About Me
My Background
I created DavenChi Art & Wellness to infuse my passion for spiritual and personal growth into a desire to help others become more aligned on their path, through workshops and coaching.
As is true for most of us, I have experienced several unexpected hardships, including deaths of close family members and divorce, along with other personal & health challenges, all while working in a fast-paced corporate environment. Looking back, I can see how these have shaped me, and I've learned how to better navigate those challenging life circumstances that can make us feel helpless and unempowered. This is something I want to share with you, if you find yourself needing some support.
I also enjoy painting! As a self-taught acrylic painter, I've sold over 100 works and still enjoy painting from time to time. Chi, as in DavenChi Art & Wellness, is the energy that runs through every living thing, and my goal has been to infuse all of my paintings with this life energy to create spirited art. As a coach and workshop facilitator, I work with the goal of empowering others to learn how to balance this energy within themselves to lead happier and more aligned lives.
