We provide self-empowering\u00a0programs that are infused with music.\u00a0We\u00a0speak on personal development\u00a0topics \u00a0through a musical lens, and how they interact with vibrational alignment to empower well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n

About Us<\/h1>\n

\"Dianem<\/a><\/p>\n

Music has been an integral part of our lives since early childhood. Performing music allowed each of us to express ourselves to the fullest, especially in\u00a0challenging times.<\/p>\n

Since the day we met in 1993 in an original music performance project, our intention has been to experience and create powerful music with\u00a0audiences. We had so much fun working together that we created more various music projects to perform in, enjoying the same sense of humor and artistic tastes. Embracing a closer professional partnership and personal relationship, we built a successful special event music business that’s been operating over 20 years.<\/p>\n

Navigating our way through life’s intense physical and emotional challenges, we created a wellness pathway of self-empowerment and transformational healing through\u00a0music. Our experiences deepened our awareness of how to\u00a0engage with\u00a0music’s impact to co-create\u00a0our well-being.\u00a0We infused wisdom we gained from experience, integrative healing modalities, and vibrational energy principles into our music, which gave us the tools to transform our lives into a higher vibration of wellness, joy, and fulfillment.<\/p>\n

Through Blessed by Music\u2122 we continue on our journey of expansion with music energetics as we empower others to co-create their vibrational well-BEing, enjoying the fullness of who they truly are. We focus on dynamic awareness, empowered possibilities of well-being, and inspiration for aligning with higher levels of personal potential; delivered through an entertaining music infused format.<\/p>\n

About Dianem<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Music\u00a0has\u00a0always been a healing and powerful force in my life. \u00a0As a baby\u00a0I sang along with my older brother whose favorite pastime was singing and playing records for us,\u00a0musicals were his favorite. As a child I was highly sensitive emotionally, and\u00a0auditorily.\u00a0I\u00a0was detrimentally shy, except for when I was involved with music. At 3 I started singing in church choir, and taking dance lessons. I found it painful to speak in groups, but I was comfortable and animated when singing a solo or participating in dance classes. Music has\u00a0always lifted me higher.<\/p>\n

In grade school I found my “voice” in musical theater. I loved the\u00a0creative,\u00a0shared communication. I felt at home on stage, fell in love with performing, worked\u00a0professionally as a teen, and went on to work in\u00a0musical theater as my adult vocation. My dream career was interrupted however, by challenging physical obstacles. I\u00a0struggled with several\u00a0chronic issues, including decades of\u00a0ongoing debilitating mystery illness (onset\u00a0at 9 yrs.) a painful invisible condition much\u00a0later diagnosed by muscle biopsy in 1999 as genetic\u00a0Mitochondrial Disease (a type\u00a0of metabolic muscular dystrophy) deemed degenerative and incurable.\u00a0 My vocational journey of professional actress &\u00a0singer was continually rerouted to spend time healing and recovering at several centers including the Mayo Clinic Pain Rehabilitation Center (inpatient 6 week program) and the Courage \/ Kenny Center (therapies).<\/p>\n

I began decades of studying both metabolic science and alternative health modalities (including sound healing, breathwork, EFT meridian tapping, energy work, brain balance, Qi Gong, and meditation)\u00a0<\/span>to support a goal of healing myself from a condition that has “no cure”.\u00a0\u00a0As I continued to learn, develop skills, and heal myself, my high sensory intuitive awareness returned\u00a0even stronger\u00a0than when I was a sensitive child, and\u00a0now I wasn’t\u00a0overwhelmed by it, I was Empowered through it. \u00a0I consistently used healing techniques\u00a0and music to create my increasing wellness states, and experienced some amazing realms of Super Consciousness ( akin to my earlier NDE near death experience) that informs my path. The name Blessed By Music came to me and through it I started our company outreach, sought out support partners and I continue studying all manners of the science and art of well-being. I\u00a0didn’t openly share my physical challenges publicly for decades for a few\u00a0reasons, but primarily out of\u00a0concern of it adversely affecting my professional\u00a0opportunities, and impeding my progress as I reversed my condition. I am fully enjoying and embracing my whole wellness journey now, and I’m inspired to share what I’ve learned along my path and empower others to know their well-being.<\/p>\nRead More...<\/span>

