About Me
Service is my compass, and I move through the world with a deep passion for love, healing, and liberation.

When asked what I wanted to be when I grow up, by the age of 9 I was already saying a therapist. I have been blessed with the knowing of what I want to be since I was a child. And really at my core the calling has always been to be of service to the light of others. To find the places of shadows with them, and love them back to the light.
I have a Masters in Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology. I am also a certified Indigenous Focusing-Oriented Therapy practitioner and certified Yoga teacher. My studies have led me to natural medicines and somatic healing modalities. My offerings are an integration of all I have learned and, because it lives in my body, from the curanderas and witches in my ancestral lineage.
​
​Life has gifted me with many opportunities of death and rebirth, journies to the underworld and back, deep healing initiations. I have been blessed to always, no matter how dark, walk with love. As a Human Design profile 3/5, Manifesting Generator, with the Right Angle Cross of the Vessel of Love, my purpose is to be the Embodiment of Love and teach others the lessons from the mistakes that I have made.​​​

Throughout my journey I have listened to this calling from the depths of my gut, gathering my intuitions, gifts, and experiences. I have called it many things before— healer, transformational coach, liberation witch, light being, poet, sacred space holder... and now a shepherd to the shore of liberation.
​
I have traveled the wounded healers' journey and I stand to offer all that I have learned.
Who I Work With
I am passionate about supporting the big feelers of the world—the highly sensitive, spiritual, tender warriors who are healing the intergenerational trauma in their families.

We're a good fit if you are looking to go deeper in your journey with radical compassion and gentle curiosity. ​​
Healing Orientation
My only agenda is connection
As a Buddhist, I believe everyone is whole and good at their core. My practice is to guide you back to yourself, to your body, and to your inherent wisdom.
I am fat, queer, and neurodivergent positive. I am trained in trauma recovery. I go at the pace you need to go-always making sure we have consent from all your parts.
Studies show that the relationship between practitioner and client is the biggest predictor of success for the client. I am connection based, as in my priority is to always be in connection with my clients.
Everyone's healing journey is their personal puzzle. There isn't one formula or one quick fix, as much as we would like there to be. With the tools and expertise I hold, I guide you to discovering your personal healing puzzle pieces,

Decolonizing Identity
I identify as a Person of Complexity. My identities don't fit into boxes.
I come from a diverse lineage of mixed-race ancestors.
I have found freedom in embracing the diversity in me. I don't choose to define myself by names assigned by the colonizers. Who I am is ever changing and evolving— a comglomerate of cells, DNA, body memory, instinct, desires and motivations. I am the 38 trillions of colonies of bacteria that live in my body alone. I am star dust that burst millenia ago. I am matter. I am dreams and spirits and vibrations. I am the community of people that love me. I am consciousness. I am of the earth and water. Belonging to being alive, to nature, to this sovereign animal body, to my spirit team and the teachers that guide me.
My Teachers
I would not be who I am without the wisdom and genorisity of my teachers.
“A teacher cannot give you the truth. The truth is already in you. You only need to open yourself –body, mind and heart-so that his or her teachings will penetrate your own seeds of understanding and enlightenment. If you let the words enter you, the soil and the seeds will do the rest of the work.”
