Drumming: A Pathway to Transformation

Throughout my journey from scientist to life transitions mentor, drumming has been a constant companion, offering a unique blend of scientific insight and ancient wisdom. This page is a testament to the diverse ways drumming has enriched my life and the lives of those I guide. Each rhythm tells a story, each beat a step towards healing and growth.

My book about women and drumming, published by Womancraft Publishing, is coming out in 2025
