Lynne Austin lives in Waukesha, Wisconsin, with her husband and four grown children. Lynne draws from her experiences as a registered nurse, holistic practitioner, and spiritual teacher. As her clients have reached out to her, looking for answers in life, she realized that we are all seekers, no matter what age. This prompted her to write for the first seekers — children. Her first book, Edith Ann Marie-The Sun is in My Heart, was written out of the memory of her loving relationship with her grandmother, Lena. Lynne complements the written word with her original artwork. All work is three dimensional, using hand-made paper, material, pastels and acrylics.
Lynne has been published in spiritual magazines in the Midwest throughout the 1990’s. She wrote a feature chapter in the book, The New Healers, by Barbara Barnum. She has a story-telling CD called Earth Spirituality-Spiritual Storytelling and leads spiritual retreats to Peru and the Boundary Waters in northern Minnesota. She has an alternative healing practice, the Gayatri Center for Healing, in Brookfield,Wisconsin. Lynne’s next book, Tell Me A Story, Mama-Little Berry and Mama Bear, is forthcoming coming soon as well as a book of children’s poetry.
