Growth, Connection, and Magic
When I first started The Awen Room over a decade ago, it was a leap of faith. I was nervous, riddled with anxiety, and unsure of whether anyone would even come. I decided to turn my daughter’s bedroom into my treatment room, and as I rearranged her space, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I might be making a mistake.
I placed a small ad in the local paper—because that’s how you found clients back then—and waited. The very first day the ad was published, my phone started ringing. I couldn’t believe it. I still remember inviting my mother-in-law over for a massage to practice in my new space. I wanted to make sure I could provide not just a seamless experience but something deeper—something more meaningful than just a regular massage.
After her treatment, she told me how wonderful she felt, and in that moment, a deep knowing rose through me. I told her, “If people could just see what I do, if they could experience it, they would come.” Even though I couldn’t yet find the words to describe the work I was doing, I knew that what I offered was more than massage. I was holding space for people, listening to them, and welcoming them into my life in a way that went far beyond physical treatments.
That was the beginning. It taught me that when you step out of the shadow of anxiety and into the light, incredible things can happen. Anxiety can feel stifling, but sometimes it’s also a sign of how much you care—how deeply you value what you’re creating. The nerves I felt weren’t just fear; they were respect for the work I was birthing into the world.
Now, at 50, I find myself stepping out of the shadows once again—this time in a slightly different way. The Awen Room has always been a deeply personal reflection of who I am, and as I’ve grown more confident in myself and my work, I’ve decided it’s time to share even more of what inspires me.
This year, alongside my hands-on treatments, I’ll be stepping out of the “broom closet” to gently share the magical knowledge I’ve gathered over decades of practice. My online offerings will include teachings on astrology, the wheel of the year, magical recipes, witchy rituals, and ways to integrate magic and mindfulness into daily life.
To reflect this growth, I’m unveiling a new logo that represents everything The Awen Room has become:
✨ The circle symbolizes community, the heart of what I do.
✨ The feathers embody connection, communication, and the magic of sharing stories.
✨ The foliage honors the beautiful Australian landscape I call home.
✨ The moon phases symbolize the rhythms of life and the cycles that guide my work.
✨ The mortar and pestle reflects the blending of modalities and tools I offer to create holistic treatments and teachings.
✨ The stars represent the magic I hope to infuse into everything I do.
The word “Awen” means poetic inspiration, and it’s a concept that has guided me every step of the way. Whether it’s through massage, conversation, or magical teachings, my mission is to hold space for you to heal, transform, and bring a little magic into your life.
This new chapter is about growth—mine and yours. It’s about creating community, both in my treatment room and in the growing online spaces of The Awen Room. I’m so grateful for everyone who has been part of this journey so far, and I can’t wait to share what’s next with you.
Here’s to a year of connection, magic, and growth. 💕
