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.

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...

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 ...

Plant Medicine

As a little girl, I loved the idea of using pants for their healing medicine and wisdom! Is gather soft leaves, smash them on a cinder block, and then - not sure what to do next - would roll into little pastilles, and set them in the sun to dry... Mallow in the path As an adult, I learned lots from my botanist  hubby and his mom, joined the local herb society, and took medicine making classes as I could. I cook with herbs, brew herbal tisanes and infusions, and infuse herbs in oil to use in my massage practice. About 20 years ago, I lubricated the track on my sliding glass door - and  smashed my finger closing it!! (LMTs hate any hurts to our hands!!)  The ND I work with said 'keep taking hypericum (homeopathic) as long as you notice it hurts, and apply hypericum oil or tincture!!' I did as he recommended  - the fingernail did fall off! But regrew, with a faint line) I also used comfrey poultices and clay externally. Hypericum or St John's wort helps speed the heal...
