About Northern Star

Northern Star is the name for both of the professional hats I wear: writing and t’ai chi instruction. In my daily practice of these two endeavors, I strive for creative expression, careful research and study, and a clear, complete recounting of the “story,” whether it’s written or physically enacted.

I began studying t’ai chi in 2000 with Maedée Duprès, internationally renowned t’ai chi instructor, dancer and choreographer.  I received instructor training and certification from Maedée at Open Wings T’ai Chi Studio in 2006, and I’m a certified Level II instructor with the American Tai Chi and Qi Gong Association.

I am also a published author with decades of communications experience in the private and public sectors. I’ve loved writing since I first picked up a pencil.
