ABOUT ME

I am originally from Minnesota, lived in Arizona for about 5 years and have been living on Maui, Hawaii since 2011.

Writer by profession, singer/songwriter and musician as a hobby. I play flute, guitar, piano, and keyboard. I also practice sound healing using Himalayan singing bowls through my business, 7 Sisters Alchemy. Obviously, I love music, writing, and reading. But I also enjoy cooking, dining out, playing cards, movies, hiking, snorkeling, and beach bumming with a cold drink or two.

I always enjoy meeting interesting, intelligent, and fun people of any kind, sharing stories and knowledge, ideas and theories, food and drink, and whatever else happens to be inspiring in the moment!

I adore living on Maui, but I travel frequently because I looove exploring new places, making new friends, visiting old ones, and fully experiencing the adventure that is life :D

PHILOSOPHY

Choose LOVE over fear.
