Meet Maddy

Both of my grandmothers’ lives ended in poor health and much too early, while I was still in my early twenties. Gram was dear to me and I missed her intensely. I had been shy around Oma, only beginning to realize the dark twists of history she’d experienced – I never did question her closely as I would like to today. As I grew into womanhood I became curious about the quality of Gram’s and Oma’s lives, relationships, and empowerment (or lack thereof) over their own health and bodies. I intuitively knew that I don’t believe our genetic link predestines me to a similar end! I owe it to the legacy of strong, creative, beautiful women in my both family lines, and the futures of my son and daughter, to shake things up and live a wholly different quality of life. Therefore I sought and found plenty of evidence that our bodies, minds, and spirit are linked. Today I have a voracious appetite for books, pioneers, and science that prove the premise.

Since circa 2005 I have deliberately engaged in the daily creation of a healthy and beautiful life; using tools and practices that I’ve found along the way with a wide open heart. Wherever I go and meet new friends, I find them to hungry for the same vibrant life they see me now enjoying.  In 2009 I created Vibrant One to inspire others to create and enjoy a full-spectrum life as well.

Along the way I’ve had gigs as a professional violinist, an admin in the Atlanta music industry, in HR for aerospace, I got a degree in music and an MBA, I developed leaders in a fortune 50 company, became an executive coach, and regularly facilitated personal development experiences for women. In August 2011 I was honored to receive the Team Northrup Vision Award from Dr. Christiane Northrup, a pioneer in women’s health and mind/body connection whom I’ve long admired.

My biggest turn-ons are authenticity, beauty, health, nature, sensuality, inspired ideas, financial freedom, and family. My family and I live in Austin, Texas and anticipate returning to my home state of Maine in the summer of 2012.
