I am grateful to be on this planet and engaged in the great journey of remembering and waking up! 

Using all the senses through the practices of meditation, yoga nidra, pranayama, asana, prayer, altar making, chanting & sound and journeying, I endeavor to facilitate a safe space where individuals can move inward to remember their own Source of healing, creativity and imagination within.

I have been studying and practicing asana (yoga postures), meditation, pranayama (breath work) and devotional practices (altar making, chanting, singing & ritual) since 2000 and have had the honor of teaching others since 2007. Classes, retreats or sacred sessions with me encourage self-exploration and cultivation of body, breath, emotional and thinking-mind awareness as well as connection with self and Source. 

Ever curious about altered states of consciousness, my spiritual journey led me to work with plant and earth medicines in 2015. I draw from my experiences with plant and animal allies and use the tools of deep listening, honest reflection, loving witness, yoga, music, reiki, prayer and sound to create a safe and grounded space for individuals to prepare for and integrate from their own experiences of altered states of consciousness. 

Working through my own fears and resistance around death, I have spent over a decade leaning into this most profound mystery of life: death! I am grateful to be a member of the Threshold Choir where we sing at the bedside of those who are transitioning from this earthly realm. 

In recent years, I have been guided to deepen my connection with my Irish and Scottish lineages. I completed my Bardic grade and am currently an Ovate initiate in the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. 

I am also a writer, editor and songbird; singing, writing and playing bhajans (devotional songs from around the world). You may also spot me cooking in the kitchen or getting my hands dirty in the garden!

Above all, I walk with the Goddess! I am truly privileged to be a flame keeper for Brigid and I walk hand in hand with The Goddess and many of her aspects such as Brigid, Saraswati, Durga, Kali, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalen and others. Her love and devotion come through my voice when I sing, Her nourishment flows through the food I cook, and Her guidance is with me when I hold presence for others. I am forever grateful for Her presence in my life!
