  • In late 2014 I was introduced to doTERRA essential oils.

    It started a very education filled journey into my wellness, and my family’s wellness. It changed the way we approached healthcare immensely. It brought about changes in our household, as far as what we chose to use in and around our house and in, on and around our bodies.

    I reached Silver in 2018 . I had built a successful team providing a safe space for learning, consultation, and friendship.

    During the throes of Covid, in 2020, the building that housed my business was closed for six months. My studio space sustained damage from mice. And my business crumbled. During that time I changed employment, and was working in excess of 45–50 hours per week. When the building reopened, I was unable to regain the momentum that I had previously. People no longer wanted to gather.

    Between that and the extensive amount of hours I was now working, I made the decision to close my business space. The Covid shutdowns revealed the troubles my teenage son was having with his mental wellness. We dove further into holistic alternatives and solutions. Mental health services were nearly completely unattainable. Somewhere in that, I stumbled across sound healing. It resonated deeply with me. It followed along the beliefs that we already had as far as allowing our bodies to heal with the proper tools. In that same timeframe, I lost my happiness. I was working a very demanding job that yielded little self satisfaction. I missed the connection that I had with people previously. My desire was to help people. That was a huge piece that was missing from my life. I started taking sound healing classes online, through your very business, Life Changing Energy. I was renewed! I was up at 3 o’clock in the morning doing coursework before I had to get ready for my workday. I bought a set of bowls and gathered my friends to practice. I began looking for studio space. Sound healing and Reiki seemed to be cross-referenced often. At that time, I had no idea what Reiki was. However, I had this intuition that it was something I had to do hands-on in person. I found a Reiki master in southern Wisconsin that was offering in person classes. I signed up! My old business space that held so many memories was available again! The universe was showing me that it was ready for me to step back into who I truly was! As I first moved back into that space I invited my son who was getting ready to leave for college, to come help me set things up, etc. This was the first time I was able to play my bowls for him. I had offered previously, he just didn’t seem very interested. He sat back in a zero gravity chair, and as I started to play, I watched the tears roll down his cheeks. A safe place. An emotional release that had been so long coming. I knew I was where I was meant to be.

    It’s now been over three years. I’ve served many people in my studio. I’ve watched tears, laughter, and healing happen. I’ve provided a sanctuary. I’ve provided a safe space. I’ve provided a judgment free zone. I myself have evolved and learned also throughout this process. I’ve gained friends. I’ve earned trust. I’ve given back to my community.

    I’ve taken chances. I’ve doubted myself. I’ve been attacked. I’ve rallied. I still seek education and experience. I’m expanding my business. Adding additional knowledge, services and modalities. I continue to invest in my business, my community, and my future. I’ve found my truth path. My clients are amazing! I love watching their evolutions. I love that they value their self care and use my assorted services to manage their stressful lives.

    I’ve created exactly what I envisioned and even more. Because I could not have anticipated the positive feedback my business receives. Every inch of my space was created with intention. I still think my favorite thing is when someone new walks in and says- “oooooooh! It feels so good in here! I can feel the calm as soon as I walk in!”

    I am exactly where I am meant to be.
