Words from Chloe:
“We have our rituals every day that we just need to heighten the awareness. So we shouldn’t take walking for granted, or eating for granted, or sitting with a friend. All of these things that come into our lives have a deeper meaning.”
“As a creative person, I was drawn to color, I was drawn to finding my own voice and dressing a certain way. And I think that every person is unique and that every person needs to find their creative voice and follow that, and not have to follow a social norm to feel like they’re accepted.”
“I know what it is to be pressured socially. As a child, I was a very rebellious child. I questioned authority and I questioned what was right and what was wrong – not just for me, but what was imposed on me by others. I think that was part of my initiation was also to question the truth and not just fall into this social pressure of looking a certain way or feeling a certain was as a women, or dressing a certain way.”
“I love working with women in the United States, that they have been programmed to act like men in order to succeed on a professional level. Allowing them to feel safe with their femininity, their sensuality, and their sexuality. And allowing them to feel that just because they can be vulnerable, it doesn’t mean that they’re not strong.”
“The body is just this amazing channel that we can tap into if it’s with Reiki, if it’s with crystals, through smells, aromatherapy, with food. How do we bring wholeness back into ourselves? It’s connection.”
