 The Joyful Path LLC is born...
   Since 2012, I've helped performing artists get past invisible barriers that seemed to interrupt their shows on stage and demonstrated accessible pathways to free-improvisation without feeling naked and vulnerable. It feels wonderful to connect.

"In fact, I realized that I LOVE connecting with people more than just about anything: listening deeply, healing, and finding new joy."
​
This happens when I compose music and audiences are rapt in the atmosphere created by the performing artists.

It also happens with coaching. 
 
Thus came my huge leap to embrace investment in coaching and growth. I am pleased to say that I've received certification for my extended studies from Evercoach, accredited by the International Coaching Federation, from Positive Intelligence via Shirzad Chamine at Stanford, and from Christian Michelsen. Now I help young adults in devastating pain find a joyful path to healing.

Don't forget, there's a  business tribe for artists based on each subscriber lifting a small amount of the weight (just like tuning your own instrument or stretching your own body). Your investment - show up for the conversations - we'll talk about creative flow in the culturescape, some of us will write new music, based on you and your students, quartet and choir members or artists and dancers influence, and then you get to have it and use it. You even get your names registered on it. Join the tribe! 

Music for Women with violinist Elmira Darvarova and Howard Wall is also on Affetto/Naxos.
