I also have recently gained a huge interest in providing the youth in this community representation of successful LBGTQ+ individuals.

I spent 10 years at MANNA FoodBank and then two more at LowCountry Food Bank in Charleston, SC. It is deeply engrained in me to give back and to be apart of the nonprofit world. When I was in the nonprofit field, I worked in Community Outreach, Development, and Volunteer Recruitment/Management.

I come from a very caring and accepting family but a very poor family as well. I know how much energy and work it takes to do something different and I would love an opportunity to join Blue Ridge Pride in your work in the community.

Siljoy Maurer

Holistic Perspectives P.O. Box 333, Enka, NC 2872 Phone: (828) 333-0103 | siljoy@me.com or www.HolisticPerspectives.com For many years now I have been mentoring men and women from all walks of life. It continues to be my greatest joy to accompany someone from “just being ok” into thriving! As a Mentor & Healer I partner with my clients in creating authenticity, wellness and deep contentment, in whatever area of their lives they are seeking change. The combination of giving very practical, livable tools for direct “next steps” while “holding the big picture” and then manifesting that big picture often feels like this: a new client brings me their life or life situation in a jigsaw puzzle box, they lost the lid and forgot what the picture on it looked like. I am good at knowing that picture and then guiding my clients/mentees to put all the puzzle pieces together.
