Ever since I’ve known Nina, she’s been a powerful source of healing energy. Her third eye is as open as is her deep heart. She is in tune with Mother Nature, the ancestors and energy planes in ways I aspire to be and she’s been a wonderful teacher in her ability to show versus tell.

When Nina asked me to design a logo for her new journey into a practice very near and dear to her, I was overjoyed because not only do I get to work with her again (see her Windhorse stamp) but I get to create something with loving intention so as to help her kick-off this new path in helping others.

She requested a protective barn owl gently looking over a human ready for passage into the next plane. Nina wanted the human to be a part of the landscape, symbolizing the connection between our bodies and Mother Nature. The hair would be worked seamlessly from the foreground into the middle ground.

As I read her description for what she wanted a swell of warm, goosebumps came over me. One of my favorite memories of Nina is when, a few years back while we were camping outside Oregon Country Fair for a friend’s wedding, she performed a Reiki ceremony on a fellow camper who had sprained his ankle in the woods. Nina’s healing energy helped this human enjoy the rest of his time with much less pain than otherwise. And, honestly, that’s just Nina. She embodies healing energy and if you’re lucky enough to spend time with her you feel it in your heart, body and soul.

I am tremendously honored to have created this logo for a beautiful human I hold in such high regard. Please read more about Nina’s practice and share with those who could benefit.
