To transform helping professions and service-oriented organizations (hospitals, schools, community orgs, etc.) into spaces that sustain everyone - the humans giving and receiving the care.

I believe those of us who have a sturdy individual hierarchy of needs, have a collective responsibility to make that a reality for others.

I’ve lead myself and my work from these core values:

• Love (everybody’s in)

• Integrity (wholeness)

• Vitality (aliveness)

• Equity (if this word throws you off, try Ethics…)
