I AM Diane.
Love is my religion. Nature is my church. Mindfulness is my practice.
I create spaces, containers & gifts. I teach & inspire, agitate & elevate…
families, organizations, departments, teams, individuals
My life’s work is about slowing down, showing up, expanding. It’s about helping us reconnect with our bodies, our souls, our community. It’s about shining a light in the dark spaces and sharing that light with others. It’s about values & boundaries & energy. It’s about learning how to manage my mind & listen to my body. It’s about letting my heart lead and allowing us all to follow. It’s about teaching you how to live artfully & heartfully.
In my spaces we’re about stretching not breaking, devotion not discipline, nurturing not coddling. We always reach for compassion & respect. We allow space for reflection & integration. We acknowledge that we are more than these bodies, and that we are each living a very different/similar human experiment, with all of the varying amounts of baggage that each lived experience can bring. We admit that we are in practice.
I AM here for folks who don’t feel like they fit in/don’t know where they fit in.
I AM here for the nice ones, the good kids, the gentle souls.
I AM here for the fiery ones, the troublemakers, the jokesters.
I AM here for the Black gurls & people of the global majority.
I AM here for the hippies, used to bes & wannabes.
I AM here for the littles/children/kids, current day, future & past.
I AM here for the seekers, students & teachers.
I AM here for the therapists, nurses & preachers.
I AM here for the midwives & doulas of birth, life & death.
I AM here for the sex workers, sinners & addicts.
I AM here for people on the margins/at the intersections/who live with oppression.
I AM here for change agents, culture makers & creatives.
I AM here for folks who need a soft landing/space to face/room to breathe.
I AM here for folks who are excited to hear/ready to shift/willing to show up.
When you come in from the garden, the mountain path, surfing the waves, or wherever you’ve been... you’ll find me at the edge of the woods, under Grandmother Oak. Meet me there and let’s chat…
Currently residing in Loveland, Ohio... homelands of the Hopewell, Adena, Myaamia (Miami), Shawandasse Tula (Shawanwaki/Shawnee), and Wazhazhe Maⁿzhaⁿ (Osage) peoples... homelands of my transplanted, mostly German, Christian, white, Ancestors… practicing humility and grace with all of us humans.
Spent much of my life in Ohio and I've been playing with colors, painting walls, creating art & sanctuary since I was a young child. When I was about 6, I got the chicken pox AND my first needlepoint project. When I was 11, we built our first house and I helped clear the trees, stain the woodwork and cut the floor tiles. When I was 17, I was allowed to paint my room any color(s) I wanted and each wall was a different color. When I was 23, I grew & dried my first herbs.
We moved about 10 times before I was 18, and I've moved many more since then... running from and to... ME. ALWAYS connecting with plants & animals more than inside any church... although I like some aspects of religions, including the Catholicism I'm still recovering from. I'm old enough to use 2 spaces after a period and young enough to stretch my love of language consistently. The pandemic finally brought me home to family roots... in Clermont County, Ohio. Each year since, I've expanded our gardens... and have no plans to relocate again.
Along the way, eye have been blessed with teachers, preachers & counselors who've helped me unpack & unlearn so many things. AND I've been continually called into teaching/training... it's happened in EVERY field I've worked in. I created & implemented effective training programs in hospitality, horticulture & massage. I've led workshops, seminars & retreats, speaking to a wide variety of people... from one to hundreds at a time.
An Ordained Minister since 2011, I've officiated weddings, funerals, home blessings & life celebrations.... large & small. Licensed as a Massage Therapist since 2004, I’m currently seeing bodywork clients in my home based Studio and at Massage Envy - Mason. I spent 10+ years teaching massage therapy students... mostly ethics & techniques, also marketing & anatomy. Yep, I've made mistakes... learned & grown. Continue to do so. That's called being human. My daily practices keep me digging in & shining light on myself. And helping you do so too.
Along the way there’s been a bit of politics… click HERE about 2024’s Recorder Campaign, and HERE about related endorsements. These days I work with clients in a variety of ways... including bodywork, consulting, creating, speaking & facilitating. Reach out & let’s see if we’re a good fit.
some of my favorite things...
witnessing "lightbulb moments" of awareness/learning/clarity
helping folks be more flexible & feel better
hearing stories of healing & love
sharing laughs & learnings
playing with color
creating joy
If you want to expand your creative self, celebrate a life or love, explore body & soul work… you’ve come to a good place.
