Intro:

For the past 15 years, I have dedicated an important focus of my life to personal growth and as a part of that process came a natural connection from my heart to be of service and share from this nourishment with others as well. Starting at my early 20’s was a most crucial time of personal healing, to which I began intuitive exploration and study of various modalities, including: Music Therapy, Massage Therapy, Herbal Nutrition, and various Traditional Heat Therapies, and as well as into the fields of Human Relations and Psychology. Over time each of these modalities proved to be a process of expression that was a part of my resolving different areas within myself that needed love, attention, flexibility, understanding, and efforts towards a more foundational stride forward. It is an honor and pleasure to be of service and to share with others the nourishment that I have received.

Above all else, the foundation that saved my life is God. And the love that my Mother and Father shared when they prayed with me at night before I went to sleep when I was little, is the love and connection with God’s Grace that always kept me safe, always kept me aware to never let go of that pure essence inside my heart. To say yes to and to see the celebration of life. Thankful every day.

Health & Wellness Counseling Healing Arts Sessions

Pictured above is an instrument called a “Quartzophone” that consists of pure quartz crystal tubes, each precisely tuned in the scale of A=432hz.

The Quartzophone is one of the musical instruments I utilize in my Sound & Music Therapy sessions. The sonic qualities it produces, including tone and its incredible sustaining resonance, create a soundscape that can be described both as angelic and nurturing. It has been an experience for me as the player that each moment I connect with this instrument in song, it is a lullaby of prayer that the people I share with and I all receive and benefit from.

Gaudry Normand was the original inventor of this beautiful instrument and him and his wife Pauline provide exceptional care and detail with their work. If you have interest on purchasing a Quartzophone, I highly recommend visiting their website: https://www.minecristal.com/home

Pictured above are two didgeridoos in different keys, made from different woods, each producing it’s own different tonal and texture characteristics. Traditionally didgeridoos have been played by the Aboriginal people of Australia for thousands of years during times of importance. Therapeutically, the didgeridoo produces a wide range of low-frequency ultrasound waves, that when played an inch directly over the body can naturally help reduce inflammation to sites of injury, stimulate blood flow, relax the nervous system, and help support emotional trauma processing. Some people during sessions will fall asleep soon after listening while others will feel their legs wanting to dance with the rhythms and feel energized! Truly the context of both experiencing this instrument live as the player or receiver is the only space from which one can accurately understand the uniqueness and depth of this instrument. I can tell you that it naturally expresses qualities of strength, perseverance, security, grounding, warmth, and at times a confidence that is primal and quite pleasing. This was my first instrument as I began as a Sound and Music Therapist. The personal benefits, lessons learned with it, and the nourishment that others benefit from while receiving is profound. God gave us breath and from our breath we can share our efforts of love through song

Equine Vibroacoustic Therapy - Here is a truly memorable session with Silver, an amazing horse who had such a loving heart. He had cancer on his tail and loved receiving the sound vibrations from the didgeridoo to sooth over his body. One day he started to naturally dance his head up and down with the rhythm! From then on when he would listen to the didgeridoo, he would always dance and give signs he was enjoying and at other moments in the session he would relax and sleep peacefully. It was an honor to spend such special times with him.

Massage Therapy. As a massage therapist of almost 14 years, I am now retired as a practitioner professionally, however I now find my passion in sharing in depth understandings within this very dimensional modality for practitioners and people to benefit from. Massage Therapy was my first introduction into the healing arts and what an incredible blessing that was!

Nutritional Coaching - Food should be received as an intimate celebration internally. God created that nature and food be blessed nourishment for us, always, naturally. Through deeply understanding our relationship with food, we can begin to understand and address many critical aspects of our lives.

Depending on the foods that we choose to consume, food can either be in support of our health & wellness, as God naturally intended, or the food we choose can make our bodies work harder, adding to health decline and disease. If we eat fried, processed, and chemically altered foods that slow down or disrupt our internal health processes, how can we expect to have a truly healthy, happy, and fulfilling balanced life? It is logically not possible. …So the question is, are we willing to take the time and care to understand what we eat and truly why we chose to eat what we eat? For every person, this is a truly special opportunity to know life and ourselves even more deeply. Fundamentally, eating food should always be healthy, joyful, and a non-stressful, consciously clear decision, that should be joyful! And the good news is that should and can be normal. If this is an unfamiliar, sensitive, difficult, or overwhelming topic, no worries! I have helped many people and I have a compassionate and patient approach that is supportive to you whatever stage in the process you are at. My area of knowledge and focus within food nutrition is within the fundamentals of: Healthy & proper food combinations & preparations, weight-loss support, proper weight management, improving digestive health, attaining healthy energy levels, reducing brain fog & gaining better mental clarity.

