  My work with gems, precious stones and semi-precious stones, which are all minerals started early in my life. As a young girl, our family of six lived in upstate New York in a small home among many other cookie cutter homes. We were in walking distance of school and other resources. One of which was an amazingly beautiful wide creek with large boulders and rocks. My brother jumped the boulders playing Ben-Hur while I snuggled our lunch-time drinks in between the stones (large and small) for cooling and safety in this beautiful creek. My love of stones started then, as I walked over them, around them, and sat with them. I found myself enjoying being with the rocks/boulders, water, and the sounds of all that was around us. They will speak to you when you listen. Years flash forward and I am a programmer at IBM.

There were many years between living in New York and becoming a programmer when I did not have access to the water or stones. What I did have is time with a dear friend. My friend and I found ourselves in gem shops in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, NC. I purchased books to learn more about their healing properties and how to care for the stones. The energy of these amazing dear gems supported me through a huge transition in my life and Spirit.

My husband and I left all I knew as security and moved to the Heavenly Mountains of Western North Carolina where I found true security in embracing my Innate Self. It was so profound, I chose to bring that to as many people as possible. It is also a process and takes time, commitment and courage. In doing your work, you will find freedom in knowing your True Self, your Innate Self. Crystals are allies in the process. For my process, I buried my crystals all around our home in WNC when we first moved here and dug them up years later. During this time, I also buried my Spirit; I was searching, healing and growing. My studies continued with the healing properties of gems. Years later I dug my precious stones up and became fully engaged with the benefits of crystals and stones for health and well-being. I have been fortunate to experience personally and witness with clients the benefits of the healing properties of gems/stones. The Stone Nation is one of love, healing, and support. They communicate peacefully when we listen. My work is a sacred part of my life. I am sincerely grateful to the Stone Nation for all it shares with my clients and me.

A restorative energy session may be drawn from a range of modalities and almost always includes crystals to support the client's intentions through the properties of each stone working together with our intentions, guides, and combined energy. My part is to respond to the guidance I am given, create and hold a safe place throughout each session for the client to experience and gain from their intuitive wisdom.
The client’s work continues after the session, as the energy goes with them. I recommend you take the rest of the day/night to Be with Yourself. I recommend waiting 24 hours before doing a second modality (massage, acupuncture, reflexology, facial, etc.). This allows you time to process the gifts from your session.
