Denise DeMaras is a single female author, artist, holistic health coach, and publisher living in Los Angeles, CA. Her authority in self healing practices and goes beyond her studies and certifications - it lies in her experience and is evident in her writing. Like many creative personalities, she experienced many dramatic changes early on in life and knows well the fear and pain involved in changing and moving in new directions. Her search for ways to feel better and get through the obstacles in the path to emotional well being is extensive and has been determined. Getting through personal resistance, learning her limits, placing boundaries to express her true self has led her to many teachers and methods.  As a holistic practitioner, she knows that everyone is unique but her experience has shown her that everyone has an inner artist to show them the way to heal their emotions through the creative process. She believes that "getting through the pain is really a matter of choice it takes as long as you want it to - letting go is the key to setting your free." Formerly, she had a full career in operations and development in hospitality and then in the Spa Industry where she learned many techniques for healing. During that time, she wrote manuals, advice and informative magazine columns and articles about self help and metaphysics. Then after a cross country road trip from LA to CT, with her dog, she decided to further her education in self healing and development in New York.   After a few years of study she returned to Southern California and continued her studies at the Chopra Center and Chapman University. Just as she was finding her footing in her new work, she was in a car accident. The accident presented new opportunity to measure the effectiveness of all she learned and was teaching to others about self healing methods. Her book, Heal from your Heart with Breath Rhyme and Art was originally intended to document this but in the end became a creative expression of her healing journey and discovery of a new method, Rhyme to Heal©.  Chopra Certified in Meditation Instruction, Chapman Certified in Art for Healing Instruction and Board certified by the America Association of Drugless Practitioners, and certified Holistic Health Coach from Columbia University and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Her Bachelor of Science is in Business Administration from the College of Charleston. Her life experience and education amount to a highly knowledgeable and effective Self Healing Practices Guide.   Website:      www.denisedemaras.com Website:      www.artwritepublishing.com Twitter:         www.twitter.com/@mindfulmusing Twitter:         www.twitter.com/@artwritepublish Facebook:    www.facebook.com/DDemaras Email:          denise@denisedemaras.com
