WALK WITH ME
I am here because I believe that when human beings align to the Spirit of the Earth and Cosmos, we each awaken to our unique embodied Magic and Medicine, and step into our vision and power to birth our dreams and a brighter world into being.
My vision for this life is to reawaken to and embody the Divine Mystery that we are. It is to fully embody this experience of being human. It is to reclaim, share, and inspire the unique gifts of our souls. It is to be the portal through which the ancient ways and sacred feminine reawaken to rebirth and heal one another and the world. It is to be a vessel of alchemy to transform and transmute all that holds us back. It is to be a keeper of the sacred Darkness and rooted Light. It is to anchor in our highest truth so we may all remember to live in a state of harmony with one another and the earth for our personal and collective evolution.
I walk in devotion and service to our living Great Mother, the Earth, the reawakening of the Sacred Feminine, and the conscious evolution of humanity. It is my life's work and inspiration to guide others on their sacred journey to step into their embodied power, purpose, and sovereignty.
My life has been a living and walking devotion to exploring and responding to the call of this great mystery of existence and the longings of the soul. I was shown early in childhood the path I was born to walk as earth and nature wove herself into my body, bones, dreams, and spirit.
At the age of 15 I was awakened to my path and led to a deep remembrance of myself by the touch of the Goddess and dreamy memories of an ancient wisdom long lost that was ready to be remembered. This was the awakening that led me on my journey of embodying the memory of whom I was born to be.
I am a weaver, a witch, a priestess, and a bridge between worlds; old and new, seen and unseen. I am a carrier of the old ways of medicine and magic that are ready to be remembered. I am a daughter of the Earth. I am a carrier of the threads from lines of healers, seers, and mystics from North Africa, the Mediterranean, and Eastern Europe.
I welcome you to walk with me. May you remember and awaken to share the extraordinary beauty and magnificence that you were born to be.

MY JOURNEY
“For y whole life I have been fascinated by health, spirituality, the esoteric, and traditional medicine. From learning Egyptian hieroglyphics and rituals from ancient texts to collecting and mixing my own plants into ‘medicine’, to wandering through the forests and conversing with streams and fairies, my childhood served to show me clearly the path which I was born to walk.
As a young girl, I was awakened to my path and led to the deep remembrance of myself by the touch of the divine feminine that moves through all. After years of searching for the way to walk through life through the study and exploration of many modalities, my path became starkly clear to me when at 20 I stumbled upon the Ashtanga yoga system. This became the jet fuel that propelled me on my path of healing, empowerment, transformation, and vision. My journey has led me to the yogis of the Himalayas, the shamans of the Peruvian Andes, hidden Tantrikas, the medicine women of North America, and many experiences in between that have taught me and blessed me on the path of medicine and spiritual work.
I have had over ten years of experience with the classical Ashtanga yoga system and almost twenty years of experience and teachings of ancestral medicine traditions, modalities of mystical inquiry, depth psychology, nature and wilderness immersion, integrative and functional medicine, holistic nutrition, and methods of self-discovery, transformation, healing, and empowerment. I am also an avid traveller, explorer, author, gardener, and a guardian and student of Nature.
