I started my inner growth/spirituality/awareness/mindfulness (whatever you want to call it) journey in 2012 after reading a prominent spirituality book and truly feeling that mind-stopping moment of full presence. I was hooked. I dove into all things New Age, only to discover that so much of the culture and guidance around self-help and spirituality was just Christianity repackaged for….you guessed it - profit.

I was tired of being exploited. Not just by the current system I was in, but I was also tired of exploiting myself. I was tired of my mind coming up with every reason why I wasn’t good enough and had to do better. I was tired of the self-blame, judgment, and shame that kept me working toward validation and acceptance. I was tired of ignoring my body’s signals so that I could continue working, hustling and proving my worth. Living a slower, more relaxed, fulfilling, creative life was what I dreamed of.

Now I’m not saying I “fixed” all of those things - I believe unlearning hustle culture is a forever lesson. It keeps repeating in layers and I will continue the same cycles in many ways, however, there are many micro cycles that I automatically reverted to that made that affirmed that critical voice rather than questioned it.

Through this work, I found that I had much more power and choice than I thought. I could actually rewire my critical mental habits of judgment and renovate my actions to match what I actually wanted to be true for my life. It was true that my external circumstances were at the whim of universal cause and effect, but my relationship to my own resilience, confidence, trust, and healing was my choice.

I’ve worked on developing this faith in myself during many major challenges including deconstructing religion, social anxiety and ADHD, moving to a new city where I knew nobody, leaving corporate and trying to run my own business, postpartum depression and anxiety and so much more. One of the systems that I have found for tracking and exploring this work is astrology and birth charts and my happiest moment are when someone asks me to look at theirs :)

The past 12 years I have explored world religions and philosophies, spiritual practices like astrology & tarot, Eastern philosophies on energy and chakras, psychology, social behavior, creativity and much more - but it is only through relational action and embodiment of my beliefs that I find true change. This is what I am here to guide people to do with the experience I have gathered.

I am forever working on unlearning and deconstructing, which includes removing self-worth from hierarchies, black and white thinking, capitalism & finances, appearances, judgment and shame, etc. If you’re working on these too, I SEE you.

I live in Raleigh, North Carolina with my husband, daughter, two dogs and cat.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Intel with a background in Finance, but I left my life-sucking corporate career in 2018 to follow what makes my heart happy; helping people develop skills and strategies to direct their focus on living deeply connected lives.

I have a great appreciation for the arts and creatives. My senses are tickled by poetry, food, painting, music….and I will always cry when greeted with a beautiful view of nature. On an average day, you can find me sippin’ on some tea, dancing around my kitchen while cooking, gathering herbs from the garden or exploring a local park with my family.

I’m also always thinking about my next delicious meal.
