“My feeling is that the concept of creativeness and the concept of the healthy,
self-actualizing, fully human person seem to be coming closer and closer together,
and may perhaps turn out to be the same thing.”

-- Abraham Maslow

I believe that creative expression in any form you feel moved to express yourself is healing, liberating, and brings you closer to the core of who you are. The form in which you choose to express yourself is not so important.

As a matter of fact, being that we are constantly in the process of change, the form of “you being you” in the world will change, just as everything else in the universe does. The key is to pay attention to the subtleties of what you feel drawn to, of what peaks your natural inquisitiveness, of what gives you that connected feeling. Pay attention to your inner voice, your inner calling; pay attention to what you love. Yes, some of the stepping stones on your path to health, wellbeing, and awakening are to be found in allowing yourself the freedom to express your uniqueness.

We are spiritual beings and we are completely interconnected with the universe we live in, and with each other. We are conditioned to view our lives in a linear way; to think in “the box”. Life is not linear, and neither are we. We are multidimensional. We have to re-discover ourselves. And it requires courage to allow this to happen. The more we have been wounded, the more courage we will find. But there is good news! We can do it! We need to become conscious of the habitual patterns of thinking, or limited belief systems that keep us in a cycle of discontent. We need to find the ways, modalities, expression, to break out of our frozen energy patterns – in our minds, our bodies, our spirits. We need to melt down to touch the heart, the essence of being human. The split from this human essence is the cause of so much unhappiness.

How can I help to show you how to do this? What magic modality have I studied? Yes, I’ve learned to do Reiki, bodywork, energywork, psychotherapy, shamanic journeys, and more. But what qualifies me even more is that I have walked this path myself and I understand the principles of healing in a very intimate way.

And what’s more, in a very real way you are the reason I am here now. My path of warriorship is calling me to become more of who I am by helping you find the way to yourself; to your own “inner jewels”. It will bring me great joy to support you – if you are ready - in the many manifestations of your personal path of becoming awake. This may mean fanning the spark of your inspiration, soothing your inner child, lending emotional support in a difficult time, and sorting out the confusion which prevents you from discovering your own crystal clear insights and answers.
