She was born in Massachusetts and came to find Seaside Center as her Spiritual Home in 2011 after moving to Encinitas by way of NYC & Chicago.

Lori’s mission is to introduce the principles of Spiritual Leadership and altruistic love and purpose into professional settings. Lori’s life has been blessed with many colorful opportunities for growth inclusive of adoption, job transitions and more recently separation from her husband of 22 years

In her time at Seaside, she has served as Treasurer and VP of Seaside’s Board of Directors, Event Marketer and as Editor and Writing coach for Reverend Christian.

She is well schooled in the subjects of Special Needs, LGBTQ and finding one’s Dharma.

Watching her children become powerful resilient expressions in the world, brings her great joy as they enter young adulthood. She is a huge dog lover and devotes much time to philanthropic efforts in animal welfare.
