About Rose
I am an artist, astrologer, SoulCollage® Facilitator, mindfulness and shamanic practitioner, mother and grandmother.
My passion for creating and empowering others is a synthesis of my lifelong experiences. My creative journey began at a young age, I delighted in spending time playing in the woods, streams and ocean tidal pools. I experienced firsthand the power of nature and creative expression. Always curious about other worlds, I was drawn to create images of the natural world, expressing and capturing the beauty, using mediums, materials from nature, paint, beads, fibers.
Early in my career, I started by combining creativity and fibers as a custom dressmaker and pattern drafter. Creating designs for individuals through listening to their stories, connecting to each person’s vision and translating them to bring the vision into being.
Raised in a family where volunteering and being of service to others was an integral part of life, I was driven to be of further service to others and interested in many aspects of healing, art, science, human consciousness, spirituality and transformation.
25 years ago I became a student of mindfulness went back to school to become a psychotherapist. As my professional life evolved I had the opportunity to expand my healing skills through both Shamanism and Astrology. Studying with a traditional shaman I was introduced to the path of shamanic healing, learning about the power of its teachings and Healing Ceremony. Both astrology and Shamanisn inspired me to further incorporate my knowledge of Earth-based teachings, Jungian and Archetypal symbolism, Mythology and the constellations and planets into my creativity and helping others.
Through the years of experiencing life and working with people of all ages, I found that healing was more powerful when methods were introduced that were more than just words to incorporate the mind, body and spirit to offer a whole-hearted approach to healing, growing and evolving.
Now retired from my psychotherapy practice I have returned to emphasizing my connection to nature and creativity through making art, providing astrology readings to supporting others on their journey.
