After years of living in the shadow of chronic illness with the ache it left on my mental health, I began to believe I was broken beyond repair. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t seem to find my way back to myself. But I was wrong. From the depths of my own suffering, a quiet strength began to rise. Slowly, I started the sacred work of healing, and that path led me to something unexpected. I found joy, purpose, and a deep remembering of who I’ve always been.
For most of my adult life, I have lived inside a body that hurts. Years of chronic illness, countless surgeries, pregnancy loss left me feeling hollowed out. I felt like I had lost the thread that once tethered me to who I was. I moved through the world on autopilot, trying to be everything for everyone while feeling less and less like myself. In fact, as I made the decision to heal, I realized that I hardly knew myself. What transpired next was a complete becoming.
Nice to meet you. I’m Stacie.
From this journey, I’ve become an author, advocate, and artist. I’m grateful for the beautiful new paths that have opened up for me.

My journey to heal has inspired me to write letters of love and dedication to my children. As I finished, I realized many others could find a mother’s voice very comforting. My first book is a catalog of these letters.

I’ve speak frequently to groups and on podcasts, sharing my inspirational story of grief, loss, pain and healing. My artistic journey has led me to facilitating women’s groups, discovering the power of the creative journey.

With deep respect for the creative process, I have taken my lifelong love of creating and desire to help others to develop a unique approach to art. I am not tied any specific artistic medium. In fact, I quite enjoy trying new skills and learning new mediums. The consistency for me is in my approach. I seek to educate others on the powerful healing that can be found in creating.
