I started as an Etsy seller in 2011 as a jewelry artist creating earrings for people with extra sensitive ears. That was a deeply rewarding time helping thousands of people be able to wear beautiful earrings when they thought it would never possible for them again!
I put my work with sensitive ears on hold in 2020 to move my family to the beautiful island of Puerto Rico where I co-founded a retreat center for compassion care workers who are weary, tired and burned out from the work they do caring for people, with the intention of returning after we had things up and running, but time changes things. Our work in the Rainforest has resonated with so many people that I have shifted my focus to resourcing more people with the tools we offer here and Rainforest Press was conceived, beginning with my Worry Outcome Journal - a tool to re-train your brain and soothe anxiety.
My young adult son who is one the Autism Spectrum and deeply struggles with anxiety was the inspiration for this first journal and it has helped him immensely as he works towards overcoming the worry cycles he falls into. This journal has proven helpful for more than that though, anyone who struggles with breaking the worry loop has found this journal helpful, and I am thrilled to offer it to more people looking for relief from the cycle of anxiety.
