loving-kindness,
K

"I am so grateful I could attend the chair yoga today with you ! There was “grace “ there in the movement . Love your talk on grace…the first thing I thought when you asked what is grace was that it’s in the breath.. in and out. And, grace is in the spaces between breaths ,between music notes 🎶 between thoughts of love. I wrote a poem about grace a while ago ..now I’ll probably go through my journals to find it! 😊Thanks for the smile and your light …keep shining bright! "

Frequently asked questions
What is 'Caritas'?
Caritas is Latin for Cherish and Love. I use a theoretical approach to mentoring that is rooted in loving-kindness (Caritas).
I never tried yoga but want to try. How should I start?
Yoga is for everyone, all body types, and is more than poses/movement. We include mindful meditation and breath work. Let's start by developing an individualized plan. I would recommend signing up for a ‘Cup of Tea' so we can talk!
How much will mentoring cost?
We begin with a free 'Cup of Tea' to talk about our individualized plan. A comprehensive mentoring experience includes 3-5, 1-hour sessions for $50.00 per session.
