Chandrima LLC

Chandrima was created as a forum for healing art.  It is challenging to definitively create connections between healing disease and creativity but a fresh look at an old situation can always bring about inspiration to change.  While studying as a resident in Internal Medicine at Mayo Clinic, the founder, Dr. Elisabeth McKinney began to make jewelry.  She started to experience a deep sense of relaxation and pure joy when going to gem and mineral shows and slowly began collecting gems and beads.  As time progressed and the bead collection grew, a gradual evolution in her designs started to emerge.  Slowly, she began to experience her own relationship with certain stones and shapes.  

As family and friends began to see the necklaces, they asked if she ever planned to sell them.  Eventually after residency was complete, she began on her journey to work in holistic medicine and began a training process after residency that was something akin to a fellowship in energy medicine.  In this journey she began to meet an amazing array of healers and artists who had all types of creative outlets.  She began to see that many of these artists and healers were not interested in putting time or resources into developing a web store and thus Chandrima was born.

Chandrima translates from Sanscrit as Moonlight.  So as the moon reflects the sun's brilliance, so we can enjoy the reflections and musing s of artists and healers. The majority of the money generated within this website will be dedicated to further all aspects of healing that truly allow us to integrate our full capacity of right and left brain.
