Julie Hightman began her journey as a Holistic Healthcare Professional in 2004. Her focus on volunteering and treating addiction, abused women, veterans returning from war, and hospice have brought her many stories and experiences as a witness and facilitator of healing. Her offerings as a writer and an artist are another essential outlet for the passion and creativity she seeks to share with the world. Author of the Poetry Collection “Seasons of Witnessing” and “The Weighted Feather: Essays for Alchemical Living and Empowering Mindfulness”, and "Why Birds Sing at Dawn: Embracing Death and Change as Transformation", a memoir focused on grief, loss, and philosophy of life and death, Julie’s message to the world is always one of curiosity, cathartic surrender, self-refinement, and the practice of savoring gratitude. If you want to know more about her offerings or stay connected to new reflections and empowering practices, stay tuned via www.FaizHealing.net www.FaizHealing.com "As an artist and poetic philosopher I seek to reveal and define the sensational and cathartic discoveries in the soul of nature and the dance of spirit embodied. Words carry intention like mantras for healing and acknowledgments of this phenomenal world. My poetry invites the reader to connect, engage, and harness the alchemy in their own reflections."Read more about this authorRead less about this author
