Mara Trilby was practically born with a book in hand; she thrives on her love of imagination, and a penchant for the wonders of the Universe! Being an 'only child' she also experienced loneliness and separation growing up. Now -- later in life as an energy intuitive -- she realized there was a need for children's books that could help by illustrating the heart-mind connection, and providing a safe space for self-care and understanding. Mara is grateful for the ability to write, illustrate and publish high-quality stories that encourage and strengthen kids’ confidence, and promote positive change while weaving in a spiritual foundation. Mara has pursued professional studies in Science, Business, Medicine and Spirituality, and is a Quantum Energy channel, herbal medicine practitioner, Reiki Karuna Master and intuitive healer. Whether designing fibre arts, dabbling in blown glass, or mixing up her latest plant-based concoction -- she's always finding new ways to create joy and serve her community. Mara lives, works and plays in the beautiful province of British Columbia (Canada). Please find her latest works and ways to connect at maratrilby.com
