protector of the sacred

You are worthy of your wants.

I believe in giving voice to the wild, sacred gifts living inside you. They are waiting to be declared and lusciously lived. Your story matters and is waiting to be heard in a way that feels nourishing, supportive, and sacred to you. I am often told by women I work with that I help them feel safe, seen, at ease, and empowered. Through this work, women learn to trust themselves, to transform their apparent poisons into potions, to want what they want, and to realize that they are sacred.

There is a vast array of support living within and around us in nature, in spirit, in the dreamtime, in the miraculous. Drawing on all of this, I work with whole wisdom, meaning I include body, heart, mind, and spirit. Each one has its own medicine.

This work is truly an honor for me and I am deeply committed to walking with you in your medicine.

I am a shamanic practitioner, teacher, poet, published writer, and guide. I am currently accepting new clients but space is limited. Sovereignty Sessions are steeped in shamanic healing and are held within a spacious and sacred container of academic scholarship, as well as my training as a Contemplative Psychotherapist. As a Shamanic Practitioner, I engage with the language of soul and the multifaceted support of the spirit world, or my Helping Spirits. Many of the ways we experience suffering and challenge is due to soul illness. I bridge practical with spiritual. My own life has been radically shifted in extraordinary ways from this work. I have witnessed countless others experience game-changing transformation, healing, and empowerment. Some of the ways we might work together are listed below. These sessions are, and feel like, ceremony. You will leave our time together with a deep sense of clarity, understanding, and practical ways to experience your authentic self and the life you’re here to live, with the gifts that you, and you alone, can walk with and share.

I am a Shamanic Practitioner, trained as a Contemplative Psychotherapist. I hold 3 Master’s Degrees, two from St. John’s College (the first in Eastern Classics & Philosophy with a Sanskrit concentration; and the second in Liberal Arts). My  3rd Master’s is in Contemplative Psychotherapy & Counseling from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. During my undergrad studies, I majored in Cultural Anthropology with a specialization in Mayan Civilization and Ancient Culture and Pueblo Cultures of the American Southwest. All of my education has greatly fed and influenced my practices today.

my books

Reach Is Wholy.jpg


My first book, The Reach Is (W)holy, is a collection of poems that were inspired by and written for the sacred. Drawing from direct revelation and everyday experiences, I hope to illuminate the numinous gifts present in healing, wholeness, longing, and belonging.



The Mistress of Longing is…

An invitation to listen and trust the deep feminine that longs to be heard.
A love letter from, and for, devotion.
A prescription for a passionate and creative life.
A sacred reclamation.
A liberation of desire.
A hymn to kindness.
The voice of a modern mystic.
