About me
I was born and raised in Portland OR and my family was called the "VW Bug Family" because we all drove them. I love cats and enjoy other people’s dogs. I enjoy adventures small to big. Below is me on the left in one my VW bugs, indoor sky diving on the right and on Halloween I’d often dress up (me as a cat below) while my daughter trick or treated or we handed out candy.

My Newborn Daughter with me and San Diego beach I walked by often
After I married I left Portland, for a number of years and got to live in sunny San Diego and then beautiful Whidbey Island while being a military wife and mom. I have an amazing daughter and she has autism. We realized as she started to grow she needed a bigger city with more resources to better serve her needs. It was time to move back to Portland with my daughter. We settled in while my husband, at the time, continued his military career.
How Tapping Came Into My Life & Sharing it with my daughter
I’ve been on a healing, peace and joy journey and I was invited by a friend to a presentation about Emotional Freedom Technique also called Tapping. It came in and out of my life for about ten years.
My daughter has tapped with me. When she'd arrive upset we'd Tap to clear the bothersome event and emotions. I love to see her face light up and the bounce in her step return. It's like a dark cloud has lifted and the sun is shining for her again.

How KD's Adventure & Empower Grow Transform Got Started
Since I was a child there was a draw to serve people. After finishing my college degree I was hired to do the billing and other office tasks by a remarkable acupuncturist and she used tapping in her practice. Eventually the business was sold and shortly after I was laid off. I went on a few interviews and realized I want to guide and empower people directly and my journey to open KD's Adventure began with blogging, training and a tapping (EFT) certification. This opened the door to share what I've learned and empower others.
Why this niche
After 20+ years of marriage, on a dark and dreary night, I was served with divorce papers, right before the holidays. It felt devastating to have 20+ years of marriage ending. I wish I would have had the tools I share to walk through it easier (I did have other tools). Good things happened, friends and family were there for me. I started a new career that led to what I’m doing now, new friends and a mentor showed up and when the time was right, a great man came into my life, we became friends and then more. We married in 2018.
I have walked through divorce and other life changing transitions and often used practices and tools as I walked through them. Guiding women walking through divorce build a stronger emotional foundation that can lead to greater empowerment and joy calls to me. Some ways I am sharing are:
When divorce and other life changes happen it can feel stressful and I believe Stress Release is a part of going from surviving to thriving and adds to a stronger emotional foundation. Stress can rob us of energy, joy and hold us back from moving forward. I noticed stress has held me back and by incorporating tapping and other practices and tools it has improved. It's important to learn how to lower and release stress.
Reducing fear and stress is a part of divorce and life and sharing tools to reduce these adds to more joy and a more peaceful heart.
A Joyful Life is a part of thriving and adds joy to our emotional foundation: During my certification I blogged and shared on Facebook. In fall 2016 a friend suggested doing a Facebook group and Joyful Life Living was created. I have been on a personal joy journey and I love to share ways to uncover and find more. There is a joy book on Amazon.
Sharing practices for women to use to empower grow and transform is my calling and I'm glad to be here doing this.
