Dale was introduced to the Science of Mind philosophy in the Baltimore area about 1990, eventually completing the three years of classes, which at the time, completed the requirements for the spiritual practitioner license (different from the current requirements).
Professionally, Dale was a psycho-spiritual therapist, serving many underserved populations such as the homeless population, acute care (for three men and one women), prisons, nursing facility patients and private practice clients.
She dedicated 25 years volunteering extensively within a 12-step program, creating new meeting groups, developing the Mid-Atlantic Intergroup and serving on the national board.
Retired for some years now, she enjoys a variety of music, films, theater and the arts, reading books, and loves being outside for walks in the Spring and Autumn – most times in the company of her beloved 17 year-old dog, Oliver.
