Lakenda is a woman who revels in wearing many hats: Mommy, Writer, Pinkie, Marketer, Healer, and, of course, Good Witch. "Through each and every doorway, I have found more truth about myself. So I continue to push more doors open." However, one thread runs through all her multi-tasking: Nurturer—no matter the hat, no matter the environment.

As a healer with more than fifteen years of research and practice in complementary and alternative medicine, her writing is deeply connected to her mission to heal and evolve the human spirit—whether through practical advice or philosophical musings. Her “tool box” includes Reiki, aromatherapy, flower essences, and guided meditation with special focus in the areas of stress management and emotional balance.

Having suffered from depression from childhood into her late 20’s, Lakenda has walked the long, winding road to finding her mojo. "I discovered new levels of self-acceptance...healing past abuse, recognizing self-sabotage and reconnecting to my spirit, as it had always been, whole, worthy and waiting for me."
