Drumming for Life's Transitions
The Beat of My Journey
Drumming: A Pathway to Transformation
Throughout my journey from scientist to life transitions mentor, drumming has been a constant companion, offering a unique blend of scientific insight and ancient wisdom. This page is a testament to the diverse ways drumming has enriched my life and the lives of those I guide. Each rhythm tells a story, each beat a step towards healing and growth. Join me as I share the transformative power of drumming in navigating life’s transitions.
Drumming is more than just music; it’s a language that speaks to the soul. It has been a pivotal tool in my work, helping me grow and heal, and helping women connect with their inner selves and embrace change. Here, I share my experiences and insights, hoping to inspire others to find their own rhythm in life’s journey,
My book about women and drumming, published by Womancraft Publishing, is coming out in September 2025
