About Debra Emerson
Debra Emerson holds a Masters degree in Education and English and has taught school for over three decades. A lover of nature, people, life, and making the world a better place, her work addresses what is authentic, relevant, and real for us as human beings living both on planet earth and in a global society.
Debra also has a four-year Master Energy Healing Certificate from the Healix Institute and has taught part-time for over twenty years in the Hudson Valley, New York. Her coaching and classes encompass the connection between mind/emotions, body, environment, and spirit and employ a variety of modalities that she has used to help both herself and others. It is her great honor to serve in this way. This experience coupled with her years as a school teacher inspires and informs her writing.
Why Acorn Books? One day, she was writing something that all of a sudden felt too big for her and that she wasn’t up to it. She was in the middle of a writer’s block when she realized: Don’t try to write. Be like the acorn. It doesn’t try to be an oak tree. Just relax and let life grow through you. And so the acorn has become a symbol of simply being, of strength, and of peace.
