Maren Hoflund is a certified massage therapist and holistic health practitioner (CMT HHP). She has an associates degree in Child Development and previously worked as a Montessori preschool teacher. She is an NAMC certified Montessori teacher and has recently earned her Master Reiki certification.
Her history in writing begins in childhood, where she began journaling and was an avid reader. As she grew older, she wrote for the school yearbook and won first place at the Del Mar Fair in 2014, and wrote for an online women's magazine in high school. In 2020, she self published her first book, a collection of poetry titled "Shallows of My Trenches." Today, she hosts the podcast Embodying Holistic Health and explores her multifaceted creativity.
Maren's photography and film experience began in childhood as well, watching her grandmother take photos and document her and her family's lives up until her passing. Her Nana won local photography awards and inspired Maren to always chase her dreams, because they are able to be attained. As a teenager, she received her Canon AE-1 as a birthday gift, and has been exploring film and modeling as a form of expression since.
In the future she plans to express herself and her creativity in many ways, from music and style to ceramics and cooking. Oath of a Pearl is a place for these expressions that become public to live.
During the time that she is not working, studying, or creating, she is traveling, reading, spending time with her friends and family, and taking care of her and her partner's snake Isla.
