ABOUT ME
I am currently transitioning my family away from chemicals and have gained much knowledge in alternative methods of wellness and healing (primarily herbalism) with the use of Essential Oils, Aroma and Chromological Therapy's while manufacturing for, what is now, a small registered line of made to mentality organic bath and skin care products.
I Started the first NA meeting in Conneaut, Ohio, in 2005 and passed it down for time management reasons.
I have done work in the past with my own personal Psychologist, Donna Workman, coordinating and assisting a group for patients suffering various mental illnesses . Allowing them to learn and develop new and alternative coping skills to better manage as well as help them to better understand their illnesses in order to potentially rid themselves or help alleviate certain symptoms and avoid the use of a sometimes large and wide variety of medications. I have and continue to actively use these and other alternative methods to continue my own personal sense of self and wellbeing . I've developed some networking capabilities through these various services and while studying (for personal growth only) the different aspects of religion (theology) and through working with AMHA, HUD, SOCIAL
SECURITY, as well as contacts met through my seasonal job with H&R Block.
I also sometimes do freelance Photography, Proofreading, Grant Proposal, Contract, Ghost and Article
Writing along with Digital Content/Ad Design.
As a result, I have developed different marketing techniques and some website development and blog writing skills.
I started to DJ as a hobby about 20 years ago, and have learned a lot about binaural techniques. This was another personal endeavour in order to have a better, more mindful understanding of myself by using this technique in the form of meditation music and energy sound waves coupled with the methods i mentioned above to maintain a healthy lifestyle and more positive mindset. I enjoy learning new things.
I was a stay at home mom off and on for a very long time. I found it to be quite beneficial continuously be stimulating my brain with innovatively different concepts and ideas to amplify personal growth and understanding.
Being alone at home can be maddening after a while. When someone try's to manifest a better reality for themselves it shows initiative. And says a-lot about a persons character. Knowledge and wisdom are essential components needed to establish strong, lasting relationships. Resulting in having not only a successful life, but, career path as well.
