Lori’s background is a dynamic mix of spiritual practice, music, theater arts, counseling, and writing.

Her study of the Craft began in 1989 through Circle of Aradia, where she earned a Ministerial credential in 1995. Her path continued into the language of energy and bodyknowing through the Tantric Dance of Feminine Power at Woman Mysteries, where she was ordained in 1997 as Priestess of Essensual Resonance, Xiama of Sound. She explains "In the dance, we experience our bodies vibrating with the current that is the life force itself. Awakened through the dance, I perceive emotional fields, sentient beings, and subtle vibrations through their ‘Essensual Resonance’, a pure harmony which I hear in my body. My gifts of crafting this resonance into music and poetry are my magickal and healing powers"

"In my work as a Ceremonial Priestess, I attune to the resonance of the ceremonial purpose: a couple’s love, a baby’s spirit, a loved one’s memory, a journey taken; then use my Essensual, Magickal skills to coalesce that resonance into language, verse, and music. I then craft a ritual informed by Tantric currents and Wiccan traditions. In facilitation, I embody the energetic essence in an accessible sphere into which participants may enter, thrive, and fulfill their intention."

Lori is an award-winning singer/ songwriter. In her extensive background in theater arts, she has written, directed and produced over 100 musical theater events for stage and television.
