When I was a little kid, I first developed an awe practice. Wrecked with anxiety that made me feel like I was leaving my body, I started looking up when I felt scared or stuck. I’d find a day sky, a night sky, a tree roof, and breathe, taking space to find refuge in the reminder that there was something way bigger than myself I was connected to.

I didn’t fall for the word awe until I hit college. In an Eastern philosophy class, we learned about a philosopher who believed spirit was in all of the material world, and that as humans, instead of planning for a heaven somewhere outside of here, we needed to remember that spirit’s beauty was here and now. On this planet. And that awe was the route to remembering this anytime, anywhere.

My years ahead led me around the globe and to yoga teacher training, three different reiki trainings, and various certification programs in guiding nature-based coaching work, mindfulness meditation, intuitive healing, and ceremony facilitation. In the last decade I’ve taught mindfulness and writing in jails from CO to PA, yoga in community spaces and shelters, coached classes for hundreds of women across the globe, and led ceremony in woods from Central Park to The Rockies. I was also lucky to craft a humanitarian ‘9 to 5’ life and am deeply grateful that all my work aligns with my core values of service, connection, and heart.

For a long time, I thought I had to be one or the other identity on this long list above. A reiki practitioner. A yoga teacher. An intuitive. A forest lover. A 9 to 5 humanitarian. I’ve recently shifted my offerings to incorporate all of these, embracing wholeness. Each of these modalities is a powerful healer, and together, they offer me a breadth of tools that meet people where they need support.

All the work I do is aimed at reminding you, and me, and everyone around us, that we are so deeply connected and so positively enough here and now.

To that universal connection,
