About Maddy

I am a crafty poetess and passionate speech-language pathologist, with a vision of healing and integration of the mind, body, and soul. My name is Maddy. I have had a deep longing for creative expression for as long as I can remember. I write to express my soul’s passion for mankind and appreciation for each individual’s unique gifts. I write to share my journey from fragmented and ego-driven, to aware and awake (and still growing)! I write to share insight from clinical experiences, to garner empathy and understanding for individuals impacted by communication disorders, as well as highlight the strengths each person has and the lessons they can teach us. I write because I long to explore, discover, grow, and share.
