After designing and building a super-insulated home, she directed her attention to creating a family with husband Charles and raising their two children Graham and Lizzie.
Through years of study, spirituality emerged as a primary force in her life and Nancy's attention shifted again from gross to subtle energy and healing. Nancy sought out the foremost teachers in healing including Grandmother Bernice Falling Leaves, Barbara Brennen, Rosalyn Bruyere, The Center for Intentional Living Program in Depth Psychology. She established a healing practice in 1993 as a nationally certified body worker. Her work combines bodywork, psychology and spirituality in a way reminiscent of the ancient mystic traditions and is acknowledged for its intuitive insight, compassion and wisdom.
