The Evolution<\/h3>\n

My passion for developing both the Creative and Intellectual aspects of the human mind<\/strong> began early in life.<\/p>\n

I was born in the midwest to two college professors who also happened to be performing artists. So thinking outside the box<\/strong>, creative re-framing<\/strong>, and optimizing the power of the mind<\/strong> was both a genetic and an environmental influence.<\/p>\n

Although our home was small, the walls were lined with books, and the 8 of us (yes, they had 6 kids, crazy!)<\/em> had plenty of paper to draw and write on. We also had a piano and full drum set, since our parents both played. So it was as exciting as a mansion to my little creative soul!<\/p>\n

I noticed early on that developing my mind and my creativity made my days richer, my body healthier, and my goals more attainable.<\/em><\/h4>\n

I also noticed that the most beautiful friendships I made were the ones I formed when I was involved in engaging projects or creative explorations with other kids.<\/p>\n

At 17 I moved to Chicago to study Interdisciplinary Arts at Northwestern University. Completing that degree was a rigorous, mind-expanding<\/strong> experience that helped me hone a both a…<\/p>\n

Deeply Creative and a Highly Practical<\/span> approach to
Art & Life.<\/h3>\n

It was a strong influence on the coaching work I do now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hit the ground running after graduation, working 7 days a week as a teacher , coach, and performer, and what struck me most in my work was the amazing transformational effects Dance and Music had on my students, my audiences, and myself!<\/p>\n

Soon my passion for helping people optimize their minds<\/strong>, their emotional health<\/strong>, and their physical well-being<\/strong> became even more important to me than simply facilitating their engagement with art.<\/p>\n

I was inspired at 25 to pursue a degree in Music Therapy<\/strong>, so I could study (and more effectively apply) the psychological and physiological aspects of the transformations I was seeing. After graduation, I enjoyed working as a Music\/Dance Therapist, a teacher at two universities, and a performer.<\/p>\n

All these disciplines fed and inspired each other, and still do to this day.<\/em><\/h4>\n

I moved to California in 2008 because I wanted to live in an area of the world where the type of transformational work I was doing was already well understood and highly valued.<\/p>\n

As a result, my mind \/ body\/ life coaching practice became more fulfilling than ever, and I decided to focus on it more exclusively.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”800px” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font_size=”55px” header_3_font_size=”35px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Now, I spend the work portion of my days unearthing the hidden talents<\/strong>, gifts<\/strong> and desires
<\/strong>that my clients have not found the time to honor (yet!) in this lifetime . . .<\/p>\n

and developing ways to incorporate that Light<\/span> into the Life<\/span> they have already built.<\/h3>\n

Some of my clients choose traditional life coaching<\/strong>, because there is so much power in re-framing and shifting the mind through clear thinking, speech, and actions. They also find the guided coaching meditations<\/strong> I provide as a useful catalyst.<\/p>\n

When a client desires a more artistic or immersive experience, I love drawing on my background as an arts therapist and energy healer to create a customized coaching\/ healing program.<\/strong> These experiences can include music, movement, meditation training, and energy healing.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re curious and would like to know more, contact me directly through the \u201cWork with Me\u201d<\/a> page on this site. I look forward to connecting with you soon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until then,
Love to your<\/em> Life!<\/p>\n
