After losing my mother to ovarian cancer when I was19 years old and my mother only 55, I became very curious about energy drainage, stress and burnout. After becoming a mother myself, I soon became aware of my own energy waning as I noticed the same care-taking patterns in myself that I had learned from both my mother and grandmother. I guess you could say I was heavily weighted as a Martha and paid little attention, if any to my Mary, (From the bible story of the two sisters: Mary is the one who spent time at the feet of Jesus meditatively "being" while Martha was the one who prepared the meals and anxiously spent her time "doing"). Trying to undo that which ran generations deep, I sought out both counseling and spiritual direction for myself. I also read every self-help and parenting book I could get my hands on! Sensing a re-birth of energy within, I learned to foster, nurture and build upon it.
It was not long until I realized that this new energy I was fanning was creative and full of life. This creative life energy, as I like to call it, was connected to the Spirit of my life which contained the meaning I was seeking not just in the big things but also in the minute details of everyday life. Believing that this creative life energy is not just for the established and recognized artist but available to all who seek the Spirit in the mind, body connection, I help others listen to the creative unfolding of their own lives so they too can find meaning and authenticity for themselves.
