I have had a lifelong commitment to holistic living and the study of innovative approaches to wellness. My first epiphany was in 1966 when I read Silent Spring and The Jungle in high school. By the time I graduated in 1969, I was a vegetarian, and my senior term paper was annotated with quotes from Kishnamurti, Gandhi, Carson and others. Earth Day 1970 was another life-changing moment. I have been a Bodyworker and a Yoga Teacher since 1976, and a Somatic Psychotherapist since 2004. From 1996-1998 I was the Host and Producer of a weekly television show on health issues. As a Spa Director and Spa Consultant I have been an innovator in implementing a sustainable, organic, and locally sourced philosophy in the resort spa arena. My specialty in bodywork is working with people who are in chronic pain and I facilitate wellness workshops that address healthy living/ eating/ product choices in various venues, including cancer support centers. www.riley-school.com
