ABOUT
The Wisdom of the Wise Woman Lives On in Us
Long before modern timekeeping, women read the sky, tended the hearth, and knew the healing held in plants, stones, and stillness. They were the midwives, herbalists, and keepers of seasonal ritual, and that knowing has not left us. It is waiting to be remembered.
A Life Woven
For thirteen years, I wove teaching, ceremony, and spiritual practice into daily life on a farm in the Columbia Gorge, raising three daughters in that integrated world.
We hosted indigenous healers, grew medicinal herbs, tended animals, and practiced Reiki as a natural part of each day.
Those years formed a reverent relationship with the elements, learning to bend in the winds of change, quite literally, it was the home of the East Wind after all. It was in that dance that I came to recognize the sacred in the human experience, and the immense magic within the everyday mundane.
My Path
For more than 25 years, I have offered Reiki and spirit-led journeywork, teaching both adults and children. As my practice deepened, I began to appreciate my own childhood being steeped in reverence for God, the phenomenal spirituality of nature, and the immeasurable rewards of living in service.
That foundation deepened through years of study with indigenous medicine women, Reiki Masters, and understanding the Wise Woman traditions of my ancestors. In my practice I aim to honor these lineages, my teachers, and the guidance of my spirit helpers. My role is to make space for your own knowing to emerge and guide you from within through these tools and practices.
Alongside this path, I've spent more than 15 years helping founders turn vision into working businesses. I co-founded Alchemy Code Lab, a tech education company, and have guided operations and people strategy for teams at every stage and across many industries. The two worlds have never felt separate to me. Good systems, like good ritual, create the container that lets something living grow.
Training and Lineage
-
Ancestral Wise Woman medicine and earth-centered spiritual paths. At 16, a Celtic healer recognized my gift as a Seer, introduced me to "the Sight," and mentored me in the Old Ways for three years.
-
Core shamanism with indigenous medicine women teachers beginning in my early twenties, followed by formal training with Jan Engels-Smith, founder of Lightsong School of Shamanic Studies (2000 to 2019).
-
Trained under internationally renowned Reiki Master Colleen Benelli (2001 to present).
Honoring Lineage
Every tradition we learn from has been carried by many hands, so naming our teachers and sources is an act of reverence and respect. Practices that belong to a specific culture or lineage are best learned from those who keep them, which is why I do not claim any Indigenous tradition as my own. My work is animist at its root: I relate to the land, the elements, and the unseen as alive and in relationship with us. It is shaped by cross-cultural journeying methods learned through my training and by the seers and wise women among my ancestors.
In the day to day, much of what heals us arrives another way: through intuition, the body, and the guides and helpers who speak to each of us directly. That inner knowing is yours to trust and build upon, just as our grandmothers and kin did before us. I walk beside you as a sister, supporting you as you discover the magic already living within you.
My Intention
My intention is simple:
to offer a place where you can rest, reclaim what is yours, and return to yourself. Whether you come for a session, a circle, a season of learning, or a strategy conversation, you are welcome exactly as you are.
Step through the door that feels like home.
