My Story
My Personal Dharma Story of EVOLVE and Resolve
Evolving through hardship and transformation has been the theme of my life. It began with being born into a dysfunctional family as the only girl in a badass tribe of country boys, and with having to endure physical and emotional abuse by my mother for twelve years, until she was treated for manic depression. She became a prize, supportive, horse show mother in my teens, and later my quirky best friend in my twenties.
​
Even the harsh mountain climate of Vermont could be unfriendly at times.​ And yet, the forests, meadows, and brooks were also my sacred playground, where I experienced ecstatic joy and passion through riding and showing horses, and writing and performing music – my saving grace "gems," which I learned to polish and shine early on in life. My hardships taught me to find solace by retreating inward, through meditation and connecting to source in various ways.
​
Early creative writing endeavors evolved into alluring press releases and advertising copy, which promoted my children’s music business. After 16 years my music business evolved into musical therapy, and I brought healing and solace to youngsters with anxiety and autism, and social interaction to elders with Alzheimer’s disease.
​
And then life overwhelm, health issues, and becoming disconnected to my soul brought me to my knees, and into the healing arts.
​
The fact that I was born to inspire, nurture, teach, and transform myself – and then help others evolve through their struggles and difficult life situations – is illuminated in my SOULutions Vedic Astrology birth chart – the karmic blueprint of what my soul is here to evolve in this lifetime.
​
I was struck by a lightning bolt of Divine Spiritual Awakening, and catapulted into a new dimension of personal and life transformation after four-plus decades of enrollment in the "Universe-ity" of hard knocks, where the karma of my unconsciousness created a personal Hell for me.
​
I learned experientially about codependency, addiction, emotional and financial devastation, success and failure, relationship wreckage and divorces, and years of unhealthy lifestyle and eating “SAD” (standard American diet), all of which all pounded my nervous system and physical and mental health.
And then the worst happened – the sudden death of my mother when I was thirty-seven, and my son only five years old, right after we had moved from South Florida to Vermont so my mother could be part of our lives. After my beloved mother's death, I spiraled into depression and drinking, which led to anxiety and medications. My marriage(s) and music business eventually fell apart, and my health began to fail. I became disconnected to my soul.
Part Two of My Soul Evolution
A massive digestion explosion sent me by ambulance to the emergency room, woke me up and transferred me into what I am calling "the School of Divine and Holistic Evolution:" Six years of accredited, hands-on schooling and training in the holistic medical system of Ayurveda; Ayurvedic Psychology and Spiritual Mentoring; Meditation teacher training; a formal study of Vedic Astrology, followed by years of deep spiritual study with several teachers; and Activation Method Life and Energy Healing Coach Training at The Coaching Institute. I put all these years of education into action, and transformed my life.
​
My inner Akashic Library is vast, filled with experiential wisdom from this deep-dive education and all my challenging life experiences. I can intuitively tap into this wisdom to design expansive and impactful, dharmic and holistic life and health coaching sessions, which will activate you to evolve, resolve, and discover your own perfect SOULutions – so you can soar into your dynamic inner blissfulness and soul-aligned purpose!
I can devote more time + energy
to serve YOU because:
-
I rarely watch TV, except for an occasional uplifting documentary or feel-good story. I refuse to tax my nervous system and deplete my life force vitality (my ojas) by watching violence and negativity.
-
My son has grown up and moved on, into his own busy life.
-
I have mastered the art of deep sleep, which enables me to have more energy and clarity.
-
I eat pure, live, fresh, homemade, plant-based foods to keep my body – the temple of my soul – solid and vibrant!
-
I chose not to consume alcohol or other substances, because it lowers my vibration and energy. I am naturally high on consciousness and my inner blissfulness.
I live each day like I am at an organic and holistic retreat, where I joyfully incorporate these healthy habits into my full schedule:
-
Two 20-minute Heart-Based Transcendental Meditations each day, which often include chanting, mudra, and visualizing healing light flowing inside my body – to keep my inner energy and chakras aligned.
-
A daily hot oil self-massage (Abhyanga), followed by a warm bath or shower to allow the herbal-infused, brain-calming oil to penetrate deep into all layers of tissues, muscles, ligaments, and organs – all the way to my bones.
-
A daily yoga, stretching, and exercise routine – 'The Five Tibetan Rites' – to keep my physical body healthy, while invigorating my chakra system.
-
A morning Sudarshan Kriya (also called Sky Breath Meditation) by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
-
An evening meditative Kriya of Asana (pranayama and mindfulness), initially transmitted and consummated by Sadhguru.
-
A nature walk every day – often barefoot, to absorb the earth's energy.
-
Gazing into the sky to appreciate the Sun, Moon, and planetary life force energies that we are all part of.
-
Inspirational reading, journaling, and reciting daily affirmations with gratitude.
-
And MORE!
I live a pure and simple, organic and holistic, vegetarian and Ayurvedic lifestyle – while blissfully skipping through each day, in awe of how my divine life is unfolding with such grace and ease.
