Tiffani Stevens

Life has been a twisted spiral coaster for me, from radio broadcasting to music production now bar instructor.  You name it, I've probably done it (explains the name Joat - Jack of all trades).  In all of that, finding myself and becoming one with the acceptance of enjoying who I am, I must say I'm a motivator, a thinker, an innovator, a listener, and to shorten the list, many times misunderstood.  Growing up I always considered myself to be different, you know, out of the box.  I spoke a language that many of my friends couldn't even understand because I was so open to possibilities, wisdom, and growth.  I'm not much of a talker, but I will say I'm worth the time to get to know, but not everyone is ready for this experience.  I wasn't always ready for my experience, but I am now.  With that said, please check out my future.  Its been a long process, but as a puzzle, its coming together piece by piece.  You can check out some of my ventures on facebook at www.facebook.com/artsextherapy or www.artsextherapy.blogspot.com. Tah Tah!
