I grew up in a home where art, beauty and the creative spirit was alive and well. When I was young I was not allowed to have coloring books or color by number sets. “Draw your own lines” my Dad would say. He wanted me to make decisions for myself and think things through. In retrospect I believe that was the beginning of my “outside the box” thinking. It was and is important to me to follow my own desire. Of course in my youth that didn’t always fare so well… but lessons were learned and growth achieved.
My formal studies were in Graphic Arts and Fine Arts. After graduating Pratt Manhattan Center with a degree in Graphic Design, I continued to live and work in New York City. I worked in the Graphic Arts field while continuing to take classes in painting and sculpture, and also to further my understanding of myself and how I fit into this world. The mere fact that we exist in this vast universe was rather mind boggling. My path led me to study different philosophies and approaches to understanding what “the meaning of life” meant. I became aware I am more than just my body. Living alone, and the fact that I was single and had no family obligations as a young adult, I had the luxury of spending my time working at understanding how the mind, as both practical and spiritual, was all part of the consciousness that is the human experience. But how to use that knowledge to create a life for myself? I looked for answers also through studying the mystical arts, astrology, oracle cards, numerology and whatever positive perspectives that were available to me and helped me to understand my unique self. Any wisdom I could gain to understand myself and others seemed always to be my priority. I spent many years and had many experiences before realizing my true purpose, which was to help others access their own creativity and inner guidance to create a life that works for them. People who are being creative are happier with their lives and contribute more to the world. That realization empowered me to take action to become a certified Life Coach.
How I can help you…
Within the conversation we have, I will listen to find the part of You who knows the answers to what you desire. We can explore ideas that you may have to help strengthen your vision and to recognize what stops you. Then we will begin to map the steps to take to go forward. I learned from an early age to look at life’s challenges with creative perspective in finding new solutions. Those abilities can help reacquaint you to your creative mind. This kind of creativity is not just for the Arts, but to imagine and create the life of your dreams. Together we will empower you to reclaim the strength and wisdom that is within you and to bring the joy back into your everyday life.
