Welcome! Just a little intro to tell you a bit about myself. I’ve played piano since the age of 3! Fifty two years later and a day does not go by where I don’t play, and for the past four years I have performed over 1450 livestream concerts on Facebook.

For over thirty years I accompanied dancers in ballet schools across Ontario, playing for classes, exams, recitals, and performances. I also released ballet class albums for all levels which have been used in over 20,000 dance studios worldwide. I feel it to be a privilege to play a small part in bringing inspiration to dancers of all ages.

I was Co-Artistic Director of a large adult community choir ‘The Treblemakers’ for over twelve years where we performed regularly to sold out venues in several cities and towns every three to four months accompanied by fantastic professional musicians! A musical family who will forever remain in my heart as we had a good run and created many wonderful memories and friendships.

When Covid arrived, l began performing the concerts for many reasons. One of the main reasons in the beginning was to bring comfort and inspiration to the choir members who were now forced to stay in their homes, and so we played and sang together via the concerts and it helped to get through some of the difficult times. Performing the concerts eventually also became part of my survival as I was relying solely on donations from the concerts for my earnings.

Two years before Covid I became very ill and my health was deteriorating quickly with no help for my condition which at the time I didn’t realize was caused by having MCS (Multiple Chemical Syndrome). Slowly I returned to complete health just before we were told that we had to cancel our week of performances due to Covid.

Upon the arrival of Covid, my health began to deteriorate once again due to what I eventually discovered was a severe allergy to a specific chemical (propylene glycol). At one point, I weighed 105 pounds (after losing 30 pounds in a few months) and could only wear 100% organic cotton as anything else caused severe rashes and other internal symptoms. I could only eat specific food which was extremely limited and that was my meal for nearly three years as well, only being able to drink distilled water. For well over a year I stood for the concerts, as sitting wasn’t an option due to health issues. It’s been a long journey but with the help of many friends, and by prayers from everyone around the world, I have been in remission for the last two years with no symptoms.

There have been many changes in my life over the past three years and especially over the last year, and as the water passing by in the stream is never the same, each day is a new day that brings lessons and things to be thankful for. I am very thankful I have Cleo beside me as she gives unconditional love each and every day and reminds me that every day is another chance to make a difference.

I have been on the autism spectrum my entire life, although never diagnosed, I am going through the process of getting the official diagnosis. I consider it a gift, being on the Spectrum, and the experiences that go with it—even though it brings many challenges as well.  I feel very blessed to be given beautiful melodies each and every day to share with whoever needs comfort and inspiration. I am forever thankful to God and to all the angels in my life who have helped me get through the most difficult transition of my life. I look forward to seeing these melodies from The Soul’s Journey Piano Series being brought to life by my dance friends through their gift and love of dance!

I wish you safe journeys always. Thank you for your support. I rely solely on my music to earn a living. As any artist knows, it’s a journey that you take on because you are compelled to. Because it is you. It is who you are. Enjoy the journey my friends, and enjoy the music! Each day is a new day to take another step towards your dreams. One day at a time. One breath……….at a time. God bless you and your families always.