I’ve always felt guided in my life and called to do something important with music, \u00a0audiences and connection. My original plan, after going through the worst of the adversity, was to heal myself enough\u00a0to eventually\u00a0return to musical theater where I felt most aligned with my talents. Yet many\u00a0synchronicities along with\u00a0a few miraculous\u00a0events\u00a0led me to realize\u00a0a wonderful transformation\u00a0had\u00a0taken place\u00a0within me, and I wanted to share my life experiences with others who could also benefit from\u00a0self-empowerment and well-being. I discovered new ways to take the stage\u00a0integrating education, singing,\u00a0healing\u00a0<\/span>and theater. By\u00a0speaking about music energetics, resilience,\u00a0authenticity, empowerment and optimal well-being, I live an energetically vibrant\u00a0life.\u00a0I feel\u00a0a deep renewal of happiness, strength, inspiration, and well-being regardless of\u00a0my challenges.\u00a0I’m now free\u00a0to leave the adverse struggle and limits of diagnosis behind and flourish!<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m excited\u00a0to\u00a0empower and uplift\u00a0others by sharing my life lessons\u00a0and musical blessings\u00a0in new ways.<\/span>\u00a0I enjoy\u00a0helping people understand how to hear their inner guidance, consciously create harmony, and employ supportive healing music techniques when facing life\u2019s challenges. Through Blessed by Music\u2122\u00a0<\/span>I share how resilience, creativity, and music, along with holistic modalities and intuition, allowed me to\u00a0<\/span>transform my life from one of struggle, to one of high vibrational thriving, gratitude for my journey,\u00a0and genuine\u00a0happiness.<\/p>\n

Listeners have often told me that my singing\u00a0touches them to their soul, giving them goosebumps. I believe it’s the high vibrational alignment that they feel through\u00a0the song, resonating\u00a0with the powerful impact of sound and their spirit.<\/p>\n

I’m most impressed with music’s ability to heal, teach, and transform. Along with my soul partner, Jage,\u00a0<\/span>I’m excited to share empowering music and messages with others so they can also live their best lives regardless of\u00a0challenging conditions. I derive great joy and healing from singing meaningful songs, sharing my stories, and delivering passionate performances that inspire\u00a0others. \u2014 Dianem

About Jage<\/h1>\n

\"Jage<\/a>Music is a language of emotional expression for me.\u00a0I’ve always been fascinated with creating music, especially with other artists who have a story to tell. When I was young I wrote music for my favorite books. I’ve composed and recorded music for various theatrical performances. Dianem and I met many years ago creating and performing original live music for a dance company.\u00a0Since I can remember I’ve enjoyed\u00a0creating\u00a0music to artistically express the emotions of stories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Except for music, I didn’t used to allow myself to express my emotions. Growing up\u00a0I was a people pleaser, putting the feelings of others before my own. \u00a0I needed to please those around me to feel good, so I frequently pretended to be happier than I was. \u00a0I also believed feelings of anger and sadness were bad, and would avoid, ignore, or suppress those emotions.<\/p>\n

Music was where I allowed myself to have a full range of emotions. \u00a0I realize now that I used music to process my own “negative” emotions that I didn’t want to\u00a0express in other ways. When life was difficult for me, music helped me move through those emotions without judgement. Through depression, self-sabotage behaviors, as well as physical challenges of brain surgery and narcolepsy, my music was there to allow my feelings so I could begin to heal and transform.<\/p>\nRead More...<\/span>

The gift from those health challenges was the awareness and experience of music’s ability to support my healing and well-being. More recently, Dianem and I combined the concepts from holistic practices like Qigong, EFT, meditation, and affirmations with the healing power of music. I use these tools to keep my life resonating with\u00a0more gratitude and authentic inner joy. I now find happiness\u00a0from within instead of seeking it from others and view my past challenges as motivators instead of enemies.<\/p>\n

Now I use music to understand and experience ideas and concepts that are new to me. The easiest way for me to understand something I’ve learned is to find an analogy in music. Whether it’s aura fields or quantum theories, I gain deeper understanding by finding a musical metaphor that I know from experiencing and feeling it. Music helps me take my believing<\/strong> into the realm of being<\/strong> and living<\/strong>. It empowers me to align my feelings with what I wish to experience in the world.<\/p>\n

Music with healing intention has transformed my life and continues to expand my self-awareness. \u00a0It opens my heart and mind whenever I play the piano, and it strengthens my soul. \u2014 Jage<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
