About Wowza
From Woe to Wow
My story, From Woe to Wow, which is now an inspirational talk, exemplifies how to weave the traumatic threads of a wounded personal history – the pain of physical/emotional abuse, a disfiguring skin disease, crossed-eyes and crippling inhibition – into a tapestry of magic that goes beyond the limitations of prevailing myths.

Empower – Embody – Express
With few outlets in our society to release the buildup of repressed emotions in healthy, creative ways, I coach people how to shift existing trauma, emotional buildup, and unsolvable conflict into the discovery of healthier, more vital possibilities of expression.
Going deeper than talk therapy, regaining the original resources of creative self-expression is an empowering pathway in liberating the beauty and power of your essential nature. This is a unique opportunity to clear self defeating physical, emotional and mental patterns that inhibit your body’s wisdom, inner radiance and natural genius.
Each individual session is tailored to your specific needs. The atmosphere is non-judgmental, warm and supportive. Sessions focus on integrating your body, voice and emotive expression for the purpose of experiencing new levels of vital energy, personal power and intuitive resources.
In this Expressive Arts process, the MASK is perceived as a sacred instrument of metamorphosis. Entering this magical playground on the Ball wearing a mask of a radically different character offers permission to explore and invent anew, different aspects of our nature that rarely can be expressed in daily life. The creation of brand new plot lines and a unique ways to sound and move, excites the nervous system, stimulates emotional response, and unleashes unlimited creative expression. Being multidimensional by nature, Mask Play is a powerful medium that provides permission to shift in or out of any limiting role or behavior at will.
