Beautiful Necessity Services & Products

Welcome to Beautiful Necessity based in Apple Valley, Minnesota. I believe that each of us has abundant wisdom and creative vision to create life-enhancing health and happiness for ourselves and our world, but we often don’t take the time to dream, to clarify, and to “say yes!” to what we really want.

As a holistic health coach, energy healer, historian, researcher and writer, I am dedicated to co-creating soulful spaces for personal, community, and planetary health and sustainability. I artfully reconnect you with your intuitive wisdom and your heart’s desires so you can remember and return to your own brilliant radiance and optimum health.

Together we explore and implement visionary ideas, tools, processes and resources for you to reclaim a healthy body, mind, home, and life – one empowering step at a time.
