Bio
I recently moved to this magical town of Taos and love the opportunity to further assist those that would benefit from my care...
I spent most of my life of 65 years in the midwest, and moved to New Mexico to be close to my daughter and grandchildren.
I spend alot of time outdoors exploring with my dogs, gardening and playing with grandkids...
