Welcome to Gypsy Woman Cafe!
Thanks for stopping by! This is not your typical travel blog… and I suppose, I am not your typical traveler! Join me at Gypsy Woman Cafe for a cup of adventure and a sip of wisdom.
In 2011 at the age of 40, I began what unfolded into a five year international escapade. Over those years I found myself in Germany, France, Austria, South Korea and Thailand. I made my way through leaps of faith, supported risks, creative work exchanges and teaching English.
I have been back in the US since Spring 2016, but I continue to explore ways to grow and nurture my gypsy spirit! In this blog I seek to share, uplift, inspire and nurture the gypsy in all of us.
I also aim to keep it real and offer some of my own challenges, opportunities and solutions along the way. In addition to travel, I also write about:
- Natural Health & Healing
- Spirituality &
- Life’s Journey
Here’s a taste of what you’ll find:

A Sip of Wisdom
Years before I took the travel leap, and still today, I have had a hearty helping of personal challenges. Equally so, my cup runneth over with new experiences, lessons and tools to help me grow along the way. I love to share about them! I humbly offer A SIP OF WISDOM.
Some of my favorite topics include Spirituality and Natural Health & Well-being
Spiritual Practices
I have been a Reiki practitioner for over ten years. I am also an appreciative student of the following spiritual practices and organizations: Yoga, Art of Living, Soka Gakkai International. I have found all of these practices to offer concrete benefits that make a daily impact on the quality of my life.
Healthy Eating
Ten years ago I cut sugar and caffeine from my diet for health reasons and began an ongoing journey exploring the direct impact that food has on my health and well-being. Changing my diet has made a huge difference for me and could help you too.
Natural Health
More recently I have added Young Living Essential Oils to my repertoire. I am amazed at the numerous ways these oils can support natural health. From toxin-free laundry to support with stress-relief, it’s a joy to explore the infinite ways these quality oils support healthy living.
Join me as I explore these and related topics with a hearty serving of personal experience, humility and integrity offering ideas and resources to benefit your own life. Here is a good place to start:
