About

I am a lover and practitioner of shamanism, herbalism, and sacred ceremony.

I have a BA in Studio Art and an incredible love to create. Though my medium has changed over the years, my passion for bringing beauty into the world has never diminished. Within my shamanic practice, it is the gorgeous prayer ceremonies that light me up so fully. Through herbalism, it is the alchemy of plants turned body-mind-soul medicine that thrills me.

I have trained extensively through The Four Winds SocietyJose Luis Herrera, The Boston School of Herbal Studies and Puma Fredy Quispe Singona. I have also been blessed enough to receive rites of passage and training from multiple medicine lineages—and from the land itself—in the high Andes of Peru. Shamanism and herbalism merge seamlessly as a deeply empowering path and I am incredibly grateful to live as a modern day medicine woman.

I am the author of Living Sacred Ceremony: Earth Inspired Practices for Transforming + Celebrating. This book is filled with unique and beautiful practices that empower you to heal and transform your own life. You can grab the hardcopy on Amazon or download the eBook. 

In 2018, I accepted a position at The Shift Network, an online transformational education company. It has a been a dream come true to work as a Program Manager + Host with the world’s most amazing teachers of shamanism, herbalism, and beyond. I never thought having a job could be this good! I encourage you to take a journey with me over there one day!

Though I am a wanderer at heart, I am currently living and loving in New England with my web designer husband where we enjoy exploring nature, tasting decadent sips + bites, sitting in ceremony, laughing like crazy, and dreaming up our next adventure.
