I'm Paige...professionally I am an acupuncturist, herbalist, and death doula. My work is fueled by a desire to bring compassionate, holistic care to people on all points of life's journey. A connection to the Buddha-dharma has added another dimension to my services. Its capacity to support healing, awareness, and peace in life and death is invaluable.

As I am drawn deeper into my study and practice, the challenge of balancing worldly duties looms with significant pressure. While I am not choosing to live full-time in a nunnery or a cave, a great deal of my waking life is immersed in study, practice, contemplation and meditation. While the Tibetan Healing Chö ceremonies are the only public offering as of now, I hope to have more in the future. I would also like to offer greater support as I consistently aim to give back to the traditions from which I am benefitting.

As of now, part of that is through subsidizing nunneries. In the fall, it will include a pilgrimage to Bhutan to sponsor a full-day Chö ceremony, another Chö in a nunnery, and to document the nearly extinct traditional Chö dances. If you feel called to support this work, you will be included in a monthly Medicine Buddha healing ceremony. If you are able to offer an amount of $100 or more, you can receive a private concise healing Chö session (either virtually or in-person). All funds will go toward travel costs and offerings to local monasteries/nunneries.

As always, it is my hope and intention that these efforts contribute to the benefit of all beings!
