Sacramento, California 2000
I stepped into Ondre’s traveling office for the first time and upon eye contact I felt a comforting familiarity. I knew I had found my teacher. At the time I was a high school science teacher, thirsty for information, and with a knowing that there was something else out there within reach, but hiding behind a veil. My thirst for creativity was overwhelming. I had always dabbled with the creative, drawings as a child, making homemade gifts, and experiencing with different mediums, but I only treated this as a hobby. During my first session with Ondre I had not mentioned my creative desires, but instead it was Ondre who brought up Picasso and many other masterpieces that followed in the discussions. Ondre always reminded me with utmost sincerity of my natural abilities and he seemed to carry more belief in me than I did for myself.
At a following session, Ondre revealed that the car accident that I was in at age twelve (which I had never before mentioned) had left me altered. Ondre said that twice I had left my body, once at the scene of the accident and later in the hospital. My spirit left my body, and returned yet in returning it was disengaged. After asking my permission Ondre placed his hands on my shoulder to assist with the energetic splintering. Within seconds, emotional floodgates opened and poured out, reuniting with a memory that was far from my mind prior to the appointment. I now remembered the accident with traumatically painful accuracy. Ondre encouraged me to take a look at my creative self for what it was- an opportunity to create my own healing. Despite the securities of a teaching profession- the consistent pay, benefits, account and time spent along the way, I realized that I owed it to my self to honor my gifts and, more importantly, to share them.

Today I am a full time artist that has confidence, focus, drive, and creative spirit within. I am forever grateful to Ondre for showing me the way. He gave me the strength and belief in my self to help me make my own powerful choices. It is the gift of inspiration he shared with me that I want to pass along to others.
