ABOUT DIANE
I bring my passion for lifelong learning, 20+ years of experience as an educator, facilitator and advocate, and my empathy, compassion and humor to improving the quality of life for people from all walks of life.
My strong analytical ability to assess challenges for others guides me in developing creative strategies to assist them towards a path of greater awareness, vibrant aging, optimal physical functioning and cognitive health.
My background as a classically trained musician and position as a former Assistant Principal Cellist of the San Francisco Symphony have provided me with special insight into the challenges faced by performing artists. I also hold 3 professional certificates in the field of Gerontology: Advocacy, Advanced Behavioral and Cognitive Care, and End of Life Care and Support. My most recent career development has been training in the Principles of Healing Collective Trauma with internationally renowned teacher, Thomas Hübl.
