Speaker / Performer

Welcome to my website. I'm glad you found me!

As an internationally touring professional singer/songwriter, I write and perform acoustic pop songs about many aspects of addiction recovery (with an emphasis on carbohydrate addiction). I provide live performances for virtual and face-to-face recovery intensives, treatment programs, events, conferences and trainings.

Listeners are introduced to each song and “invited in” to experience the powerful emotions and lessons conveyed. No other music artist in the world has developed as substantial a collection of informed, impactful and original content specifically addressing the disease of carb/food addiction.

Addiction Recovery Presentations - Live and Virtual!

My presentations are a dynamic combination of public speaking and music performance. Think of them as "show and tell" from the harrowing front lines of carb/food addiction. Available as both live and virtual events, they are informed by decades of lived experience, long-term remission, and professional addiction training - including three certifications directly related to carb/food addiction.

MOTIVATION and Empowerment FOR ADDICTION RECOVERY

Welcome to my website. I'm glad you found me!

The day I heard your live music performance, I had literally planned to quit my recovery program the moment I left the event. Your songs were a non-threatening way for me to hear something I really needed to hear. I was finally able to absorb the message."

I've never felt so "seen" before... Every song resonated with me.

I cried my ass off the first 20 times I played and re-played “If it Weren’t for That.” It touched childhood wounds, even now after 30 years. I’ve begun to chisel through the brick wall with glimpses of possibilities to feel connection and trust.

I’m thankful to have heard your songs because they let me know I’m not alone in this world with my dilemma. There IS hope.

I can't even put into words how impressed I am with your talent and bravery to share such personal and meaningful content. I was brought to tears several times while watching your performance. You are just so amazing!
