I am a performing artist and health & wellness practitioner. I am currently working on my digital platforms and presentations. Before COVID, I worked as a professional dance & performance artist in the Bay Area Oakland/San Franciso for 20 years
. Due to these unexpected health issues, I have had to take a hiatus from dance and focus on the healing practice of meditation and Kemetic Yoga. It has affected my dance/movement and ability to eat. I have researched various practitioners who have been on my side chiropractor and master nutritionist Dr. Grafeo, and Dr. Conte with Peace Health.
The money I am raising will go directly to the scheduling of treatment out of the country, flight, lodging, and food and I looking for a temporary caregiver in the Pacific Northwest area, I would like to compensate this person on top of what they get from the state
I am thankful for my Mother who has been there every step of the way, and the many loved ones who have supported, prayed, and given me love during my challenging time.
