Hi, I'm Adrienne. Welcome to My World for A Better World
My story, my journey and what makes me the Adrienne leading you today:
Raised by musicians and farmers, music and Earth soul connection has been part of my life since I was born. As a little girl, music was magic. And to me, it still is. I began classical training at the piano at age four and started horn at eleven. My journey with music led me to complete two degrees in horn performance, including my master’s from the Indiana University Jacob’s School of Music. I then moved to Chicago where I got on the orchestral audition circuit and built the life of performance and teaching that I live today. My move to Chicago was a shock to the system. Not only had I entered the “real world” post grad-school, I was not surrounded by musicians for the first time in my life. I began to notice things about the world and my experiences. What realized is that not only had I excelled at the technical skill of playing an instrument, but through this process I had cultivated a skillset and values that impacted every part of my life in a profound way.
I have been taking private music lessons for 25 years and counting. I view this as a lifelong class. I have had truly phenomenal teachers that have inspired me to expand, rise and achieve my dreams. I also experienced damaging teachers and dogma in the classical music culture, which from a young age fostered harmful beliefs and stamped creativity. All of my experiences have informed who I am and what kind of musician and teacher I want to be. Knowing the power and ripple of teaching and the challenges of our modern world, I committed to a belief system and vision as a teacher that I call Mindful Music. I founded Mindful Music in February 2020.
Life as a competitive musician from a young age gave me invaluable skills and at the same time was no walk in the park. Through the realities of the culture, I met my darkest shadows and ultimately my rock bottom. Shortly after beginning Mindful Music, I shared my personal story in my inaugural blog, “How Music Broke Me and Mindfulness Put Me Back Together”.
In that sharing, I cast a vision for mindfulness and being a coach to other musicians. I felt a deep call to pay it forward and share the power of mindfulness, conscious living and coaching with musicians for them to heal themselves from the harmful, yet common, experiences in music culture. This was an extension of Mindful Music.
And yet, I had not quite hit the nail on the head. With the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world around me was drastically changing and so was my internal world.
I came to even deeper truths about myself, what I want to contribute and what I'm meant to be, do and create with my life. I discovered that I have a deep devotion to sharing mindfulness, yoga, meditation and coaching with all people, not just musicians. These practices and ways of being are for all human beings. They deeply benefit all who choose them. They pave a path for peace, potential and lives fully lived.
In 2020 I began yoga teacher training and after a year of formal study, became a certified yoga teacher. That still wasn’t it though…I simultaneously found Breathwork and went full force into my own healing of my nervous system - this is where I truly quantum leapt. Once I combined it with my years of study using the divine timing of astrology - I unleashed a level of potential I had yet to tap. I was obsessed and got certified as soon as possible to share with I discovered with others.
In just one year I catapulted into $10K+ months in my soul business, then $20K+ months. I healed relationships in myself, my bloodline, my romantic life and stepped forward as a spiritual leader. I remembered my power as a Lemurian priestess who incarnated to spearhead New Earth in the ancient codes of Gaia and in 2022 I officially completed my Shamanism training, receiving my name WHITE EARTH STAR. I took a leap and relocated to Maui in August of 2023 based on my soul’s call to step forward into a holistic leadership role as a keeper of this frequency. It all cosmically unfolded to heights and dreams I imagined for years that came to fruition through my story, my modality and the unique lens I offer my clients today.
Today you find me embodying my full power as a spiritual guide, leader, astrologer, Shaman, Breathwork facilitator and innovator of coaching methods to unlock the potential of leaders around the globe! I am OBSESSED with what I do and daily I am grateful that I get to support amazing souls in living their dreams. Not just for themselves, but for every life they touch and their important contribution to building A Better World.
