It cannot be changed without changing our thinking."

Why this work?

I've always noticed patterns. I never thought much about it until I studied Fine Arts and Chinese Energetic Medicine—looking back, I realized I'd been observing the world that way all along.

Whether I was working with clay, designing textiles, photographing nature, building technology, or studying psychology, I found myself returning to the same questions.

Why do we repeat the same patterns and make the same decisions we wish we didn't?

What happens when we interrupt them?

How do we learn to trust ourselves enough to choose differently?

Those questions continue to drive my passion for this work.

For more than 25 years, I built digital products and led teams in technology. I loved building products, creatively solving problems, moving between the big picture and the details, and supporting my teams. Along the way, I became just as interested in how people think, communicate, and work together as I was in the products we were building.

At the same time, I was exploring Qigong, Chinese Energetic Medicine, Daoist life mapping, spiritual practices, and other disciplines because I wanted to understand an experience I'd had through energy work—what it was, why it worked, and how it connected to everything else I'd studied. Rather than finding separate answers, I found different ways of exploring the same questions.

I created The Still Point Works to help people recognize, release, and repattern what's keeping them stuck, so they can trust what they know to be true for themselves.

Drawing on the disciplines I've spent years studying and practicing, I begin by understanding your patterns. Together, we do the work that creates lasting change, so you can move forward with greater clarity.

I'm still asking those same questions and suspect I always will.
