In the depths of our souls, where turmoil resides,
There lies a yearning, a longing to find,
A tranquil haven, where peace does abide,
A respite from chaos, a solace in kind.
It blooms like a flower, this peace in our hearts,
Soft petals unfurling, embracing each part,
Cleansing our spirits, it mends every scar,
A balm for the wounded, a guiding North Star.
With peace in our hearts, we sow seeds of love,
Nurturing kindness, like sunshine above,
For in gentle gestures, compassion will grow,
And harmony’s melody will start to flow.
Let unity triumph, let hatred be tamed,
May peace be the legacy we leave unframed,
For when hearts are tranquil, divisions will cease,
And a world filled with peace, in our hearts finds its lease.

Q: Where did you grow up?
A: A small town in southern Ohio called Lucasville, Ohio. My mom taught me to love nature and our country. We would spend a lot of time canoeing, camping, fishing and taking vacations to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Q: Can you tell me how you ended up being a sound healing practitioner?
A: In the summer of 2020, I was guided by spirit to a Heart gong and Solfeggio Tuning forks after my mother died of metastatic breast cancer. From there, I was fascinated to learn as much as I could about Gongs, Tibetan Singing Bowls, Crystal Singing Bowls, Tuning forks, and Hand pans. I love how healing Gongs are. I love how the hand pan can take me to another place and time. I love how Tibetan/Crystal Singing Bowls can ground me in the present moment and help me to relax.
Q: What has inspired your connection to wellness?
A: I’m a seeker and have been on my own path of personal healing for a long time. I found my way to a healing treat called Artemis Rising at Boulder Crest in Virginia. At this retreat, I was introduced to dancing, kayaking and the Tibetan Singing bowl. After leaving this retreat, I found myself on a journey of healing myself and soon found my way to Nia Technique where I have taken every belt to be a Nia Technique teacher.
After my mother died from metastatic breast cancer in 2020, I was a mess. The country was dealing with Covid, all of the restrictions and I was in grief, rage and was feeling totally alone. A spirit guided me to Solfeggio Tuning Forks and from there to my first gong, The Heart Gong. I felt myself connecting to the vibration and healing with music. Then I decided to take trainings to become an accredited sound practitioner. From there I got more and more sound healing instruments, Bio Mat and Acoustic Bio Mat.
I started playing every day as I was learning and moving through my grief, rage and trauma. I could feel the sounds working on my body, spirit and emotions. I started sounding with Tibetan Singing Bowls, Gongs and Acoustic Bio Mat. The vibration was changing how I felt and was moving me through intense emotions and opening the door to me creating my business.
Q: What is your mission with sound healing?
A: My mission with sound healing is to bring originality and pride to anyone interested in self-healing by providing a safe place to feel emotions and heal by listening to Gongs, Tibetan Singing Bowls, Crystal Singing Bowls, Hand pan and Tuning Forks.
I have had people in my life that have listened to me and guided me on my healing journey. I realize that I am not able to heal anyone. Healing is an inside job, and I am a guide on another’s path. I can be there to create space, hold space, listen and be connected to spirit to share wisdom with another. Healing is an inside job, and the individual has to do their own work.
Q: I love music to. Can you tell me what your favorite sound healing instrument is?
A: My favorite sound healing instrument is the hand pan. Once I picked it up and started playing music flowed from me. When I was at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina last spring, the song, calming my Inner Storm flowed from me and comforted me. </p>
Q: I see you have several different Gongs. Which one is your favorite?
A: My favorite Gong is Chiron. I have learned a lot about the Gong and when it was discovered. I was born on December 15, 1977. Chiron gong was discovered in November 1976, is known as the wounded healer and helps one to heal traumas and deep wounds. It resonates at the note of D#. I find myself connecting to the frequency and am myself a wounded healer. Through working with the Chiron Gong, I have been able to heal myself. Also, I love sharing with my friends and family.
Q: When did you start to write poetry?
A: I started writing poetry when I was stationed on the USS Ronald Reagan in 2006 as a way to get what I was feeling out. In 2016, I took Nia Blue Belt and during that time poetry was flowing from me. That is when I decided to publish my book, The Journey Back to Myself: A Book of Healing Poetry, Second Edition
Q: Do you have a favorite quote?
A: “Owning your story is the bravest thing you’ll ever do.” ~Brene Brown
Q: What do you like to do in your free time? what do you like to do for fun?
A: I like to spend time in nature, taking landscape photographs, dancing and spending time on the beach
Q: Who are your heroes?
A: My teachers and guides that have helped me to return to myself, brought me back into my body, helped me to realize that I am a goddess, badass and have seen me for who I truly am.

