| Introduction | I am a life coach using sandtray in the San Francisco Bay Area. Based on the free and spontaneous play of childhood, the sandtray is an invaluable pathway to our psychic life. People have described the sandtray process of freely and spontaneously arranging miniature figures in the sand as thinking in pictures. It is a snapshot of our interior world at any given moment, one that is inaccessible by conscious thought but clearly visible in the three dimensional world of the sandtray. My practice blends the practical virtues of life coaching--defining goals and formulating plans to achieve them--with the deep exploration possible in the sandtray. This unique formula enhances the process of self-discovery, insight and personal transformation. Sandtray coaching benefits writers and visual artists exploring creative potential and overcoming blocks. But it also has practical value for people in transition, golfers trying to perfect their mind game, retirees trying to structure a new life, overworked mothers trying to cope with it all, or people just wanting to know themselves better as they confront life's inescapable challenges. |
| Interests | Writing, cooking, literature, photography, art, classical music, blues music, any music that makes me want to move my body around, dancing, dance and other performance art, museums, museums, and more museums, decorative arts, sandtray/sandplay/worldplay, films (the artsy kind), movies (the fun, escapist kind), psychology, travel, almost anything else that does not involve long division, diagramming sentences, or repairing machines or appliances, golf, sports, the SF 49ers, the internet, my iPhone, but above all, my family, friends and my Irish heritage |
| Favorite Movies | Pinocchio, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Room with a View, Love Actually, all Kurosawa, all Michael Kakoyanis, and others too numerous to mention |
| Favorite Music | Bach, almost anything pre-1850 classical, Irish ceoli music and traditional songs, Glenn Miller, the Beatles, and so much more, anything choreographed |
| Favorite Books | To have to list them all would be a punishment, the formative ones were A Jumping Off Place, read when I was a child, God of All Things, The English Patient, the Greek plays, Cannery Row, The Golden Notebook, Anna Karenina, Jane Eyre and the hundreds and hundreds that clog my home because to part with a favorite book is akin to a criminal act for me |
