Connection and Purpose

Being human is a dance of finding balance between our connections and our own unique spark, our place and purpose. In Okinawa, home of more centenarians than most other areas of the globe, discovering one's purpose is a key factor to well being, and is called Ikigai.

When we align with our values and purpose, we are more content in good times, and resilient in times of stress. This in turn leads to enhanced health.

Other factors that promote well being and healing include enjoying a mainly whole foods diet (with a preponderance of local foods, fresh when possible), moving throughout the day, spending time outside, connections with friends and family, and engaging in creative pursuits.

For nearly 40 years I've been engaged in Healing Arts as a Licensed Massage Therapist, and added many complimentary tools to my Medicine Basket, including Reiki, Lightwork, shamanic teachings, Qigong, Tai Chi and Breema; and harmonic healing - including both therapeutic harp and Tuning forks. Interest in herbs and flowers led me to making over a hundred flower remedies or 'essences,' which help us align with empowering our essence and true nature.

No Mud, No Lotus

In Dr Karl H. Maret's forward to Tuning the Human Biofield, he writes "teeny reciprocal tuning forks on each cell membrane, producing either incoherent or coherent frequencies, 'changing their tune,' as it were, when bathed in coherent sound." (P 39)

Sound healer and author Eileen McKusick goes on to say: "Sound balancing is a therapeutic method that makes use of the frequencies produced by tuning forks to detect and correct distortions and imbalances within the biomagnetic energy field, or biofield, that surrounds the human body."

Healing Arts

The movement, energy and creative modalities I've studied assist in tuning our biofield, bringing us into harmony and balance. This year I'm working more deeply with creativity as a healing modality. All healing is self-healing, we choose guides and practitioners to assist us as we gather our own healing tools.

Each experience, whether in a class or one on one coaching and healing session, will be unique and customized to meet individual need. I offer opportunities to work in person or virtually, and look forward to incorporating the empowerment of Creative processes to your own healing tool kit.

You're invited to join me, and attune to your own note and compass.

Tune Up Time

For nearly 20 years, I've included tuning forks in a number of frequencies in my sessions, and healing harp for 30. Sound and vibration in many forms can help restore balance and effect healing. My harmonic tool kit includes Harp, drums, rattles, native American flute, Tibetan bowls and both weighted and unweighted forks. In 2005, I took the Acutonics basic practitioner training, & found a set of 'Intention Tuners' on e-bay, from a practitioner who was switching fields - serendipity! Vibrational healing pairs well with on body massage or Reiki, and Lightweaving which is done off the body. I use both weighted and unweighted forks during recent sessions, with great results! One long time client & friend told her husband, 'That was the BEST massage I've ever received!' "In water and watery solids, such as the human body, sound travels over 4x faster in the form of photons or sonic shear waves. As the sound emanating ...

Take it to the Journal

In our Intentional Creativity practices and classes, we often suggest, 'take it to the journal' especially when feeling stuck or seeking insights. For decades, I've kept journals with lots of words, and sketchbooks ... in our Intentional Creativity process we combine the two, and use art and color to assist processing and integration. Healed Enough journal Simple composition books make a great base for these creative journals, and is fun to decorate the covers, as we did in school! Another option is a sketchbook with blank pages - choose something you'll enjoy using! Simple art materials suffice and add interest - washi tape, markers, inexpensive paint, old magazines for collage, tools for making patterns, oil pastels, mod podge and glitter are fun ways to add color and movement. This is a great place to record your intention, ideas and insights that arise during a class or project. At times I participate in a friend's EFT tapp...

Vibrational Healing

In neatly 4 decades of offering bodywork and energy seasons, I have collected many modalities and tools. Reiki and other energetic offerings are surprisingly powerful when offered remotely, which gives us the opportunity to work together wherever we are in the World! When we combine Reiki with a dash of creativity, Magïc happens! In 2005, I traveled to my favorite retreat center, Breitenbush Hot Springs for a training in the history and use of Tuning Forks both personally and in sessions. Already a harpist, I had studied using sound as a vehicle for balance and harmony a decade before. Our training centered around use of weighted forks on acupuncture points - Ohm tuners and Acutonics . Around the same time, I acquired a set of Intentions Tuners (all but one unweighted forks which are intended for use off the body) "In water and watery solids, such as the human body, sound travels over 4x faster in the form of photons or sonic shear waves."...
