Amongst the facets of who I know myself to be, I am a facilitator, ceremonialist, poet, dedicated student, menstrual educator and craniosacral practitioner.
The steadying pulse of my work arises from my innermost sense to tend to the balance of life on Earth in these otherwise teetering times.
With a natural affinity to the feminine heart, psyche and soul, I work with women and girls in the remembrance of our soft power and embodied wisdom. Most notably, I have devoted the last seven years to the field of menstruation by way of workshops, online education programs, research and self-study. Throughout this period, I have supported thousands of women and girls in their understanding and integration of menstrual awareness.
I create and guide spaces of depth, attunement and uncontrived healing.
The source of my knowing is grounded in the context and mineral content of my own life-path, and the practices, transmissions and teachings that illuminate my way.
I give great thanks to my teachers, for the blessings of their mentorship, and their emanating fields of integrity, intelligence and clear-sight, in particular Dr. Lara Owen and Moana Pearl.
I am glad that you are here, reading these words. There are a few ways that we can work together…

Altered is a journey of rooting down into and simultaneously transcending the embodied experience of menstruation.
Over 7 weeks, we explore the liminality and inherent materiality of menstruation, and the way it connects us — to each other and to the various doorways we will cross / have crossed in the arc of our lives as women: menarche, fertility, gestation and birth, menopause, death and the spaces between.
Our next program starts soon. Learn more here.

Sessions are for those seeking individual support, attuned presence and the healing of clear reflection.
Within this intimate container, you are supported to self-locate. Together, we explore what is asking to be witnessed, held and perhaps transformed through the potency of an engaged and compassionate presence.

Over my years spent working in the field of menstruation, I have taught numerous workshops on menstrual cycle awareness, yoga for conscious menstruation, cycle awareness in the paradigm shift and menstrual education for mothers and daughters, to name a few.
The power and depth engendered by gathering together in shared intention cannot be emulated by any other experience. When our external realities do not acknowledge our cyclical experiences, it is expansive - liberating - affirming to be in spaces that do.
I teach workshops privately and as a guest facilitator on retreats and at festivals. If you are interested in hosting or attending a workshop, please reach out here.
