My Newborn Daughter with me and San Diego beach I walked by often
About me
I was born and raised in Portland OR and my family was called the "VW Bug Family" because we all drove them. I love cats and enjoy other people’s dogs. I left Portland for a number of years and got to live in sunny San Diego and then beautiful Whidbey Island while being a military wife and mom. I have an amazing daughter and she has autism. We realized as she started to grow she needed a bigger city with more resources to better serve her needs so my daughter and I moved back to Portland and settled in while my husband at the time continued his military career. Eventually my first husband and I divorced.
After a while I met my Honey. We became friends, then more and recently we got married.
I enjoy adventures small to big. Below is me on the left in one my VW bugs, indoor sky diving on the right and on Halloween I’d often dress up (me as a cat below) while my daughter trick or treated or we handed out candy.

How Tapping Came Into My Life & Sharing it with my daughter
I’ve been on a healing, peace and joy journey and I was invited by a friend to a presentation about Emotional Freedom Technique also called Tapping. It came in and out of my life for about ten years.
My daughter has tapped with me. When she'd arrive upset we'd Tap to clear the bothersome event and emotions. I love to see her face light up and the bounce in her step return. It's like a dark cloud has lifted and the sun is shining for her again.
How KD's Adventure Got Started
At age seven I wanted to be a nurse but I didn’t have the confidence to pursue it when I was old enough. The draw to help people didn’t leave me. After finishing my college degree I worked for a remarkable acupuncturist. It was enjoyable to see clients get the care they needed. Eventually the business was sold and shortly after I was laid off. I went on a few interviews and realized I want to guide and empower people directly and my journey to open KD's Adventure began with blogging, training and a certification. This opened the door to share what I've learned and empower others.

Why these niches
I have walked through a divorce and other life changes and often used tools as I walked through them. Guiding and sharing what I've learned is what calls to me. I became a certified EFT practitioner in 2016.
Guiding women walking through divorce to build a stronger emotional foundation that can lead to greater confidence, empowerment and joy calls to me. A few ways I am sharing are: Tools for Divorce Community and Women Walking Through Divorce Facebook group
When divorce and other life changes happen it can feel stressful and I believe Stress Release is a part of going from surviving to thriving and adds to a stronger emotional foundation. Stress can rob us of energy, joy and hold us back from aspirations. I noticed stress has held me back and by incorporating tapping and other tools it has improved. I want others to learn how they can lower and release stress too.
A Joyful Life is a part of thriving and adds joy to our emotional foundation: During my certification I blogged and shared on Facebook. In fall 2016 a friend suggested doing a Facebook group and Joyful Life Living was created. I have been on a personal joy journey and I love to share ways to uncover and find more. There is a joy book on Amazon; it’s a joy course in a book.
Sharing tools with others calls to me and I am glad to be doing this.
