On The Fringes of Truth
Hello Beautiful Soul, Let’s create magic together.
May your highest self meet with mine...
I’m here to help empower you to get to know your wild, untamed, magical, creative self; Through creating art, energy work such as Reiki, tarot cards, crystal grids, and personalized energy infused artwork and body products that help you align to your highest purpose. I will also be releasing a book and videos to help guide you on some of my favorite meditations, art-making challenges, and be sharing some “Mom-musings” with you. I’d love to be your personal empowerment and creative expression coach wherever you are at in your journey.
Please check back often to see my latest adventure and reach out if any of this speaks to your soul.
Much Love,
Becky Poliquin
AKA The Hoppy Hippy
Becky Poliquin
Artist/Educator/Creative/Energy Worker
Hi, I’m Becky. I know deep down in my soul that I have come to this planet to help others discover their own unique passions, connect with our innate creativity, and live harmoniously with the earth. I am interested in empowering people to take the time they deserve, slow down, look within and reignite their own passions for creative endeavors. Especially other moms, creatives, and other kindred beings.
In my everyday roles as an educator, mother, and wife I go by Becky Poliquin. Much of my visual artwork is signed as “Becky Louison”, my maiden name. I also refer to myself as “The Hoppy Hippy” which is a label I created for the alchemist path that I developed in my journey and my art-making social media accounts.
Since 2008, I have been on a spiritual and artistic quest that has rapidly accelerated this year. My art connects me to the earth and helps me to process the world around me. I enjoy mixing media to create pieces with stories, rooted in a sense of place and deeper understandings. My journals are filled with musings, sketches, poetry, and observations of the natural world. Recently, I have made advances on my book that will combine my writings and artwork amassed over the years.
I received my Reiki II certification and am working on a coaching program utilizing art, reiki, alchemy, crystal grids, and card readings. I am awakening to my highest self and learning about ways to apply my skills, amplify my magic and be of service to others. I am exploring the world of creative expression and empowerment coaching as a way to connect with others.
Energetic Offerings
Distance Reiki
Let me send you high vibrational energy while you relax and unwind in the comfort of your own home. During some of these sessions I have had guardian angels or spirit guides show up to add another layer of magic.
Artists-Let me connect with you while you are in your studio or wherever you access your creative genius. This energy unblocks stuck energy, helps dissolve imposter syndrom, and access your creative superpowers.
Tarot and Oracle Card Readings;
With hand transcribed meanings.
Reiki Infused Art
Need to have tangible evidence of the magic we’re creating together? For a small fee I’ll send you a personalized piece of artwork which I infuse with the same energy used during your Reiki session.
Let’s connect and make some magic together. I’d love to help clear up any blockages to help you access your highest and most creative self.
Testimonials
“I could feel the connection in my head specifically, it felt heavy but in a light way (if that makes sense) a lot of what you wrote down resonated with what I was focusing on and trying to find answers for. You pulled some of my favorite crystals. Thank you for doing this, it was such a good experience!” -Angelica
“I don’t know what just happened but I felt moved to do some trauma release exercises and had all these thoughts coming in; Now I’m content but restless... “
-Megan (after initial reiki exchange prior to recieving notes.)
“Becky, this was so fun to look through and wildly on point! BTW just looked up overactive crown Chakra and got SLAPPED...Painfully accurate”
-Megan (after recieving notes, photos of her personalized crystal grid and cards.)
“I Love this! I’d love to learn more about it all! That was spot on btw. Thank you so much!
-Emma

What creative endeavors am I currently working on?
I’ve been having some much needed “cave time” to enjoy my family this summer, to unplug and reconnect with nature, my loved ones, and myself. Feeling very grateful and inspired. I’m currently working on my first book which is a collection of my ramblings, artwork, meditations, art-based challenges, affirmations, and will likely lead to my own tarot deck shortly after its release. This has been many years, false starts, and tears in the making but she’s going to get here soon; Hoping you will “Journey to the Fringes of Truth”with me... TIA for all of you helping me to move forward and stay motivated to be on my highest path forward. Blessing and Much Love to you.
I am developing my skills and knowledge of arts therapy based life and spiritual coaching.
In addition to working on hatching an idea about my future in education.

Previous Works
This piece explores my feelings and concerns as a public educator in America right now. I hope to depict a sense of sadness and worry but also a hope for the future in a freeing of the collective human consciousness. I combined collaged images with acrylic paint to create this piece which was recently on display at Buoy Art Gallery in Kittery, Maine.
Thank you for your loving energy and support. May it amplify and return to you tenfold.
*This piece is available for sale or exhibition.
