[Self portrait on a Friday morning]
Hello and welcome.
Fellow Substackers often ask, “what does Living in the Edges mean”? And I tell them, “It’s where I come from and where I have found myself living life.” I never was quite in the middle of mainstream culture. As a result, I was left out at times, didn’t quite fit in, and forged my own path which became a winding road of the arts.
Now, in my seventh decade of living, I find I am here on Substack to not write around the edges of my life, which I had been doing, but instead, put the hip-waders on and walk out into the silt and beauty of where I’ve been, where I am now – as a hypnotist – and how I got here. I share my stories, my art, and my journey of practicing the art of hypnosis and helping women make the changes they want to get the life they are crafting.
Readers can count on:
● the Living in the Edges newsletter is free. You can look for stories and curated hypnosis resources to appear here and there. There is no set schedule.
● essays and multi-media posts about complex themes I find curious and thought-provoking.
My hope is that you may find these posts useful, maybe even use as a navigation tool or map for finding community, refuge, and inspiration.
Who I am
I’ve spent most of my life living a creative life. I've put in my 10,000 hours on many endeavors from becoming a writer, a fine artist, a writer and musician, to a holistic practitioner, a hypnotist, and a Shaman-in-training. Did I mention I was in a rock band in my 50’s? Now entering my 7th decade, I’ve done a full-circle back to one of the most profound, powerful mind-body modalities (in my opinion) there is; that of being a clinical hypnotist. I have been in search mode for a while – a long fucking while, hungering for a way to make a shift to be able to move into the life I have longed for which has been no easy task. Now I help other women do the same.
We have this one life and like butterfly wings – they are not meant to be clipped.
Of if it calls to you and you feel like paying it forward, you can support my work in this way too.
