I am a writer, artist, teacher, singer, and healer, not necessarily in that order. I prefer to work with companies and individuals who want to create change for good. I can write anything, including literature, marketing, and technical materials and training. An excellent trainer and public speaker, I excel at connecting with people and delivering the message: Change is constant. Learn what you can do to influence that change in order to create the life you want.
FYI:
My given name was Elizabeth Conner.
I used to be called Becky Conner in my youth.
I changed my name to Serena Mira Asta in 2008.
Translating difficult concepts into plain English. Developing and delivering training programs that encourage people to bring more of their real self into their lives. Coaching people to wake up.
