About
I have always loved the Art of Creating. As a teenager, I found a passion for photography and writing as a way to explore the world and myself. Soon after college, I accepted a position as Editor for a Marketing company. This was exciting as I loved collaborating on a team of other writers and designers as we curated our company’s monthly publications. Suddenly, a new door appeared for me while I was attending a workshop on Feng Shui. As I listened to the philosophy, I felt my heart beating intensely and realized my deep inner longing to journey into the world of Healing Arts. That lead me to becoming a Feng Shui Consultant, Yoga Instructor, and Sound Healer. The golden thread of my path of passion is charged by the energies of the elements Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. Nature has always been my anchor for inspiration and transformation. I am in constant awe of our powerful potential to awaken Sanctuary inside and out. I have found may way back to Writing & Photography as a way to express myself and interact with others. I invite you to EXPLORE with me.
Since childhood Summers spent in Beersheba Springs, TN, I have been a nature lover, inspired by the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. Cleansing, awakening, and aligning these elements through the art of Feng Shui, the physiological practices of Yoga and Ayurveda, and the transformational frequencies of Sound Healing, have been core to my life journey.
I began working with the elements through these practices in 2002, when I became a Feng Shui consultant through The Western School of Feng Shui and worked with clients in Nashville and NYC to bring intention into their homes and office spaces. At the same time I discovered the art of elemental balance through studying and practicing Yoga. In 2007 I began leading classes, workshops, and teacher trainings at my Nashville-based yoga studio, offering private yoga instruction to internationally-known musicians, and assisting at retreats in Mexico, Greece, and Venice Beach, CA with Shiva Rea. While at a yoga festival in Joshua Tree, CA in 2012, I discovered The Integratron, the renowned sound healing dome created in the 1950s by aerospace engineer and ufologist George Van Tassel. This experience made a forever imprint on me and lead to my exploration of the science and art of Sound Healing. I received a Sound Healing Certification from Sara Auster and a Level 2 Diploma in Integral Sound Healing from the The Sound Healing Academy.
After offering the practices of Feng Shui, Yoga, and Sound Healing to others for many years through classes and events, I am currently circulating these modalities inward.
This Portal is now a place for the Exploration of the Art of Contemplation through my Writing & Photography. Welcome!
