Really the rest of it doesn't matter but for those of us who like science and credentials (and I am one of those people), I have a few degrees, one in English (Creative Writing) and one in Holistic Health and  I am on the slow train to finishing my Masters and Doctor in Natural Health.   I have about a bazillion training and certifications because as I said, I am a lifelong learner.  You can see a list of all of those below.

But really I would rather you know 10 fun facts about me.  

1.  I have the most inspiring family, all of them, my husband, my kids, my mom, my sisters, and my brother, and I am doubly lucky to have the same love and support from all of my in-laws.  Tripley (is that even a word?) I have amazing friends who have let me grow and rewild and have loved me through every step of it!!  

2.  I was born in Ohio but grew up in Virginia (this is a running joke with my friends and family because we moved to Virginia before I was 2, so I could really just say I am from Virginia, but I don't).

3.  I fully acknowledge that I am a cis-gendered, white female and all of the privileges, known and unknown that come with it.  This may not be a fun fact but it is one I honor deeply and continue to learn and grow so that I can serve ALL communities better.

4.  When I was young, I collected rabbit poop because I thought it was a very special kind of rock.  

5.  I LURVE a good mystery and Murder, She Wrote is still my favorite TV show (hands up if you think Jessica Fletcher might be the smartest murderess of all times!)

6.  I am a ne(u)rd!  The (u) is for neuron...because... I am a nerd.  And I studied Applied Neurology, Neurofeedback, and all things neurosciencey and brainy. 

7. I am also a mystic, intuitive, oracle card pulling, crystal loving, SOURCERESS (who just happens to not like tapestries and incense very much...).

8.  I used to be a photographer, an administrative assistant, an event planner, an art jeweler and I have rebranded my company at least 3 times to match my growth and new curiosities.

9.  I used to love to roller skate and I am thinking about taking that back up, but in the meantime, I still dance hip hop as much as I can.

10.  I love watching people reclaim their power and change their lives.  That is my happy place (well and the lake or ocean, those are good too).
