Whitney Freya
Creative & Reclamation Coach
Since 1996, when she dared to open an art center with ZERO art background, Whitney has been committed to creating her own most inspired life & then helping others to do the same. Whitney discovered, what we spend our most attention on, and where we send our intention (often without awareness) is truly what determines our life experience. Learning to live as a Life Artist gives us the perfect perspective through which we can TAKE BACK our power. What does that mean?
It means that you go within to reconnect to what YOU want, what LIGHTS YOU UP, what INSPIRES you, what calls to your FEARLESS self & what you want to CREATE in this lifetime. Whitney helps people FREE our minds from the should’s and have-to’s and reconnect to the present moment magic that can take your breath away!
