The Sacred and the Soul live in the light, and also in the dark. When we honor and learn how to navigate the darkness, we rediscover deep Wisdoms.
I help people meet, acknowledge the presence of, and integrate the parts of themselves that have fallen into shadow. In essence, I am a translator and guide for underworld messages and journeys. We do this healing for the purpose of living more authentic, creative, and soul-filled lives.
You might think of this as soul retrieval.
Or, as a reclamation of the Wild Woman / Man / Being Archetype.
My speciality is working with those who desire healing and to expand, embody and express themselves more fully. Most of the people I work with desire deeper intimacy and truth in their partnership, and/or they crave a deeper sense of connection to themselves, their intuition, Spirit, or their creative expression. Many are at what I would call at a threshold. Or an initiation. They know that who they are - or the relationship that they have been in - is not a “big enough container” for who they are becoming. I support them in integrating the deeper, repressed, and sometimes wounded aspects of themselves as a way to cross the threshold and step into their next phase of being.
I am not really going to help you fix or change anything. My medicine supports you in becoming more mindful. More aware. More present. More integrated and whole.
I want to help you remember who you truly are.
Before you got scared, hurt, or busy. Before you forgot.
Before shame grabbed ahold of you.
This work is about soul retrieval and reclaiming your Wild Essence.

“Too much safety makes one feel unsafe. It it doesn’t, perhaps it should.”
- David Cooper
We unconsciously create a world of suffering through obsessive avoiding or clinging because we are afraid of what is in the shadows of our past, our shame, our bodies, etc.
This avoidance and clinging can manifest in many ways: trauma responses, eating disorders, loss of creativity, feeling down or depressed, feeling restless or anxious, confusion, lack of sense of self or connection with one’s intuition or body, etc.
Safety is not about eliminating what we fear, but learning to lovingly and creatively interact with our shadows.
