Welcome! - I’m glad you’re here

 I’m Diane - a Writer, Artist, Creativity Mentor, Forest Therapy Guide, Nature-Lover and believer that everyone has a light-filled magic that they are here to share.

It’s my intention to inspire others to be and share their unique magic in ways that delight them.

I was a businesswoman for 25 years, and even as I poured my heart into work and serving clients, my soul often questioned this path. 

A cancer diagnosis in my 30s nudged me awake and the next 15 years I lived a double life – business by day, herbalism, yoga, meditation and alternative healing by night. 

After layering on caring for dying and demented parents in another state, my burnt adrenals shouted “no more!”, leading me on a path studying with extraordinary teachers, immersed in nature, creativity, music, consciousness, energy medicine, movement & every alternative healing modality I could find.

Spending time in Nature bestowed a deep peace that had previously eluded me.

Unleashing my pent up Creativity through music, color, painting and sewing - doing anything with my hands- brought joy again.

Writing grounded me and allowed me to sleep more soundly at night.

Dance and Movement showed me how to clear blockages to make space for new ideas. Sound Healing eased my grief

Most importantly, I learned how to create new pathways and make changes that bring joy.

My service is to inspire you to open to the magic of this world, to have the power to make choices that delight you, and to be in love with this Life.
