Earon's Expanded Environmental Resume
 

My early career focused on environmental health law and policy.  After 2001, I decided to expand more fully into practical health and wellness issues, influenced by my experience as a full-time parent.  Writing has been a common thread in my work, but parenthood had expanded my awareness from intellectual processing of information to hands-on and emotional processing.   My next step was to experience life as a bodyworker and then build a new writing career that integrated my various life experiences.  As I have been known to say, life is a strange school.
