My Story
There is no real knowing when the story begins. For simplicity purposes, I’ll start here.
My inspiration.
Lessons from Spirit Grandmother.
~The unadulterated minds, are the minds of our future. The ones that can imagine a world which is different, from how we see it now. The eyes of the closed will learn how to feel, while the minds of the open will know without thought. In shape of thought, many things beyond this exists in the unspoken. The power is not in the words, but in the silence of now.
I have felt deeply connected to something more than myself, for as long as I can remember. No means of religion, or search of definition can touch it. From within myself, there is a knowing, which has profoundly influenced the direction of my life and continues to spark the passion inside. This piece of me, fills my days with glorious wonder while another piece of me questions the truth of my experience, and continues to push me into a search for answers. My love for introspection is what dives me into studying the nature of emotional intelligence, and has brought me to the love of Tao and Chinese Medicine. There’s a great deal of mystery within the layers of our human form, and the further I dive in search for understanding, the more in depth my purpose grows. Without a doubt, I was born for this!
I understand, within my own mind, the realms of infinity and the healing nature of its continuum. The philosophy of Carl Jung and Alan Watts speak the language so eloquently to the art of my being, as I sense the space between the luminous threads that animate this life into existence. Within the core of my being, I have the intellectual desire to explore a scholars understandings of energy, in how it speaks-moves & manifests- in the body, and projects its way out.
Energy, like magic is really allusive and offers a profound sense of healing when given the chance to be known. There’s a great sense of peace hiding in the unspoken, as it obtains a world of knowledge. I enjoy questions like- Why are we, who we say we are? And, how does this all relate outwardly? In the pure sense of curiosity- I have many side passions for exploring the realities of our world, and find the reflective nature of humanity incredibly fascinating. On the flip side of energy work, I relish in the expansiveness of human biology and crave to understand the conditions which come to life within the mind and body. The subjects of matter, energy, and time feed my brain mouth so good. What would I be if I was awareness? (Quantum Somatics. For more on all this- please check back in.)
Professionally I am committed to mastering the art of listening with an open awareness, while developing a broad spectrum of wholistic practices for sustained health and spiritual wellbeing. My life, is my work and I am in love with the journey.
In relevance to my personal story, I believe there is a reason I have been put on the path of healing. The subject of experience is how I relate, outside this strange and objective world. Knowledge is very important, and comes from somewhere born on the inside. There’s no greater multitude than me, and I carry the tools which are reminding. These are also the tools I have been using to heal- which ultimately is me- healing myself, along the way.
Beautiful my life has really been, though it doesn’t and wouldn’t exist without pain. Tragedy is the beginning, and the framework to change- while time offers great opportunity. The experience of spiritual transformation, and being called- goes beyond the means of believing and fuels the fire within me.
With each new day, I find contentment through the process of meditating, writing, dancing, studying, and feeling my way through the swells of being human. I feel all the grief and pain, while simultaneously experiencing praise and bliss. In connection to all I’ve been given is becoming, and I have such a passion for the beauty which grows. Forevermore, I will say I am an artist, dancing her truth in all the wyldness of this precious blooming life. In and out of folds, there is light-there is death and I bow to the practice of discovery while bridging the gaps.
Many Blessings, and thank you for reading. My hope is I can somehow offer support for the inevitable. Or, create a means for change- in how we relate~

Current Sensations:
Spring has just sprung, and the equinox of balance has me feeling all spruced up. There within my bones, I have also felt a deep resonance with something within the earth, as if the pulse of its core resonated with my own. Inside my knowing, there was a message ~we the people are no longer in charge. It’s been two years and two weeks to the day, of ignite. 4/1/2025, is today.
Today, I sense a little wobble. Even my kitty, is feeling a little frisky. Also, I caught him twice almost falling off the table.
In this wobble, there has to be a shift. A level up. Or, a level down. Like a DNA strand, even vibration has two sounds- the resonance hit its mark two days ago- and like a clap, there is silence.
Today in the wobble, find your wave and ride it hard. Shoot your way through the collapsing tunnel, as if you were on your way to the moon. Only, you are here- in the garden, and the moon is in your heart.
Move slow and intentionally today. Reduce your consumption of intake. Try to time a breath or two, with the wind.
