"When we devote some calm time to the heart and come off the treadmill of stress and distraction, we can enter into the beauty within." To do so "...heals you and calls you out beyond the smallness of your own self-limitation, to experience new horizons. To experience beauty is to have your life enlarged." -John O'Donohue

My artistic work sprung out of my experiences seeing the energy field in communications of color, symbol and imagery. I received a BFA in painting, but it was after college, when I began exploring energy healing, that my unique voice as an artist ignited.
In 1990’s my path as an artist and healer began weaving together and evolving, bringing experiences that revealed more of my true self to me, and illuminated where I find my joy, gifts and service.
At that time, I began a lifelong yoga and meditation practice (TM), began studying energy healing and also connecting with/realizing my intuitive gifts. While receiving and studying energy healing, I was amazed with the color and imagery I was seeing. Turns out what I thought was just pretty pictures from my imagination, was actually clairvoyant perception.
The deepening into myself, knowing myself in new ways, seeing the beauty of who we are at the level of universal/natural/divine energy, the realness of the mystical… opened my life, and influenced where I put my energy and attention.
I’d always been a bit of a mystic. As a child I spent hours out in nature, singing, being with the trees and birds and whatever else I could find. I always had a tender reverence for people, nature and animals. I remember watching Yoga and You on PBS at 4 years old. I loved it! (thanks Mom!) So it seems to me these elements have always been there, and thankfully I have been able to create a life aligned.
There are many flowers that make up my bouquet, including: Energy Healer, RN, Artist, Intuitive, Soul Realignment® practitioner, Bodyworker, certified Psychosynthesis Life Coach, and HeartMath Practitioner. I draw upon these in various ways and blends to express myself, create, and be of service to others.
Working with me comes without assumptions or judgement. I adore seeing who people are at their transpersonal soul dimension and being a person who holds possibility, hope, care, truth and kindness. Through keen intuitive gifts and healership, I enjoy supporting others in their self care and to recharge, find greater peace, clarity, wholeness, and connection with their own essence.
I’ve been assisting and supporting others for over 20 years now through my work. I also created the PrayerCards oracle deck, Art Rituals, many Guided Journeys, and intuitive painting commissions for people all over the globe.
Working with me may include intuitive guidance, clearing pathways to core essence, untangling blocks, supporting healing of physical or emotional issues, bringing balance to the chakras and (re)igniting the Light body or creating art for you. In this way, I assist people with the calls from their Self/Heart, to feel better/live better, and to be their own unique essence, truth and beauty.
I hope you feel your own inner goodness, deep mystery, inspiration, heart, peace and well-being.
