"I have loved having the comfort of this new way of stitching. It’s been such a difficult time for me adjusting physically and mentally after being so sick...learning this gentle form of stitch has brought me so much quietness." -past student

"I love not caring about getting it done quickly, but my critic does creep in. Whenever I feel myself thinking about how long it might take or how slowly and infrequently I work on it I take a breath and remember that’s not what this is about."

"Thank you so very much. I think my timing on opening this class was perfect because I was definitely losing my center and beginning to feel a bit of panic. Watching your presentation helped ground that energy and remind me to simply be present. I will start my meditation cloth now with a much calmer, lighter heart."

I'm a Heart-Led Mixed Media Artist, Reiki Practitioner, Intuitive and Teacher. I'm a passionate, playful, spiritual person who loves making art, asking questions and following my unending curiosity, wherever it takes me.
One of my favorite things in the world is connecting with people through creativity and sharing heartfelt stories with kindness and care. I love to ooo and ahhh over art that people make, it gives me so much joy and inspiration!
I have learned that when I choose to create space for myself to explore, play, create, reflect, and feel, surprising and empowering things unfold...I discover new aspects of myself, I expand and grow, I connect with the world in beautiful ways and I feel more deeply alive, nourished and fulfilled. It is from this place that I create all of my offerings. They all emerge from my own creative practice and life journey. This is why I recently renamed my business to Wings of Light from Deep Rooted Healing. After years of working on grounding, clearing and healing, I have deep roots underneath me and now I'm ready to soar with all that I have learned and grown through!
Thank you for being here, I hope you find something that touches your heart and inspires you on your journey. May our hearts always be filled with light and may we share that light with everyone around us.
