WHOLE SOUL STUDIO

A Restoration Studio for Body, Soul & Spirit

RECONNECT · REMEMBER · CREATE

Life has a way of disconnecting us from God, ourselves, and one another.

Through art and story, I help women reconnect, remember who they are, and create from wholeness.

Artist · Nurse · Educator

For more than twenty years, one question has shaped my life and work:

How do we live whole in a world that fragments us?

The answer I've found is surprisingly simple.

We reconnect.

Today, I bring together art, whole-person health, and spirituality to help women reconnect with God, themselves, and others—and remember who they are.

Founder of The Four Elements of Wholeness™

Nursing taught me to look beyond the symptom.

For more than twenty years, I sat beside people in some of life's hardest and holiest moments. I learned that people are never just diagnoses, symptoms, or problems to solve.

There is always a whole person underneath.

When I became an artist, I discovered another way of seeing.

The canvas brought clarity.

Things I couldn't think my way through began appearing in color, image, symbol and story. What had been tangled inside of me became visible in front of me.

I could finally step back and see the whole picture.

That discovery became Artful Storywork™.

Today, I bring the eyes of a nurse and the hands of an artist together to help women see what has been difficult to name, reconnect what life has fragmented, and come home to who God created them to be.

The Philosophy

ART IS THE WAY IN.

Sometimes words aren't enough.

We can understand our stories and still find ourselves living from them.

So we make them visible.

A mark. A color. A word. A shape.

Sometimes, standing back from what we've made, we can finally see what we couldn't see while standing inside the story.

I don't try to change women.

I see them. And help them see themselves.

RESTORATION ART

You don't have to erase your story. You can create with it.

My paintings follow the same elemental movements I teach:

EARTH holds. · WATER moves. · WIND stirs. · FIRE transforms.

Layer upon layer, I allow the history of the canvas to become part of what it becomes.

Restoration remembers.

PRIVATE ARTFUL STORYWORK™

Sometimes one story needs more space.

A private creative experience for a story, loss, relationship, transition, or something in your life you are ready to see differently.

Make the invisible visible.

Stories from the Studio

What happens when women begin to reconnect and remember.

COME HOME.

To God.

To yourself.

To one another.

To the creative life you were made to live.