Herbal Nutrition - It is amazing that there are different herbs and plants that have the capacity to address different ailments and help our various healing processes in direct connection and as designed through God’s grace. I have received and experienced deeply therapeutic benefits in this way, physically, mentally & spiritually. My philosophy relating from my experiences regards plants and herbs as food and as medicines, in which each carries different nutrients and compounds that communicates within us divine information with intended purpose, the essences and expressions of life through God’s love.

An example of a class of herbs that demonstrated this wonderfully for me are called “Adaptogens”. These herbs can be exceptional at helping a person adapt to physical and emotional stress, benefit from natural energy that is non-stimulant, and experience an improvement of different organ systems functioning better. As these benefits take place, a person may also experience a more clear way of daily interactions and decision making in their life, to which that alone can make a huge difference. Some of these plants I have personally benefited from include: Rhodiola Rosea, Wild Schisandra Berry, Ashwaghanda, and the older matured roots of Asian Ginseng. With each of them comes a special story and celebrating essence.

For me, the relating of foods, plants, and herbs as medicine comes naturally. It is a joy in which I share in oral tradition, creating a dedicated space of speaking to the heart with another, where inspiration takes place, and one’s intuition and own clarity can lead them into their prayer to God for guidance in their nourishment going forward.

Natural Light Therapy helps reinvigorate the eyes from overexposure to LED lights. As a campfire naturally produces a warmer tone of light and a healthy range of light on the spectrum for our eyes, the dancing movement of the flames along with the flickering of light, both stimulates and relaxes our eyes, connective tissues, and nervous system.

I teach people from a very natural and practical standpoint how to build a campfire and how to utilize it’s natural qualities to enjoy and support therapeutic benefits. On every continent, every culture and ancestors all the way through to ancient times, had a very logical and diverse use of fire. As a point of gathering for Family to enjoy.

Organic Hydroponic Farming & Research - The community of people world-wide who support one another in learning and research within clean and sustainable farming is astounding. I was blessed enough to connect with a good family and friends on their 5 acre agro-tourism farm where I lead an indoor organic hydroponic farming facility. There I grew Lettuce, Mustard Greens, Kale, Basil, and more on NFT systems, along with many varieties of Sprouts, Barley Grass and Wheatgrass on drip systems. In having a local community based business, I created a membership based menu of freshly grown produce greens, sprouts, and offered freeze dried products where people picked up fresh daily.

The “Hydro-House”, where we grew vegetable greens and sprouts, was also a very special place where we did educational and interactive workshops for children’s summer camps, people with special needs, and those in drug addiction recovery. These workshops provided a positive and supporting space where participants learned about nutrition, methods in growing vital living foods, and how to integrate music and gardening for uplifting and enjoying life naturally.

Family Gardening Workshops - The joy of gardening is a fulfilling experience I have always loved. At a young age, I witnessed the care and appreciation that both of my parents put forth in tending to a home garden that became a sanctuary for us as a family. As I got older and new chapters of life took place, regardless of where I was or through any difficult times, the heart and goodness of sharing and dedicating efforts that gave forth fruitfulness in so many ways stayed with me at heart. Today, I love offering interactive Family Gardening Workshops for special events at local farms wherever I am hosted or as a special offering during retreats, where I teach and guide people in gardening with a very easy at home regenerative approach that is fun, informative, and that is all about bring Family together.

Non-Profit Organization Collaborations - I truly believe that each and every person has a gift they were born with and something all can passionately share that can make a positive difference in the lives of others. Over the years, whether through delivering food to communities in need, public speaking about mental health, working with people who suffered trauma and addictions, or in sharing interactive workshops of music, I have wholeheartedly valued the unforgettable and life transformational experiences I have witnessed made possible by the love of God and the efforts of people who come together from their heart to help others. If you are involved with a Non-Profit Organization and would like to connect, whether for advise or a potential collaboration, please feel free to contact me!

Events and Presentations - Do you have a special event that you are planning for and connect with what I offer at heart? Some of the most meaningful occasions that I feel so much purpose for me to present at are weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, baby showers, family reunions, and requests of assistance during a family’s loss and time of need in support. It is an honor to share meaningful and important moments of life with others while in being of service and support. It is fulfilling and has also nourished my heart very much, and for every opportunity to share the gift of life and appreciation of God is a blessing to me that I am always thankful for.

Couple’s Retreats - Private retreats that I facilitate for couples are founded upon developing deeper connection with God as the foundation of the relationship and in celebrating the sacred union between Man and Woman. When God is centered as the foundation of a relationship, communication, decisions, love, and intimacy will always be guided in the best direction.

These private retreats are carefully curated, customized to each couple and balanced in addressing areas of the relationship that may need further understanding while allowing the couple to have a very personal and organic deepening of connection within their relationship, together with God.

Ministry & Prayer

The most important thing I believe that I can share as someone who appreciates helping people is prayer. Through the love and grace of God, any and all healing is possible. With God as the foundation of our lives, naturally our efforts and communication in dedicated prayer will always lead us through to clarity, resolve, peace, and the most meaningful life. In truth, knowing and living with the greatest love. The communication of prayer is the connection of acknowledgement and love with God that is truly is so natural to humanity and all life.

