ABOUT JADE

"I have been a Seeker and still am.

But I stopped asking the books and the stars. 

I started listening to the teaching of my Soul."

- RUMI

I have many titles, but I will mostly choose to call myself a "Space Holder & Creator of Magic," or "JADE MAGIC" for short.  I am passionate about the process of Transformation; the whole person, from the inside out, as well as creating a healing & thriving environment to HOLD SPACE for all of it!  

 

Much of my background began through my personal process of the physical transformation of the BODY.  As a Figure Competitor in 2012, I came nearly one point away from pursuing a career to acquire my IFBB Pro. Card (International Federation of Bodybuilding & Fitness). I experienced the extreme and restrictive ways to change the composition of the body.  Though I learned how to train specifically to build muscle and transform my physical body, to my dismay, a certain body fat percentage did NOT bring about peace of mind, nor a genuine love of myself. 

 

I then found myself on a journey to discipline the MIND and acquire more knowledge to bring about wholeness.  I went back to school to study nutrition in 2012.  As I studied Nutritional Therapy, I realized just how affected our digestive systems are, based on our emotional state and environment we are in.  The more I began to explore the connection to our relationship to what we "digest" (what we eat/drink, read, watch, listen to, or experience), the more I discovered how we can tap into our true healing power and intuition (aka, our "guts") to empower our decisions to move toward our authentic selves. I believe our bodies are "speaking" all the time, like a compass directing us to live in vitality by being in alignment with our Heart.

 

Then I met the deeper parts of my SOUL.

 

After several near-death experiences, world travel, Wilderness Therapy, trauma, betrayal & grief, managing various health issues, & losing Hope (my 6 week old puppy), I began having prophetic dreams.  These Dreams sent me on a Journey, leaving behind old beliefs and shame to embrace and embody my Queerness; my Magical Awakened Self.  It was actually more of a REMEMBERING of who I really AM, and where I come from.  Like a wild 'Treasure Hunt,' I am continually being led back to the essence of Divinity, Source, and all that is LOVE, which is also ME.

 

 

 

​And now I have returned to my first Love:  CREATIVITY. 

I have always had a natural gift for creating beautifully balanced spaces.  I love it when others walk into a room, and they can't quite explain why if feels so good.  THAT is my JADE MAGIC.  There is potential for everything to be beautiful, if you just give it the right space.  I believe we can be resourceful with the things we already have, and clear away the things that block old energy.  The spaces we find ourselves in daily, from our office to our homes, really do reflect the inner spaces of the SELF.  It's all about decluttering and bringing in intentional balance to reflect the energy we want to embody. Some call this Feng Shui in Chinese culture, or the Scandinavian term 'Hygge;' a word that could translate into "a warm and inviting atmosphere."

My other Loves:  PHOTOGRAPHY, WRITING & POETRY, COLLAGING, ASTROLOGY & MINDFUL MOVEMENT....

and of course, good food with soulful conversation.

I always create, first for myself, then for others. I have always felt a need to capture those moments we so often miss, forget, or perhaps don't even see as beauty!  From illustrating fonts and collaging in my journals, to creating beautiful visual arts through video clips, music & poetry, my intention is to capture the sacredness of LIFE itself.

CERTIFICATIONS

& TRAINING:

I hold a BA from Oregon State (2004) in Fine Arts (Printmaking & Design focused), and I am a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner through the Nutritional Therapy Association (2012).  I have studied various modalities of Mindfulness & Experiential Therapies, including Neuro-Linguistic Programing (NLP, 2018), Re-Creation of The Self with founder, Jon Eisman (2018), an Introduction to Hakomi Therapy (Esalen Institute, 2015), Feldenkrais Method, Reiki, and a continual student of Master Astrologers: Chani Nicholas, Debra Silverman, Tiffany Harelik & Molly McCord. I have been working in the health & fitness industry since 2004, from instructing a variety of classes (Cycling, Yoga, Cardio-kickboxing, Sports Conditioning, Specialized Group Training, Mindful-CORE), and working one on one with individuals of all ages (rehab, sports performance, general health, weight loss, & regulating autoimmune diseases). I trained in Classical Feng Shui in 2024, but have been practicing Space Balancing most of my life. I have had the privilege of 'holding space & creating Magic' as Founder and Owner of NEW LEAF Wellness Therapy, birthed in Oct. 2013, and after 7 years, was transformed into Hawthorne Healing Center, LLC, a mental health group practice in the Rogue Valley. 

I spent nearly two decades offering a variety of healing modalities to clients. From Personal Training, Nutritional Therapy, & Wellness Coaching for professional athletes & competitors, I partnered with local fitness studios and Barre3. Further training & life experience led to more modalities of Integrative Wellness Therapy, Intuitive Readings, Astrology, Energy Balancing, Applied Kinesiology, & Mindful Meditation practices. These skills & passions are now woven into each creation I get to offer to others as a tool for their own healing journey in the form of Art, Poetry, Books, & Oracle Decks. (Please see my CREATIONS tab for updates and purchasing.)

 

I am continually excited about the process of collaboration with other healers, therapists & practitioners, as we lead Personalized Retreats & Workshops that bring together our unique gifts to be offered out into the world. I am grateful to get to be one of the 'weavers' & connectors of the unseen Magic that brings about the ripple effect of change, growth, & transformation.
