Essence is a key word for Esther Loopstra, who talks about the importance of connecting to your values and beliefs. By connecting, you learn more about your authentic self and can make decisions guided from that place. She talks about our primal need to be seen and how we can LEARN to tap into our own intuition. Esther is a teacher, an artist, and a creative coach whose work is an extension of her perpetual curiosity. Her art has been shown in galleries, used for print ads, editorials, books, stationery products, textiles, and more. Esther holds degrees in Counseling and Illustration and has taught at Kent State University and Cornish College of the Arts. She obsessively studies neuroscience, the creative process, intuition, mindfulness, and the psychology of FLOW. Esther offers one on one sessions and specialized workshops that allow individuals to connect to their intuition and authentic selves so that they can create AMAZING things in this world.  She talks to host Sheri Hauser about states of flow, creativity, intuition, resilience and so much more!
