The Origin Story of Heart Portraits

Heart portraits were born in 2018.

I was studying Reiki and learning that I had intuitive gifts I had not known about.

Wanting understand these gifts, I met with a wise woman. I brought two hearts I had created for her, one 2 years prior, the other that morning.

When I gave them to her, she asked me, “How long have you been tuning into people’s hearts?”

That question began my conscious journey with Heart Portraits.

Two days after our conversation, six years years ago, I wrote in an exercise of Julia Cameron‘s The Artist’s Way: I would like to draw peoples hearts.

Immediately in my dreams, I started receiving heart images meant for particular people. I didn’t necessarily know the people well, or have regular contact with them…

Leaning into trust that I was doing what I was called to do, I created the images and shared them with the people they were meant for. I learned quickly that the images also had messages for the recipient:

• always affirming

• always supportive

• sometimes surprising

• sometimes instructive.

The readings have evolved over time. Following guidance from Spirit, along with image and words, each session now includes essential oils and a unique sacred space.

I am honored to have been given the sacred gift of seeing peoples hearts in this way.

Without exception, every heart has been beautiful,

• even the broken ones,

• even the hurting ones,

• even the uncertain ones.

What would your heart reveal to you?

What would your beautiful heart look like today, next season, in a year?
