### Who is this women? Good question... hah. Well I can tell you where I am at. 

I am at a point in my life where I am feeling inspired and fulfilled with new creative endeavors of poetry, music, yoga & meditation, and nature. Over the past year, as I step out into the world I have not feel like I am offering my full self the community around me. This has led me to the community on Steemit. I am not a person who frequently uses social media sites as I tend to prefer the stillness of silence. However, I have a voice that wants to share for its truest depths of insight and wisdom in this human form. To live a life well-lived, in to be in tune to one’s natural balance in their physical, mental, and emotional health. I want to be an uplifting presence to bring this state of ease and content to people’s lives through supporting healthy habits that empower individuals to be their authentic self.

So what I want to share with the world is me and what fuels my love for life. I hope that by being just who I am you are able to be just as you are and offer to the world from this embodied place.

### Yoga & Meditation & Ayurveda
Yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda are cornerstones of strength in my life. They provide me with the framework to stay in tune with my physical, emotional, and mental health. I begin each day with a breath that awakes me to my mat where I sit and move in sync with each inhale and exhale. Ayurveda teaches me awareness to the change in seasons and how to adapt my lifestyle to move within the ebbs and flow of nature. I completed my RYT200 Yoga teacher training program in the Tantric Hatha Yoga and Meditation with [Devidas Karina Mirsky]( https://www.sanghayoga.com/karina-ayn-mirsky) (2014) and my RYT300 Ayurveda yoga teacher training program with [Kameko Shibata]( http://www.nadigirlayurveda.com/) (2015). I’ve been practicing the art ever since 

### Music Poetry & Art
A little over two years ago I did not consider myself a creative or artistic person. I’d dabble in little bits of art things here and there but nothing seemed to click. I felt blocked off from this voice. Two years ago I began playing the violin. Since then I’ve progressed toward writing poetry that is turning in to lyrics in which I am learning how to write music to with my new guitar. It’s all new to me but I’ve fallen completely in love with the process. I look forward to sharing my work and inspiring others to connect to their authentic voice through art. It is not easy and at times one of the most vulnerable things you can do but with consistent practice you’ll be able to heal places in you that you weren’t aware even existed. 

### Health Wellbeing & Service
In my day to day life I work as an occupational therapist in the home health setting. I also have experience working in skilled nursing homes in skilled and subacute units. I graduated from Western Michigan University with a Masters of Occupational Therapy and a Minor of Psychology in 2013. Since then I’ve went through stints of working full times and taking time off to explore new places like India, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Germany, France, etc. I am currently completing a Chaplaincy program at [Upaya Zen Center]( https://www.upaya.org/) with a learning focus in end of life care and burnout prevention. I am currently finishing my thesis focused on burnout prevention for medical professionals based around Buddhist teachings. I look forward to bringing this work into healthcare systems to enhance medical professional wellbeing and thus establish more effective, sustainable healthcare systems. 

#### I am looking forward to getting to know you and sharing the experience of life together in a way that empowers us to be all of who we are. Feel free to reach out and ask any questions, if you have them!
