Go completely and 100% full force on my authenticity in both business and life! Dressing how I want no matter what I’m doing (in whimsical historical or Ren Faire-inspired garb like corsets and pirate shirts); infusing everything in my brand with my mythic and Arthurian legend aesthetic; really trusting and claiming my voice in a way I hadn’t before.

I feel I am being called to energy work through music. I was afraid of this before because energy work was so new to me, and I had only thought of energy and spirit and even music in specific ways before. Read more>>

There was a point in my life when I was afraid to use my voice.

I feel called to help bridge the gap between eastern and western medicine. Our healthcare system needs to acknowledge that there are so many patients who have already spoke to their primary care physician, they already got prescription meds, they already got tests done, and nothing worked. That is where alternative/holistic medicine & naturopathic doctors can really make a difference. Read more>>

I think for the first time in my life, I am being really called to share my art in a different capacity. I have been a musician and song-writer for 10+ years, and I have been sharing my creativity for most of that time, but I always felt like I had a block somewhere. Read more>>
