Everyone calls me simply, M. As an Irish girl, it seems perfect and free spirited.
Zen Living by design is a lifestyle that bridges the soul of nature, water, light and tranquility.
Zen Living by design is a a branch of my business Infrared Light International. As an international award winning infrared photographer, author, Japanese Garden Designer and Koi enthusiast, my mission is that each and every day, Through inspiring words, images, designs, services and interpretations, I will enlighten Chicago and inspire the world to experience Zen Living by their own design.
One of my greatest passions is working with Koi and as I founded The Koi Whisperer Sanctuary in 2010, after I rescued a Koi and became known as “The Koi Whisperer.” I continue to speak for those who have no voice, both in rescuing, healing and educating on the history and holistic care of these incredible creatures. The Zen Living by design studio embraces The Koi Whisperer Sanctuary where I continue to design Japanese Gardens, Koi Ponds and share the beauty of my Tea House on the Fox River. I frequently lecture on Zen Living. and was honored this summer to speak at the Fabyan Japanese Gardens in Geneva, Illinois.
I am thrilled to blog Zen Living by design with ChicagoNow and share my journey of discovery with you so that you too, can design your own Zen Living lifestyle.
Love and Light… M
