Welcome!

About Ethan:

I have always been fascinated by everything in nature (humans, animals, wind, rocks, living things, electricity, clouds, chemistry, gravity, human reasoning, cultures, insects, birds, stars, cognition, etc) and tried to learn about the nature of these things and to see the beauty of them.

Currently, I work in I.T. administration and management, I also work in the wholistic health field (I am a hypnotist, stress reduction coach, motivational coach, self-hypnosis coach, meditation coach, weight loss coach, and mind-body coach).
