Do you dream of a better world?
A world without pollution and deforestation driving human-made climate change, and the snowballing extinction of non-human species? A world without racism, sexism, ableism, classism, or homophobia and transphobia? A world in which diversity is celebrated and indigenous wisdom honored, and our beautiful Earth treasured? Do you see injustice, confusion, and divisiveness all around you, and want to do something to remedy it?
Are you ready to make a change?
The thing is, change comes from within.
As the saying goes, hurt people hurt people, and we are all carrying so many hurts – childhood trauma, ancestral trauma, the accumulation of toxic chemicals and toxic social patterns. I cannot promise to cure these for you, as I have not cured them for myself.
But I can promise to help you take the most important step in beginning the journey toward healing:
Know thyself.
Self-knowledge is your most important tool in the quest for a better life.
We all have power and potential within us, a person we want to be, a person we already are, if we could just get out of our own way, if we could just see our truest self clearly. I am here to help you find the answers you seek within, to see your own best self clearly, finally, without the judgement and baggage. I’m here to help you process your pain, clear away the self-sabotage, and step into the truth of who you are and what you are here to do.
Know yourself to change yourself, and in the process change the world.
I’m here to share with you what I have learned as a result of engaging in this process for myself.
Like so many people, I’ve spent years stumbling around in the darkness of my own pain, trying to navigate a world that made increasingly less sense to me as time went on. But unlike others, I’ve had an advantage in the form of Tarot and Astrology, and the art that I create based on these, in this process that I call Icon Alchemy.
What is Icon Alchemy?
Icon Alchemy is a process of knowing and refining our self-image through changing the images both inside and around us, and the ripples of change that spread out into the world because of that personal work.
Creating a healthy self-image isn’t just about self-confidence. It’s about truly seeing who you are, warts and all, likes and dislikes, and then striving to make the person you present to the world more clearly aligned with the person you are striving to be, inside and out. It’s not about covering up your flaws so much as learning how to work with them, how to feel whole and complete because you accept all of your parts, and loving your whole self.
Our little quirks make us unique and interesting, and the art and other creations and services I offer are all about celebrating them, and the person you are because of them. Think of it as the metaphysical equivalent to dressing for success!
