Maggie Thomson-Kurz
With an educational background in a university setting, Maggie was able to begin her exploration of self by studying many topics including psychology, eastern philosophy, women’s studies, poetry, and theatre. Through her studies she stumbled upon a calling to empower women and girls at transitional points in their lives. With dreams of being a midwife, her gentle and compassionate soul continues to drive her to learn about many different transitions girls and women face. Through a steady and dedicated yoga practice Maggie has learned to shed layers of social conditioning that disempowered and disembodied her throughout her teenage years. In explorations of creativity Maggie has began to play with words, songs and spoken word poetry. She believes words to be important keys to our own psychology and that through fun and spontaneous adventures with them we can learn much about ourselves.
