the books
The Guide to Living Upward is an empowering companion for building a compassionate dialogue with yourself. Through six thoughtful chapters and 33 themes—like Resilience, Acceptance, Boundaries and Forgiveness—this interactive journal offers inspiring stories, meditations, reflective prompts and transformative practices for self-love. More than just a book, it’s a supportive guide to cultivating peace and intention in everyday life, helping you rediscover the wisdom within.
After Rain is the first book of this series, a beautiful coffee-table-style collection of words and images of the life-giving energy of Mother Earth.
“The Living Upward Experience supported me through a profound period of change in my life. Through readings, journaling, group discussion and guided inner work, I “re-membered” who I truly am. I discovered magic in the everyday moments, greater love in my relationships and the courage and know-how to address big life challenges. Then I dove deep into the practice of helping others do the same.
Now as a certified Guide to Living Upward, I have the skills and insight to support my clients on their journeys of personal growth and self-discovery. Whether in a coaching session, at a retreat, or on a Rocky Mountain trail, I help others quiet the expectations of the external world. Together we nurture their inner pilot light, and fan the flames of micro and transformative change.”
