Getting Published…Get Started!

Do you have a book idea stuck in your head? Or a manuscript hidden away in a drawer?

Learn how to get organized, how to research potential publishers, how to write an effective query letter, what needs to be in a proposal, and whether self-publishing might be right for you. Other topics will be covered as time allows. Olivia will offer facts, support and inspiration to help get your book writing engine revving!

Energy Balancing: Restore, Refresh, Renew

Our energy centers (known in Eastern traditions as chakras) play an essential role in our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It is through these centers that life energy is received, processed and transmitted. Life experiences–such as illness, trauma, stress–may cause blockages, leading to imbalances, dis-ease, and unhealthy patterns of behaviors, actions and reactions. Energy balancing utilizes calming breathing techniques and simple exercises to help rebalance our energy fields, promoting health, vitality and harmony.
