Simply put, I'm a creative. After years of exploring various roles—mother, photographer, artist, esthetician, entrepreneur, educator, and flower enthusiast—I've chosen to identify as such. My passion for creation takes many forms, from photographing nature, flowers, and people, to creating beautiful floral arrangements, styling my home, outdoor space, and studio, to sketching small animals and flowers. I am a curator and collector of beautiful things. This includes vintage artwork, china, table linens, and vases that I can use for my floral arrangements. If it's beautiful, vintage, handmade, and local, I feel compelled to own it and share it with the world.
Through our immersive, in-person workshops, we create a space for you to build deep, lasting relationships and rediscover the beauty of nature and community. We also offer a thoughtful online magazine filled with practical resources, expert insights, and daily habits that empower you to live a life of joy and purpose, away from constant screen time. Additionally, our carefully crafted visual storytelling provides a mindful escape, turning your necessary screen time into moments of reflection, growth, and inspiration.
At The East Experience, we’re committed to helping you create a life that feels truly fulfilling, where you can reconnect with yourself, others, and the world around you.
Workshops
We believe that true happiness and personal growth stem from being present in the moment and nurturing real-world connections.
Our workshops will help you build community connections, step away from screens, and reconnect with nature through the art of floral arranging. Each session opens with a wellness moment—where you'll learn to release stress through touch, breath, and aroma. You'll discover practical ways to be more present and manage screen time in your daily life. And of course, you'll learn to create beautiful, simple flower arrangements for your home.
Online Magazine
We believe in the power of thoughtful, long-form content to combat the endless cycle of shallow, mindless scrolling that dominates today's social media landscape.
Every Sunday, I send out "The Sunday Bloom," our online newsletter/magazine (via the Substack app) filled with practical knowledge, curated resources, and daily habits to help you live more joyfully beyond screens. You'll get intimate behind-the-scenes glimpses of the East family's travels and adventures, featuring floral photography, flower arranging tips, and garden updates.
Visual Storytelling
When photographing and filming
nature,
I find deep peace—it's like connecting with the universe itself.
Through my love of visual storytelling, I've launched a YouTube channel with long-form content that transforms screen time into mindful moments. In these videos, I share my family's travels to beautiful destinations, along with flower arranging tutorials and glimpses into my garden journey. It is my hope these videos offer you moments of peace, inspiration, and reflection in your own life.
