If you had asked the 10-year-old me whether I would ever become a songwriter, I would have laughed and said, “No chance!”

In grade 6, my music teacher told me to never sing, “Just let the other kids sing in the choir because I “was no good at it.” In my later teens, I signed up for guitar lessons and ended up being given my money back. The teacher told me I was unteachable. I wasn’t exactly off to a great start in the world of music.

So I believed the story:
“I’m not musical.”
“I should never sing.”

And I carried that belief with me for decades.

Then life changed…

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I found myself needing something, anything, that helped me cope. I would sit outside in the sunshine, focusing on healing my body, mind, and spirit. In those quiet moments, something beautiful began to happen…

Words started coming to me. They were gentle messages of love, hope, and strength. And then those words turned into music.

Without trying.
Without forcing.
Without judgment.

Just flow.
Just healing.

Music became my medicine

I learned something powerful:

Healing doesn’t always come from doctors and machines.
Sometimes, healing arrives as a song.

Music lifted my spirit.
It calmed my nervous system.
It brought me comfort and joy.
It gave my soul a voice again.

Soon, I realized these songs weren’t only healing me…
They were meant to help others too.

Songs with purpose — songs with heart

Today, I have the joy of creating music that supports:

🎵 People going through cancer
🎵 Children learning, growing, and having fun
🎵 Families wanting to honor and celebrate their beloved pets
🎵 Pets and their humans looking for calm and connection
🎵 Anyone needing comfort, strength, or hope

These songs help people cope.
They help people heal.
They help people move forward.
And they help remind us that we are never alone.

Experience the Healing for Yourself

Here are some of the musical offerings I’ve created to support you, your loved ones, and your pets:
