But there is more to me than that. Here's what you should know. "I love to tell the story..." starts an old evangelical hymn. "Telling the story" is a large part of what I do as a healer, teacher, writer and lecturer. Everything in my story leads back to the great "story" of the origin and practice of Christian Science. I have practiced Christian Science professionally, helping people find solutions to business, relational, physical, financial, mental, emotional, family problems, and more, in my practice for over 40 years.
What lit the fire in me. My journey with Christian Science started in a Sunday school where as a young child I was taught the Scriptures and some simple basics of Jesus' method of Christian healing. At the age of twelve I experienced the great potential of this Science. After an accident while mowing the lawn, my foot was badly damaged. I prayed the way I had learned in Sunday school. Within moments the pain stopped and healing began. By the next morning the wound had disappeared without a trace - a remarkable and eye-opening experience. There would be no turning back.
Early professional experience. Nine years as a Christian Science nurse gave me up-close and firsthand observation of healing through prayer. During this time I was taught and mentored by a Christian Science teacher who gave me important definition and direction in how to heal. These opportunities to observe and learn from other experienced Scientists set me squarely on the path to the work I do today.

My first office as a Christian Science practitioner opened in 1989. Since then I have been appointed several years to the international Christian Science Board of Lectureship and have served the community in other capacities, - most notably as the point person for Christian Science to public authorities, the legislature and the media in New Jersey, USA. I am also a writer and teacher of Christian Science.

And now. An American native, I am married, with one daughter, son-in-law and a darling grandson, and live full-time in France. Much of the year you will find me in my office in central Paris praying for others, consulting on Christian Science, writing articles for magazines and newspapers, and teaching.
Underlying each role is my great love for "the old, old story of Jesus and his love" that is alive and well today in the practice of Christian Science healing.
