I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. I love the wild beauty of the Pacific coast, the redwoods and cypress, the ocean and coastal air. I have also appreciated the pioneer spirit permeating the thought culture of the evolutionary West. 

​

I spent so much time in my youth in San Francisco as part of a professional choral organization. It became my first city-love and remains deep in my heart. The rigor of the organization trained me well in professionalism and the arts of advanced collaboration. It also helped me re-member (bring deep into the wisdom of my body) the unique and profound alchemy of music and what making music together can bring us.

​

In college, I studied in Italy and fell in love with art and architecture. I got my degree in Art History knowing full well I wouldn't work with it in my career but also knowing that every human having greater capacities in understanding and appreciating fine art contributes to a greater society.

​

For most of my working life I have been in the health and wellness sector. There is something deep within me always studying, learning, applying, and helping others. I have worked as a personal trainer, life coach, spiritual intuitive, medium, teacher, trainer, and more. 

​

My greatest job so far - the one that has influenced me, grown me, shaped me, and challenged me the most by far - has been motherhood. Mothering other humans is one of the most intense rites of passage I have ever experienced, in this lifetime, solar system, and beyond. The presence, centeredness, flexibility, selflessness, care, steadiness, perseverance, death of ego, willingness to grow, and deep initiation into what Love really is, that good parenting demands has been my most arduous teacher to date.

​

I have spent the last almost two decades growing into the best parent, student, teacher, lover, healer, infinite spirit being currently embodied as a human I can be.

​

There has been a lot of healing work to do. 

​

Some of the unhealthy family patterns I grew up with were dishonesty, repressed and then explosive anger, blame, judgment, intense criticism, severe aloneness, lack of nurture, betrayal, fakeness: "everything is fine" when everything is definitely not fine, repressed and then unhealthily expressed sexuality, addiction, and me as the empath feeling everyone's everything, not knowing what to do about any of it, choosing invisibility as a survival mechanism and then exploding into angry rebellion in my late teens and early 20s.

​

My early 30s found me doing a lot of deep healing work, personal recovery, and intense relationship discovery. All of this has helped me become a much deeper, fuller, and more compassionate version of myself that has a powerful connection to fierce and lasting Love.

​

The last eight years found me opening and running a well-known and thriving wellness center with my mom. Over these years I have learned what it takes to create and sustain a healthful organism, including big picture vision, careful attention to details, loving relationships, honesty, thoughtful and well-working structures, solid implementation, adaptability, healthy interconnectedness and greater spirit, beautiful facilities, and more.

 

I've also received the benefit of regularly participating in and/or teaching almost every well-known healing modality currently known to humans, and have healed and grown so much from this steady practice. I have become quite intimate with the difficulties modern humans are currently experiencing, such as chronic stress, anxiety, depression, anger, isolation, trauma, addiction, relationship difficulties (including with self), pain, fear, and more, and have lived my adult life "doing the work" and helping as many others do the work as possible.

​​

One of my passion-projects has been to study and visit intentional communities around the world. Living together in community has always fascinated me and I've had a deepest-level driver inside me propelling me towards intentional living and purposeful togetherness my entire life. 

​

I have found that living well within my authentic, healthful center and learning the arts of loving, healthful relationships have been the two central learnings and practices of this life and I believe it to be true for all of us. Knowing self and living beautifully with others is what informs everything else.

​

I came to this planet at this time to help her rise, to help humans rise, and to help co-create heaven on Earth with everyone who also came here to do so. It is an exciting and important time to be here and each of us plays a significant part in the up-leveling process.

​

If my vision and mission resonate with you, please join me in the visioning, gathering, and co-creating process in whatever ways make sense for you.

​

Blessings to you on this journey 🙏
