TCC Never Left Me

Accreditation was such a rewarding experience. Daniel is a stern but gentle teacher and I learned so much from him. I also learned a lot about myself and enjoyed bonding with my fellow teachers. It was awesome to have Pam Towne and Carmen there as well; we got to learn from the best.

Why I became a teacher… in the early 1990s I was living in Arizona and could not get through the pain from a major loss. So I sought out a grief counselor, Sharon Edwards, who was also a T’ai Chi Chih teacher. She had me doing TCC weekly with her for almost five years, which was a big help with the grief process. When I returned home to Colorado, I stopped doing TCC for about 15 years because I was busy as a single mom. I may have left TCC but it never left me. Once again I found myself with another major loss so I sought out TCC again. I realized then that I really want to help others by teaching because it has helped me so much. I want to help seniors with their health, and possibly grief, since as they get older they start losing so much.
