About Maggie

Hi, my name is Maggie!

Music, dance, and art have been my deep medicine for 58 years. On my journey of creative expression, I have healed and continue to heal ancestral-familial wounds, cultural wounds, and societal wounds.

Throughout my life, I learned how to smile and be a pleaser and caretaker. I have struggled to find my authentic voice out of fear of taking up space in a world where there is so much pain and struggle. I have worked hard at defining who I am in a world that told me, “I wasn’t good enough, smart enough, tall enough, artistic enough, deserving enough.”  

As I age, I become more of who I am and want to be through my own writing, movement, art, performance, and storytelling. I am passionate about helping women find their authentic voices and empowering women to be themselves.

It is time for us all to spread our wings and soar. To take up space to be heard and seen. Together we can fly!

Here I am, me again.

A year older, wiser and stronger. 

A year of tears to shed and joy to release. 

Who am I? Where did I come from? Where do I want to go?
