A place where crystals come to be known
About
ANSWERING THE CALL
When the right one comes along,
you know it.
Whether you are new to the crystal world or have been on this journey for years, there is an inner knowing that stirs when that special crystal crosses your path. Whether you feel it as a subtle pull or a wave of recognition that stops you in your tracks, the path opens, even before you understand where it is leading.
For me, that knowing started early– and it never left.
where it all began
Gravel and Diamonds
When I was about five years old, my idea of a really good time was sifting through the landscaping gravel that bordered our driveway, one stone at a time. The native rocks where I grew up were mostly limestone and shell fossils, so the quartz pea gravel was beautiful and fascinating and full of surprises. It kept me busy for hours.
I was looking for the special ones–the pink ones and the clear ones were my favorites. The first time I found a clear one, I ran inside to show my mother, overjoyed that I had found a diamond. My mother tried to set me straight, assuring me that it was “just quartz, sweetheart.” Truth be told I did not believe her, and it did not matter anyway. There weren't many clear ones, they made my heart sing, and that was enough for me.
True confession
After all these years, it is still my idea of a good time to sift through rocks — whether it's a new shipment of crystals or pebbles in the creek. When a shipment arrives I spread everything out on the moss and just sit with them, welcoming each one, falling a little in love, letting them talk to my hands and tell me who they are. It is very much like meeting a newborn and counting fingers and toes. The awe has never left. It just keeps finding new stones to land on.
An evolving spiral
The path here
I began as an artist, a potter and basket maker, still happiest with my hands in the “dirt” , weaving crystals and found objects into my mixed media art. During that time, the attunement between what was happening under my hands and the guidance of my heart grew stronger as I created. The clay spoke to my hands, my heart received the messages and guided the process.
The artist
Working with clay and fiber in 1989 — learning to listen with my hands.
The healer
Nearly 2 decades of healing work, teaching, and listening deeply to the body–Advanced training in Occupational therapy, Craniosacral therapy, massage therapy, and Reiki.
The doula
Birth doula and childbirth educator– nurturing families through transitions of the childbearing year and teaching touch as a first language. Directed The Foundation for Infant Massage and Family Bonding and taught nationwide.
The transformation
By 2014, crystal classes had become an addition to my healing practice, and in 2017 The Lemurian Rose website launched. Then a health crisis took me out of the office for over a year. During that time I had the opportunity to ‘practice what I preached’ and my crystals were my pharmacy. I emerged deeply transformed, with firsthand experience of the healing properties of these stones.
My soul had been laying the next breadcrumb on the trail long before I knew I needed it.
Nearly a decade later,
the threads continue to weave themselves together. The artist. The healer. The teacher. The birth professional who knows what it means to help a being cross a threshold from one world into another — and who recognized immediately that a crystal emerging from the dark earth into the light above it deserves that same gentle welcome.And of course, the five-year-old in the driveway who knows something special when she sees it.
They become themselves
No Reiki, no programming. Only help becoming their most true and pure selves, so that when they cross paths with their person, there is recognition.
When your crystals arrive in your hands, they are clear, awake, and aware. Many times a crystal has already been calling its person long before that person is even aware of it — and what happens when they finally meet is a beautiful beginning – a co-creative relationship between equals.
They rest on the earth
In contact with their mother on this side of the dark soil they were born in.
They move through cycles
Sun and rain, moonlight and starlight. Wind songs, birdsongs, sacred essences, music, gifts of flowers. Some ask for a bath in the creek.
They become themselves
No Reiki, no programming. Only help becoming their most true and pure self, so that when the right person finds it, there is recognition.
When your crystals arrive in your hands, they are clear, awake, and aware. Many times a crystal has already been calling its person long before that person is even aware of it — and what happens when they finally meet is the beginning of a co-creative partnership between equals.
You will recognize it by the feeling in your heart and the knowing in your soul.