In these modern times there are many people who feel awkward about prayer or feel a sense of disconnect with it. In modern society, God and prayer has been compartmentalized as a thought or maybe something of contemplating during a difficult time. And for others there may be a distasteful feeling because of negative experiences from religious gatherings or due to an oppressive approach from Family. Your relationship with God and the deepening of that is something that should be very organic, not forced, not manipulated, not judged. It is a process for each and everyone of us. God does not need anyone to be pressured or obligated in prayer. God’s love needs no acts of convincing. God will hear your heart and from there is the blessing. God works in ways beyond our mind. We have the ways in which we are used to thinking and ways we expect things to resolve and be. The more we build our relationship with God, the more we understand what God communicates, teaches us, and supports to be the most important, wise, and essential of all.

I offer my heart and efforts with you in prayer. If you or a loved one is enduring a time of need, please feel free to connect with me and it will be an honor to pray alongside you.

Art, Design, & Photography

Current blog of my Art & Design projects:

For me, within creativity in the present moment is expression and language of the soul. Whether sentiments of love, life, or inspirations forming, art & design is something I have enjoyed my whole life. Through good times and difficult times, lines, curves, colors, shapes, and textures, find space where words and feelings bridge themselves to life. As I have had many areas of study and pursuits in life, my art projects have been a dedication of personal satisfaction rather than a focused professional endeavor. However, at this time as my works compile and as my feelings are drawing my art towards a refreshed focus, there is movement for me to organize and share what has cultivated.

Projects in flow:

Art & Photography, naturally: Over time I have developed more awareness and I am always looking for the most natural and ecologically responsible ways to create my artwork and print photography. My earliest art works were done with acrylic paints. I am now researching different canvas & ink mediums and reproduction methods that will be in alignment and in harmony with God’s blessing of the earth. For thousands of years some of the most amazing works of art have been created with vivid, incredible natural dyes and materials. The digital era has it’s own extraordinary capabilities and offers many people the opportunity to be creative. However, it is beyond words of importance the experience of seeing, feeling, and immersing yourself within the elements of creation with your multiple senses, honestly such a gift from God to enjoy. All of the floral and most of the landscaping photos on my website have been taken by me and are examples from my personal collection. These photos will soon be available for prints.

Current Art Projects: Completing my series of design artworks titled “Love & Life”, to which reflects my different early processes understanding love, intimacy, life challenges, perseverance, and celebration. These sentiments always with God at heart. I also have a series of geometry drawings that is ready for next phase of my upcoming e-book which will be both informative and interactive in exploring an understanding of God’s natural design & architecture of the world around us. Included will also be a very personal practice of drawing as a form of therapy that happened for me organically, to which served as a meditative practice that both relieved anxiety & stimulated positive mental clarity and benefit.

Fashion: The picture above to the right (tulip shaped with a ring on top), is a sketch example of one bag design. I am opening up my fashion design capacity to both a personal collection and freelance work in collaboration with businesses whom are dedicated to the best sustainable practices and artisanal support.

Music from the heart ~ In joy, peace, and thankfulness to God for music ~

Click on album title highlighted in blue under album cover to preview full album:

Released in 2016. Currently in Remastering Process and is set for Re-release soon!

My first music album was created during a deep time and chapter of my life. I was going through a dedicated 7 year personal healing process, my Mother was being an amazing wife and was an angel for my Father who was transitioning onward, and I had the ever important blessing of being present with my Father, especially for the 2 months that I stayed with him before his transitioning. During those 2 months together, my Father and I cherished so much our time and healing, and he was a part of the final editing process as I was finishing this music album too! I had my laptop with me and did editing while next to his side. He would listen and he loved being so supportive during the process. He was such a kind man with a truly loving heart, he was so incredibly special.

Surrounding that time, through God, I had connected with the Native American style flute in a way that was very emotionally expressive and an inner communication that provided me with peace through such important times. The nature of playing and listening to flutes stimulates contemplation and remembrance, and touches spaces that yearns for resolve. This was a blessing for me and the experience of sharing this music with family, friends, and people from all over is truly meaningful for me.

God’s Grace to my wonderful Mother who's strength and love is beyond measure and to my Father: Every time I pick up my instruments to play and share song, honoring you Father, thank you for the Love and time we had, so healing together. I am the extension of you and my Mother and that lives on always. God Bless Family.

Dear God, I thank you for my breath, I thank you for my life, I thank you for my heart, I thank you for the opportunity to be, I thank you God for your Love…

Upcoming Albums: In progress, my next album will be a mixture more original solo native flute music songs along with solo and multi-instrumental songs titled “The Divine Resonance” is set for early 2025.

Please enjoy listening to these 2 short sample clips from my upcoming music album!
