Back in 1993 I had started to question my existence and purpose for being here.

My idea of how my life was supposed to be wasn't quite going as planned.

Based on my upbringing I would marry, have children, and find a job that I could stay with until it was time to retire.

I got married even though a part of me knew it wasn't right. (how many of us do this?) Then I tried to get pregnant and this is when I started to change. As I went month after month without becoming pregnant I had to look at my desire, my reasons and my marriage.

I started to question this existence for myself, my purpose. If I was not to become a Mom then what was I suppose to do?

Long story short, a divorce ensued. I was about to get a "do over."

This is where Soul Escape starts.

Since I didn't have any other model of how life could be I started to read. The first book was Life 101. This one book got me to start looking at things in a different way. My whole world started to open up.

Through my own experience of self discovery I wondered if other people felt the same as I did. Wouldn't it be great to have a book store and healing center devoted to self discovery.

As I imagined my store I knew I needed a name. One night after a dream I awoke with SOUL ESCAPE. It was perfect!

So with the intention of this amazing store I felt that it would be in my best interest to study alternative healing. That led me to seek out holistic schools and eventually get my education and credential as a Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP).

So, from a book store, to my own practice, Soul Escape evolved with me and my own journey -- all the while feeling that the name was a perfect and meaningful expression of my dream and ideas.

SOUL ESCAPE is the essence of what I've always intended: to help people connect with that part of themselves that is their true self and live healthier, balanced more joyful lives.
