Growing up in a small Wisconsin town as the youngest in a family of four, I developed an interest in ghosts and horror movies. As an adolescent, I began using tarot cards and at sixteen started songwriting. In my thirties, I realized my calling was to create a musical tarot deck. Music and mysticism became my life's greatest passions. I saw myself as a creator and performer, and also as a channeler or messenger. In my forties, I began professionally producing the songs. 

However, before I could finish the first album, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

My diagnosis revealed hidden truths about my childhood, uncovering covert abuse by my caregivers that led to complex post-traumatic stress disorder and a lifelong struggle with a damaged nervous system. My journeys of well-being and creation have been marked by pain, struggle, grit, and growth. 

When I published my first songs and created this website, I didn't intend to publicly share my story, but it unfolded naturally. I invite you to explore my history through the following pages: 

• My Creation Journey, which delves into the background of each song, its inspiration, and release day story; and
   
• My Healing Journey, which details my lengthy battle with chronic pain, my entire breast cancer story, the eventual uncovering of childhood emotional neglect, and my determination for recovering the life I want to live.

I share my story openly as one person's perspective of what it means to be human. Though I am haunted by the afflictions of my past, I am soothed by the possibilities of my future. By talking about my trauma, I wish for others to find hope and inspiration to heal their own sufferings. We are all on a quest for inner peace. It is through compassion and connection that we get there.