Photo by Archie Binamira on Pexels.com In the chaos and noise, you may lose your way,
But fear not, my friend, for there’s hope in decay.
Return to yourself, where true solace lies,
Embrace your essence, let your spirit rise.
Amidst the distractions, the world may demand,
Rediscover the beauty of your own sacred land.
In the depths of your being, there’s wisdom untold,
Unveiling treasures, waiting to unfold.
Unburden your heart from the weights that you bear,
Release the illusions that cloud your air.
Embrace your flaws, for they make you unique,
In your imperfections, strength you shall seek.
Listen to the whispers that echo within,
They carry the secrets of where to begin.
Reconnect with passions that ignite your fire,
Let your dreams soar higher and higher.
Return to yourself, with renewed clarity,
Embrace the journey, with open sincerity.
For in the midst of chaos, you’ll find your way,
Back to your essence, where you long to stay.

In the depths of darkness, where shadows reside,
A weary spirit seeks solace to abide.
Through trials and tribulations, it has been torn,
But within the heart, a flame still fiercely burns.
With gentle touch and whispers of grace,
Healing begins, its tender embrace.
A balm for the wounds, both seen and unseen,
Mending the spirit, as if in a dream.
In nature’s embrace, find solace and peace,
Where the gentle breeze brings a sweet release.
The song of birds, a melody so pure,
Lifting the spirit, helping it endure.
In laughter and love, find strength to mend,
A friend’s embrace, a shoulder to lend.
For in connection, the spirit finds its way,
Rekindling hope, banishing dismay.
Through self-reflection, find inner light,
Embracing the darkness, with courage to fight.
With forgiveness and gratitude, heal and forgive,
The spirit awakens, ready to live.
So let us nourish our spirits each day,
With kindness and love, along the way.
For healing the spirit is a journey we take,
A constant renewal, a path we make.

In stillness of mind, the healing begins,
As gentle vibrations resonate within.
A symphony of notes, like whispers of peace,
The hand pan’s melody, brings sweet release.
With every touch, the hands create,
A soothing balm, to alleviate.
The rhythm dances, through fingertips,
Healing the soul, with gentle flips.
Each metallic tone, a healing embrace,
Unraveling pain, leaving no trace.
The vibrations flow, like a gentle stream,
Soothing the wounds, renewing the dream.
In the hand pan’s embrace, all sorrows depart,
As melodies mend, and mend every heart.
With every stroke, a healing is found,
In the music’s embrace, peace does abound.
So let the hand pan’s healing touch,
Guide you to a place, where worries hush.
In its harmonies, find solace and rest,
Healing the spirit, at its very best.

In the depths of my being, a sacred flame,
The sacral chakra whispers my name.
A wellspring of emotions, untamed and free,
Yearning for balance, longing to be healed by me.
With gentle breath, I journey within,
To mend the wounds, release the din.
I embrace the shadows, the scars that reside,
With love and compassion, I choose to confide.
Through creative expression, I set my soul alight,
Igniting passion, igniting delight.
The vibrant hues of orange, swirling and bright,
Embodied in this moment, igniting my inner light.
I dance with the rhythm, the sensuality of life,
Embracing pleasure, releasing all strife.
The power of healing, it flows through my veins,
Reviving the essence, breaking free from chains.
I open my heart, embracing intimacy’s call,
Releasing old patterns, surrendering them all.
With forgiveness and grace, I set myself free,
Healing the sacral chakra, allowing love’s decree.
I am a vessel of healing, a beacon of light,
Embracing my truth, shining ever so bright.
With each breath, I align, I restore,
Healing the sacral chakra, forevermore.
