You + Me


I see you.

You're a sensitive soul.

It’s likely that someone along the way told you that you are TOO sensitive. Those people had it completely wrong and still do. 

I believe that the world is not sensitive enough … yet.

In the past, you may have rolled up your sleeves and handled it on your own.

This time, though, it doesn't feel right.

This time, you want a guide to walk with you through this Gate Passage®.

You may have also tried therapy, and it didn’t work for you.

Talk therapy isn’t for everyone.

Thanks to neuroscience research, we now know that it doesn’t help much with trauma.

I get it.

I’ve been helping the most amazing people for the past 20 years. They are mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, aunts, uncles, grandmothers, grandfathers, and great-grandmothers.

They are doctors, coaches, therapists, nurses, musicians, artists, teachers, light-workers, accountants, healers, and students.

You’re here to help change the world and to shine brightly.

I’d love to help you do just that.

Meanwhile, come closer.

I come from a long line of healers.

My mom's a nurse. My great grandmother, Flora, used to wrap a towel around her head and tell fortunes. The healer line goes back far in my lineage, according to my Akashic Records.

Using the she/her pronouns, I'm a highly sensitive person, an introvert, and empath.

For the first part of my life, I felt like a human lint brush.

I picked up all kinds of feelings, body sensations, and energy from the people and environments around me. I had no idea what to do with this.

Like many empaths, I got sick.

From there, I started to learn how to manage my sensitivity and gifts.

These days, I’m a huge fan of it and use it to guide my life and my work.

My life is a spiritual journey.

It's part of everything I do. As a teenager, I began to awaken to this — mostly expressed as “fuck this shit” rebellion that as a teen I did extraordinarily well.

Since then, I’ve had teachers and experiences that reinforced what I already knew deep inside.

It’s amazing to be on the planet right now with you.

I love learning and hope to never stop, especially:

  • How your body stores, remembers, and heals from trauma.

  • How your brain codes information, creates memory networks, and makes meaning.

  • Social/reparative justice and how race shapes so much of what I’ve experienced in my life … and how to unravel that and devote my time, energy, and resources to continuing this work.

  • Shamanism and journeying, art therapy, Tarot/Oracle card reading, herbal medicine, energy medicine, aromatherapy, reading the Akashic Records, growing flowers and vegetables, making flower essences, and the role of whole foods/organic diet in feeling healthy.

My Values:

As a human collective, we’re experiencing a massive shift in how resources are shared.

This is a direct result of the pandemic, the dismantling of hundreds of years of systemic racism, and the shift from individual use of resources to community sharing of resources.

One of my values — as a person and as a business owner — is to share resources that I’m privileged to have.

I support organizations that promote healing, community, and sharing of resources — all of which are so much needed.

For 2023, part of your session fee provides ongoing monetary support for these 6 organizations.

They’re doing the work that we believe in so deeply — addressing and changing systemic racism, feeding hungry people, dismantling white supremacy, and caring for animals.

Please check them out and consider how you can share your own resources to support the mission of people, places, and organizations that matter to you.
