My Story

In 1994 while I was in chiropractic college learning how to help people heal, my first child, my son Edward Oliver, was stillborn. It was very sad. My husband and I were so much in love and we had endured some really tense and overwhelming situations before but nothing like this. How could I have this happen? I had been doing massage, and nutrition and receiving good chiropractic care for years. What had I done wrong?

And I asked myself – did I really believe everything happens to the highest good?

If so, God, show me the good!

The first good I saw was the loving way my husband cared for me. My sister-in-law, my mother and father-in-law and family and friends cared for us and helped me and my husband grieve.

We had many strange signs and synchronicities happen before and after his birth and death that let us know we were having this experience for a reason.

I asked God to put me anywhere that healing would happen. I was at the Mississippi Valley Blues Festival that summer and had an amazing healing with The Blind Boys of Alabama. That performance changed me. Feeling waves of love wash through me I knew there was healing happening.

I help women who have experienced grief at any time. It doesn’t have to be a tragic loss. Any loss that isn’t addressed can be waiting for attention so it can be transformed into something beautiful. There is treasure buried in the tragedy and you do not have to relive it to find it.

Among my treasures were healing and singing the blues.

Together we can find yours.
