Our authors

Dr Laura Basha - author, artist, certified trainer, and organizational psychologist - is the founder and creator of WhiteBird Rising, a resource and guide for the transformational lifestyle-a lifestyle of ongoing awakening.
She received her BFA from Beloit College, Beloit, WI. Growing up outside of Boston, MA, she has lived in northern California for the last forty years. In the process of raising her two children, her creative energies were expressed through living and working as a single mom, studying for the ministry, becoming a senior color artist for an international color consulting firm, and finally completing a master's program in counseling psychology followed by a PhD in both clinical and organizational psychology.
All of these elements began to synthesize in the last decade, when, after creating a successful consulting practice with leaders from global Fortune 1,000 companies, she is returning to her artistic roots as a published author, as well as an accomplished fine artist.
Her paintings and artwork are in private collections across the United States and in Australia. Her book, The Inward Outlook, is finding its way through readership around the world.

The essence of all of her creative work integrates her love of beauty, harmony, and spiritual understanding, visually expressed with archetypal and symbolic imagery.
