ABOUT
For as long as I can remember I’ve been fascinated with stillness, the human mind, the capacity of the heart to love, and the possibility of each individual's growth and evolution. I discovered mind expanding medicines in my late teens and early twenties which eventually led me to a path exploring spirituality, meditation, and human potential. I’ve never looked back.
Inner work can be intense (I’ve had to pick the pieces of myself up off the floor more times that I can recall), but it can also be fun. Go deep, but stay grounded and laugh often. Let’s not take ourselves too seriously at the end of the day.
These days I’m most excited about building community, working 1:1 in coaching relationships, podcasting, breathwork, and leading retreats with friends on the path.
"To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders." - Lao Tzu
“For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction.”
― CYNTHIA OCCELLI

THE PERSONAL STUFF…
I have one high school aged son and a twenty something in college, live with my husband as well as three cats and a dog named Lola, and enjoy exploring wellness through plant medicine and expanded states. Relationships and deep connection are my jam. Did I mention I love animals and like to laugh? And dance. I love to dance.
