My Own Story

A Bit About Me

I tell stories from my heart, so Heart Tales seemed a a fitting name to give this work. I’ve been a storyteller since 1991 and belong to the National Storytelling Network, the Healing Story Alliance, and the Network of Biblical Storytellers.

The True Spirit of My Work

I lead people, using stories of healing, wisdom, and faith, as they seek to connect their hearts to their true selves, to others, and to God, When people hear, embrace, live, and tell a story that speaks to their innermost longings and deepest hurts, a soul-transforming journey begins.

How I Use Stories

I draw from a wide variety of folktales and fairytales as well as personal and sacred stories. Using these, I lead discussions, exercises and workshops that help people live and tell the stories they have heard and embraced. For details, see the Audiences page.
