Kate McElroy
Our Innocent
Full of joy and a deep belief in making the most of whatever might come. It's amazing just being around Kate and that smile of hers. Her insight and intuition is incredibly powerful and transformative for all of us.
An awesome graphic designer, she brings creativity and collaboration to all aspects of her life and encourages the same in others.
Jill Johnson
Our Light

If anyone can bring light to anything, it's Jill. She brings her unique mix of world class athlete, artist, art therapist, writer, diverse background which includes being an athlete for the US Freestyle Ski Team, a birth/postpartum doula and women’s rights advocate, hospice/palliative grief and loss counselor, spiritual ceremonies/rites of passage facilitator, outdoor enthusiast, world traveler and writer. My experience informs and influences my practice.

Julie Gunnerud
Our Optimizer

There's not much Julie can't make better. She just naturally sees the opportunity, the simpler path, the clarity. An artist in her own right, amazing graphic designer and a truly passionate believer in the importance of art and creativity in life, she brings a diverse understanding of it all to the low-brow artists in all of us ;-)

Tiffany McKenna
Our Passionista
​
You'll never wonder what Tiffany is passionate about. She chooses it in everything she does - always looking for fresh, new approaches that make a real difference in people's lives.
A firm believer in living a creative life and going with the flow of it, she's fallen in love with Franklin, TN in great part because it's a part of our country that seems to celebrate finding your own way of living creatively.
