My journey began over 20 years ago in the heart of the forest. As a wildlife biologist, I created connections with many wild animals during my work. Even while focused on the science of the work, I experienced profound, inexplicable moments of connection and communication with these majestic beings. Those encounters are why I chose to do this work and instilled memories that will forever resonate
within me. As I began doing personal development and transformational work, I came to appreciate the profound truth that everything is energy. This inspired my artwork, what I fondly refer to as 'energy art.' I craft fractal art imbued with specific energy and fuse it at times with AI art, all designed to inspire and facilitate healing.. https://maryann-benoit.pixels.com/
This understanding of energy - how it pervades our surroundings, and our homes, and impacts our health and well-being - forms the cornerstone of my Interior Design Business, Northern Lights Home Staging and Design. I call my design philosophy 'Aligned Design', as it seamlessly fuses art, science, and energy. My design philosophy is called “Aligned Design” because it aligns art, science, and energy. https://northernlightsstaging.com/. Animals, too, are part of this interconnected web of energy. Sharing our spaces, both outdoors and indoors, their energy intertwines with ours, imparting profound lessons and, at times, absorbing our stresses. To delve deeper into this coexistence, I trained as an animal communicator with Ditte Young through her Animal Telepathy Master Course. Moreover, as a certified Tai Chi and dance instructor, I observe and teach others the significance of energy flow through our bodies, and how it impacts our mind, body, and spirit, and indeed, those who observe us. You may wonder about the relevance of animal communication on an Interior Design website. But for me, and indeed for all of us, it's all interconnected. To truly live a life brimming with happiness, one that aligns with your authentic self, consider the energy around you. Be it the energy of your pets, your artwork, the objects in your home, or the way you move your body, it all holds significance. Why not sculpt your life into its most beautiful form?"
