I’m Christy…
Mom of 2 amazing Humans. (and a few dogs and cats). Wife. Friend. Musician. Teacher. Business Owner. Sound Practitioner.
Lover of silence. A hater of “shoulds”. Dragonfly Chaser. Queer. Healing & a Healer. Doubter. Questioner. Mystic.
I Love God, and a good cup of coffee or tea. I believe everything is spiritual, and redefining what is sacred.
I still believe that music and community can change the world for the better. And that everything is connected - everything & everyone.
Depression & Anxiety are my sidekicks - they are with me, but they sit in the backseat. They don’t drive anymore.
Trauma happens to everyone. And I’m no longer defined by my own.
Mindfulness, music, nature, and therapy keep me grounded in this world. Writing…songs, poetry, & journaling…allow me to see my feelings.
I believe there is not a part of your body, mind, or soul that music doesn’t effect.
I believe we ALL are creative and have rhythm. And that we are co-creators of a universal song that has been playing since the beginning of time.
We all have a voice -if you can talk then you can sing. The world just does it’s best to quiet it.
Meditation is the simplest, and hardest, thing you can ever do. For me, mindfulness is a rebellion to our hustle culture that allows me to just show up to each moment! Playing guitar brings both of these practices together for me.
What I Do...
My mission is to make learning, listening, and playing music a way to cultivate peace within ourselves, then reverberate that peace and joy, into the world. I believe music is medicine; giving us an outlet to self-care and self-expression.
I have played guitar for more than 30 years, songwriting for 25 years, & taught hundreds of people a mindful way to play guitar and ukulele over the last 15 years. I love to teach. Music is also my meditation. And began leading Sound Meditation Classes 2022. And I've studied and practiced mindfulness since 2012.
