"Snowflakes, leaves, humans, plants, raindrops, stars, molecules, microscopic entities all come in communities. The singular cannot in reality exist." - Paula Gunn Allen
Natural Health Practitioners of Canada
As a Natural Health Practitioner, it is an honour and a privilege to sit on the Board of Directors for this proactive national organization.
As a natural health practitioner, it is amazing fun and a real joy to give back to the many volunteers in the community. I have been able to start this "Volunteer Massage" service exclusively for volunteers of the festival. They enjoy a 10-15 minute chair massage free during the festival!
As Crew Chief, I hope to bring more natural health opportunities to future Summerfolk festivals for the volunteers.

Another wonderful initiative to support local and unsigned bands by providing a venue to perform and play along some seasoned musicians, often brought in from out of town. It is a real pleasure to help this great project get recognition, and open the forum up to our community!
