Welcome to Someplace Serendipitous, my virtual home. I am an author, artist, educator, and sound alchemist who sees life as an experience that is both luminous and numinous. I hold B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees, but after a span of years living and working abroad, I chose to leave academe for various forms of art and healing. My writing and photography are regularly published in national print magazines including Bella Grace, Kindred, and Mabel. I now live in rural New York with my husband, two young children, three cats, and a multitude of wildflowers.
One of my favorite things to do is hold safe and sacred space for women. I am certified in all kinds of modalities including being an Usui Reiki Master/Teacher, Crystal Reiki Master, yoga instructor (RYT-200), meditation and mindfulness teacher, flower therapy practitioner, and Crystal Tones Alchemy singing bowl practitioner (Sacred Science of Sound™ Level One, Level Two, and Level Three). I also have certificates in Basic and Advanced Ancestral Clearing (Level One, Level Two, and Level Three). My gatherings are a synchronistic blend of all of the above!
Please visit my offerings page to see what events I am currently holding virtually via Zoom and locally at Yoga Love of Honeoye Falls.
My chapter, “Daughter of Devotion,” was published in the 2021 book Awakening the Divine Feminine: 18 Stories of Healing, Inspiration, and Empowerment compiled by Laura J. Cornell, Ph.D.
For information on my children’s programs, please visit my Firefly Friends website.
You can also visit me at the collaborative blog Makings of Motherhood where I explored the experience of being a mama along with my friend and fellow contributor Michelle GD.
To learn more about the self-portraiture project I ran from January 2012-December 2016, feel free to visit She is Three. There are archives of monthly triptychs as well as the stories behind the photos taken by me as well as Deb Taylor and Bella Cirovic. “She set out: the evolution of She is Three” was published in the first issue of Bella Grace magazine, along with several photographs and accompanying stories.
