Currently reside in Vancouver, BC. Coping with a chronic illness that has so far defied definitive diagnosis. Still want to dance. I can still paint, sculpt and write and practice yoga each day. Would like to teach yoga and dance therapy to others disabled by chronic illness, just lack the energy to do anything administrative and have limited windows of energy.
