ABOUT | Lightning Ridge Heal

Hi, I'm Tina, the founder of Lightning Ridge Healing Tools. My passion is empowering women to rediscover their inner magic, find their unique voice, and connect with their creativity through drumming, spiritual practices, and community support.

After feeling undervalued in my previous role as an Office Manager, I realized the need for a change. This led me to the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, where I earned a diploma as a Mind-Body Wellness Practitioner, specializing in Nutrition, Mindful Guided Imagery, and Life Coaching. I'm also expanding my skills in Spiritual Coaching, Healing Botanicals, and Earth Ceremonies.

I live in Hanna, UT, with my husband and our pets. When not working, I enjoy nature, drumming, and horseback riding. These activities ground me and connect me to the simple joys of life.

Even before I learned to make my first drum, I knew that I would be offering drum-making workshops, and women's drum circles and I would be creating drums.

The drum is all about connection to me, it helps us to connect with our heart space, it helps us to connect to our Mother Earth and it helps us to connect to each other. When I offer workshops and circles now, I see how healing the drum is, helping us to release emotions, find balance, and allowing us to tap into that joy we often forget.

“Thank you so very much for making that drum for me! It is absolutely beautiful, and everything that I wanted! For it to have been made on the full moon, such an added bonus. That is single-handedly the best Christmas present I could have ever asked for. I will honor and cherish that drum for the rest of my days, I will tell stories of who made it, and where it came from for as long as I have it. I am so honored to have something you have created thank you from the very bottom of my heart it could not have been more perfect.”
