About Me
I was born and raised in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky. In college, I studied art. After college, I moved to New York where I lived for ten years, and earned a master of fine arts degree in fiction writing. I now make Kentucky my home with with my partner, who is a photographer and restorer of old homes, two tabby cats and a pug son.
I come from a family of musicians, painters, comedians, writers and mystics and I have learned much from them about making my way in the world and listening to my inner wisdom.
I write fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. I teach writing workshops and help other writer silence the inner critic and find their deepest work.
It is especially important to me to work with women of all ages to assist in the journey of self-empowerment and reclaiming voice.
I am also an intuitive empath and an energy worker. I am attuned to Reiki III and offer Reiki healing sessions and spiritual readings for the purpose of healing.
I believe that we create our own lives every day.
I believe that each moment is an opportunity for change.
I believe in the magic that lives between the writer and the reader.
I believe in the power of creativity.
I believe that each one of us on this planet is an artist and a writer with a story to tell.
I think that if you take away the surrounding religions, the world's prophets have all delivered a similar message--that we should love one another. My spiritual practices are eclectic. I draw from Earth-based and Eastern spiritual thought. I have always been drawn to the healing power of Buddhist imagery and have altars throughout my home. I meditate and practice yoga. I'm moved by the Mul Mantra and a full gospel choir. I believe in God as a life force energy, but I don't believe in judgement.
I am also drawn to Shamanism and would love to talk to anyone who uses Shamanic techniques in his/her healing work.

Guest Book
In the classic Hatha yoga and Tantra traditions, each person is believed to possess a great reservoir of dormant feminine energy. This raw creative energy lies tightly coiled at the base of the spine. It is often associated with the serpent. Kundalini energy is part of the life force, so there is always a minute amount flowing through your subtle body. Only when properly understood and awakened can it express its full potential, rising through you and energizing your senses. It is possible to awaken your Kundalini through different forms of meditation or yoga, though the process should be undertaken slowly. A hasty opening of the Kundalini center can cause headaches and other physical symptoms. Raised properly, Kundalini energy has the potential to spring forth as active kinetic energy that may result in altered states of consciousness.
Once you have tapped into your Kundalini, what you experience will be unique. Some people experience the rising of the Kundalini upward through the chakras as spreading warmth and a feeling of extreme well being. Others find they have more energy and libido and are consistently happier. If you awaken your Kundalini, you may find yourself getting sick less often. The results vary from person to person, but the benefits are generally positive. You may be thinking about raising your Kundalini on your own. One way to do this is to draw the Kundalini up through the Shushumna, the passageway that travels through the center of your body toward the head, by visualizing the energy as a serpent traveling upward. But only bring it up a little at a time and use caution. If you experience headaches or a burning sensation, you may be going to fast and should consult a teacher.
Though awakening the Kundalini can be a difficult experience, it can also be a rewarding and exciting one. As the raw energy of the Kundalini is transformed into a potent storehouse of refined energy waiting to be utilized, you will be tapping into a rich source of creativity and awareness.
