In 2003, after moving from Ireland to New Mexico, Pasha founded Creative Recovery™, a series of workshops that activates the creative process, empowering participants to live passionately, transforming their greatest challenges into their greatest triumphs. The program is designed for people who have reached a point of crisis and are seeking support. It is for anyone who wants to live life in search of what really matters to them. Pasha works with treatment facilities specializing in trauma, addiction, grief and loss and also brings her expertise to helping people move beyond a cancer diagnosis. See Cancer Support page.

She is a registered Yoga/Meditation teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance and a practicing Reiki Master for over 10 years. An avid world traveler, she has traveled extensively throughout Europe, India and Asia honoring and celebrating diversity in all its forms.
