A Life with Purpose

I was blessed to be raised by the wind, sun, and dry earth of the desert lowlands of Southern California, tucked in between vast coastal and mountainous regions on either side. Living next to a nature reserve in a city undergoing extensive suburban sprawl, I was able to find a wild sanctuary in the seasonal streams and sage covered landscape that were my backyard. This sense of place, nature, wildness, and imagination continues to feed my life-long pursuits of health, connection, creativity, human potential, and joy.

After growing up a quintessential Southern California daughter, I sought adventure and spiritual connection traveling in Hawaii, India, and Bali, as well as the length of California. I settled for some years in the rich redwoods of northern California to complete my bachelor's degree studying Intersectional Feminism, Vedic Traditions, and Art, completing my studies in 2015. I relocated to Upstate New York in 2018 as an Artist in Residence at The Flower City Art Center in Rochester, where I spent that year diving deeply into the research and embodiment of feminine archetypes, subjective female sexuality and desire, self-portraiture, and the personal metabolism of patriarchal views of the female body. My culminating body of work, "Myths of The Sacred Wound," was met with unprecedented shifts in the matrix of the art institution.

This experience led me back into my life-long love of the body and embodiment. I am currently living on Lopez Island, Washington studying to become an ISMTA Certified Clinical Somatic Facilitator. The focus of my studies includes integrated trauma resolution, cellular consciousness, the matrix of meta-physiology, and the neuroscience of change and healing. I am delighted to be grounding long held beliefs of human potential and spiritual wisdom into lived and teachable knowledge.

I continue to integrate the importance of archetypal psychology, myth, ritual, mysticism, decolonization, creativity, nature, and the body in my personal practices of being. I am committed to anchoring the sacred by reuniting the artistic with the scientific in bringing us all home to our true potential.
