Coaching is about strengthening and growing, and becoming more powerful in your life.
It helps you discover your authentic self, allowing you to attain meaning, particularly during significant life transitions.

These two aspects of my creative work have much in common: attention, curiosity, patience, creativity… So, I gave them a home together in my new website (link in bio) Check it out if you’ve got a minute. Shout out to Lizzy at EC Studios for her wonderful work creating the new site. I recommend her highly!

Next weekend, an abundance of beauty to soothe the heart and mind - good for holiday gifts as well! The craftsfolks represented (see card) are stellar, creating in glass, wood, copper, reed, stone, shape, color. It’s a great show. If you’re in the Rhinebeck area, or looking for a weekend getaway, stop by! .delamaterinn

A few of my (spoon) friends who will make an appearance at the this Saturday. I’ve been working with some beautiful black walnut. The process is a source of reflection and calm - dedicated to the greater peace.

When life is difficult, art is a gateway. Hands on, let the wood (or…?) speak. Make it a conversation. Listen. (Advice to self.)
