Grow wild only in accordance with thy nature.
- Henry David Thoreau

We are all creative. We all have nurtured something that grows happily as we shower it with our focus, ideas and inspiration. As a woman and a mother, I have had to creatively adapt to life’s many changing circumstances. Through career growth, to balancing work and children, to recreating career around family life - managing these changes required me to find my creative voice in order to settle into realignment. Retreating to a quiet space with pen, paint, or piano is my soul-filled, healing practice.It is the clearest indicator of my truth. By tending to my inner world, my outer world reflects refreshed energy: create to renew.

With a background in English, arts and education programming, and decades of piano training - I developed an intuitive method of instructing both piano and creative group classes. Additional trainings include therapeutic writing, visual journaling, art expression courses as well as IET and Reiki study. The common technique throughout all Create to Renew programs involves creatively expressing energy - the body’s internal, emotional awareness. This is where the magic lies, in SEEing one’s intuitive energy take true form. Come speak directly with your heart - it will change your life.
