Training
As I continue my personal and professional development, I have been asked to present on various topics. Throughout my HR career I have presented workshops in small groups, virtually, and in large conferences. The topic of my presentations was primarily around Diversity Recruitment. Many of my workshops were awarded CEUs from the Society of Human Resource Management.
As a yoga teacher, in addition to teaching yoga classes, I have been a guest speaker at the University of Southern Maine for the Feminism in Yoga class presenting on Body Positive Yoga.
If you feel it would be a fit to have me present for your group, please reach out so we can discuss availability and rates. I am passionate about equity work as it relates to birthwork and yoga.
Stay tuned for mini-classes to be added to this page!
Art
I found creating art to be incredibly therapeutic. I have always been a “maker” but in late 2016 I started making hand stamped bracelets as a vehicle for releasing emotions and repeating mantras. I literally banged those messages into metal, one letter at a time. The physical, emotional and spiritual release was healing.
Initially the bracelets were for my own process. Then my inventory grew to a place where I decided to start selling them online, craft fairs, and at a local cafe in Portland.
My current work includes jewelry, bags, home decor, vinyl stickers, and ornaments. Most of my art has a social justice lens. Everything I make is infused with love, reiki, and humor.
I love crafting with my daughters and many of these items are made during our crafting time together.
I welcome you to check out the online store to see what we have been making.
