About Me

I am an author and educator, as well as a certified sound healer, vibrational therapist, Reiki Master, and certified meditation facilitator. I am the owner of Rose Ray Healing Arts and co-founder of Lotus & Rose Healing Therapies, a space located on Cape Cod in Sandwich, MA. I am passionate about empowering people to access self-healing through reflective and restorative practices, such as writing, mindfulness and sound. 

 

The friction of my lived experience has led me to examine the threads of my ancestors and how, collectively, they have shaped me. After the devastating loss of my beloved Nana at age twelve I became aware that I could sense and feel energy. My intuition began to bloom along with my body. As my world widened, so did my quest. In early adulthood, I lost three friends in a sixteen-month period. The losses were unexpected and seismic, and the reverberations carried on for years. This was a time of pain and exponential growth, and of questioning and rewriting outdated beliefs. I have found great comfort in the energetic threads of the love that lingered.

 

Along my journey I have gathered my wise and benevolent ancestors and have accessed healing through writing, rituals, and intentional practices. This intimate space of healing has given me a wealth of understanding, courage and deep compassion. These practices became the catalyst for Rose Ray Healing Arts. To enhance my devotional rituals, I curated a line of meditation and intention setting sprays and “on the go” fragrant rollers. You can find these Rose Ray products in small shops in Massachusetts. 

 

As the mom of four boys, I know the beauty and challenges of raising a family, particularly with a child on the spectrum. Fueled by love and desire to provide hope to other families, I was inspired to write A Life Suspended: A Mother and Son’s Story of Autism, Extinction Bursts, and Living a Resilient Life. I am humbled by the connections I have made with parents and professionals. I understand the drive, fear and uncertainty of writing in long form and how overwhelming it can be, which is why I began offering services as a developmental editor. It is a joy and privilege to support writers as they navigate birthing their book.

Roots Of Practice

One of the key components of my writing practice is mindfulness. In my experience, slow activities such as meditation, journaling, yoga, and forest bathing, provide clarity and focus, which enhance my daily life. When I am traveling at a slower pace, I can breathe into the constricted places within my body and mind, encouraging them to soften.

 

I can greet myself exactly where I am, with self-awareness and self-compassion. For me, walking in nature is a living prayer. Taking time to notice the miraculous show through plants, animals and landscapes, is inspiring and humbling. To be surrounded by natural beauty is nourishment for the soul. Reflective and intuitive journaling has helped me to examine and release old stories, liberating me to move with grace and confidence into the next chapter. These rooted practices and rituals of stillness provide me with a sense of belonging and, from there, anything is possible.
