Charlotte James is a soulful, creative and multi-passionate human committed to her path of purpose and service.  In her private practice, HeartSprings, she offers “Somatic Integrative Arts”, a dynamic fusion of relational bodywork, life coaching, and expressive arts.  Her work is an innovative approach to living an embodied, creative and purposeful existence.

Listen, as she shares how grief is a living, breathing, pulsating experience constantly changing and growing with her; how she's gone from: early in life, if asked if she could survive her biggest losses (that she has now faced), the answer would have been "Absolutely, not!  No way!"--to: finding gratitude and grace in her grief; and the importance of expressive arts along her journey.
