Welcome

However you arrived, I’m grateful you found your way here.

People often arrive when something has shifted and the old way of living no longer holds.

It may be grief, death, or a life transition that has brought you to the edge, or a quiet opening that is asking you to know yourself more deeply. It may be a longing for meaning, a sense that you have lost touch with yourself, or a call toward ancestral healing and repair. It may be spiritual emergence, a budding sensitivity to the unseen, or spirit activity in your home or field that you do not yet know how to meet. Whatever brings you here, there is often a quiet part of you that knows something deeper is asking for your attention.

This work is shaped by lived experience and years of practice, including sitting at bedsides, supporting spiritual emergence, and tending the kinds of experiences that do not fit neatly into language.

Together, we create a grounded space where tenderness and truth can both be here. We work gently and with precision. This is a place for honesty and becoming more whole, for tending what is raw, unspoken, or exiled, and for meeting shadow and inherited pain with care, curiosity, and compassion.

This work is also about coming back into relationship with the primordial wisdom of the body. And it is a remembering that your life is held in relationship, not only with other people, but with ancestors, land, and the more than human world. Through ritual, presence, and attunement, we turn toward what is asking for your attention. We release and metabolize what no longer belongs so more room can open for clarity, wholeness, and the gifts you already carry.

Creative expression is one of the most direct ways I know to listen beneath the thinking mind, especially when words do not reach far enough. Between my earlier years as a public artist and the creative practices I now offer with clients, I have come to trust how creativity can soften what has hardened and give form to what has been unspoken. Through collage, painting, movement, and symbolic imagery, we listen with the hands and the body. Color, shape, and form carry meaning, and the practice is less about what you make than what emerges as you make it.

If it helps to know more, here is a little about how I came to this work.

I come to this work shaped by devotion and the sacred ordinary. I live as an animist and a ritualist, taught again and again by land, by seasons, and by the quiet ways the unseen speaks. I am also a mother walking alongside a teen who keeps teaching me how to soften, reflect, and listen. Much of my life is simple and tangible. I tend a garden, make art, and care for the place I call home. My queerness emerged later in life as I learned to inhabit myself more fully, deepening my commitment to authenticity, cultural healing, and inner freedom. I have an insatiable curiosity, and I remain a student of this precious life, continually learning with the people I serve.

Death has been a primary initiation in my life. I lost my mother at 18, my husband at 28, and my father at 32. These losses widened me, softened me, and shaped how I accompany others. They taught me how to sit with what cannot be fixed, how to stay close to what is tender and true, and how to trust the kind of healing that unfolds through humility, surrender, and the arc of time. This is part of what informs my stewardship of this work.

My work is in service to the living, the dying, and the dead, shaped by reverence for death and relationship with the unseen.

If you have felt lost, undone, or far from yourself, I want you to know I trust in your innate wholeness. We will work together to support you in remembering the wisdom already inside you, the medicine you carry, waiting quietly for your arrival. Something you can return to again and again.
