Living Life as an Art Form
At Beacon Ranch Studio™, I believe that life itself is our greatest work of art. My journey of healing through art and movement has woven together the worlds of performance, renewal, and intentional living. It’s my mission to help you rediscover life as a sacred, creative act through creative healing practices
From Actress to Healer: Embracing Authenticity
- I pursued my dream of acting because I knew recreating the human experience was sacred. Yet, I longed to express myself more authentically, beyond a director’s vision.
- This desire led me to the healing arts, where I became a Reiki master and trained in massage therapy in Sedona.
- Nature’s power became my greatest teacher, showing me resilience, wonder, and the art of finding magic in every moment—a lesson that guided me through profound loss and inspired my healing practices for trauma.
Art and revolt will die only with the last man.
Albert Camus
Ancient Wisdom, Modern Transformation
Through myth-inspired practices and movement, I discovered a path to healing through art and movement and now share that journey with others.
- Inspired by Meade, Jung, and Camus, mythology helped me navigate my darkest times. Camus’s interpretation of Sisyphus taught me to joyfully embrace life’s challenges.
- These myths come alive in my yoga nidra and breathwork for healing, offering powerful tools for deep relaxation and emotional release.
- From the Tree of Life to the Phoenix, ancient wisdom guides us to renewal and transformation through creative storytelling.
Creativity as a Path to Resilience
What began as a personal journey of healing grief and trauma has become a platform for inspiring mindful living.
Whether I’m:
- Guiding you through accessible healing breathwork techniques and yoga nidra,
- Sharing stories of nature’s everyday miracles,
- Transforming spaces through creative home DIY projects to build resilience through home remodeling, or
- Bringing poetry to life through original animations,
My goal is to empower you to live artfully and authentically.
Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.
Rilke
Building & Becoming: Lessons from the Ranch
Over the years, I’ve immersed myself in work that supports resilience, healing, and personal transformation:
- As a military widow, I trained with the Veterans Yoga Project and served as the Tennessee Revenue Development Coordinator, deepening my understanding of how trauma affects the brain and fostering tools for navigating resilience and post-traumatic growth.
- As a certified grief educator trained by David Kessler, I’ve learned the importance of witnessing grief for healing. This motivated me to volunteer with the Modern Widows Club, supporting survivors of suicide loss.
- Renovating my 1970s ranch house taught me that DIY home makeovers are a metaphor for life—tearing down what no longer serves us to build something meaningful. I share these lessons to inspire others’ growth.
Beacon Ranch Studio™ is more than a creative space; it’s a tribute to my husband’s legacy of perseverance and love. Through this work, I hope to remind others that life’s challenges can be the foundation for incredible transformation.
A Sanctuary for Healing & Expression
Beacon Ranch Studio is a space where creativity and healing come together—a place to explore movement, breath, and self-expression as powerful tools for transformation. Through art, storytelling, and mindful practices, I invite you to reconnect with your inner world and the space around you.
- I’m building a professional sound studio to expand my offerings in movement, yoga nidra, meditation, and self-expression.
- From remodeling my kitchen to sharing Rumi’s timeless wisdom, everything I create serves one purpose: to remind you that life itself is your greatest work of art.
Join me in reimagining what’s possible for your spirit and your space, and let’s embark on this creative healing journey together
