Ceremony & Ritual
Hello!
​
I am so very pleased to connect here. Below I'll share a bit about my work, and if you feel compelled to share a bit about you, please drop a little note.
ABOUT ME
I hold spaces for ways of seeing and being; navigating, creating, and joyfully resting in a beautifully alive and quietly vibrant human experience.
​
What I hope to bring through my work is a safe container to explore the deeper realms of the soul and this gift of an earthbound existence. To offer a hand in helping you to access your own inner sanctuary of peace and power. To support you to strengthen and trust your innate instinctual intelligence. And to be a steady presence for you as you become more masterful at maneuvering through these rapidly shifting landscapes.
​
My family and I live between the mountains of Washington State and the ocean and jungle of Costa Rica. Between raising 3 children in very different developmental phases and upholding 3 businesses (two farm-to-table restaurants: Mana Restaurant, La Cosecha Restaurant, and Mystic Living) there is a big wild ever evolving fullness that is in constant change of shape and form.
​
Despite the fullness, I thrive on a slow nourishing rhythm, ritual and A LOT of silence. I certainly wouldn't say I have it all mastered, but I think I've found some ways to do big things while steeping in the depths and staying rooted in deep nature spiritual practice.
​
My work is in service to others finding a return to creating nurturing ecosystems for the full spectrum experience of Life to thrive and to maintain consistent access to your own unique nvaigational system of the inner realms of soul and psyche.
Ceremony & Ritual
We all have a vast inner sanctuary, which is accessed regularly keeps us aligned with our soul's purpose, our north star. Ceremony and Ritual help us create well-lit pathways to commune with the sacred as a guide to navigating through the necessary healing, growth, and expression for the highest good of all Life.
​
Engaging in ceremony and ritual communicates to the Mystery that we are awake to the whole experience of living and asserts a deep trust in the benevolent support that rests in the unseen. It's the way to offer our gratitude, deep respect, and honor for that which often cannot always be seen but can always be felt as support.
​
I share ceremony and ritual gatherings around the cycles of the moon, the passages of seasons, life transitions, universal shifts in energetic flow, and especially to get to the heart of each person's unique Soul Print. These practices are offered both in person and online.
​
I also hold a Ceremony & Ritual Facilitator Training as a group, or twice per year for a 2-3 people max in a 1:1 format.
Earth-Based Wisdom Tradition
My Shamanic Apprenticeship and practice span 20 years, weaving together journey work, heart journeying, sound vibration, and deep shadow work to heal and lighten the energy field. Shadow work is often challenging. If ignored, shadow material can weigh on our psyche and soul. Drawing shadow pieces up and out of the depths to look at, feel, and understand is not necessarily easy, but powerfully clearing.
​
This is why I often pair shadow work and shamanic practices with meditation and yoga nidra as a foundation of steadying the inner ground. I also sometimes use positive psychology frameworks to build up beautifully mapped mind supports so we're well prepared to meet challenges, move through the transformational process, and maintain deep trust in Mystery as we do real and meaningful healing work.
Nature Constellation
Nature Constellation is its own distinct lineaged and evolving body work, separate from shamanic practice yet equally powerful. It reveals the hidden dynamics within ecosystems and our relationship to the living world, offering a unique way of understanding nature and the intricate web of relationship between all beings. Through this work, we perceive and possibly restore harmony in the unseen patterns that shape our connection to Earth. Reach out if you'd like to explore how we can work together in this way. ​
​
Yoga, Meditation & Yoga Nidra
For me, entering the stillness to access the sounds of the soul is a daily, non-negotiable practice. This is a practice of revealing truths resting underneath a busy mind. We travel into what lies beneath thought, identity, and attachment and reveal our original essence. It taps us into the Source of Infinite Love and Connection.
​
In physical practice, I love to flow consciously and creatively, honoring the physical form by igniting the formless. I have a sweet spot for working hard, but doing so mindfully, with steadiness and a light heart. By integrating teachings of energetic anatomy, alignment of physical body, and attunements to nature, we work together to access personal empowerment with spiritual practices and practical tools to live fully, wholly, integrated.

Retreats & Trainings
For yoga teachers, ceremonialists, and students of the sacred arts, I offer mentorship in spiritual and energetic hygiene, the intricacies and applications for meditation, journeying, and visioning, and how to create ceremony and ritual for personal process work or holding sacred containers for your communities.​
​
I hold periodic weekend and international retreats as well as year long trainings and 1:1 mentorship for those working in a specific arena. Currently I have 1 space for 1:1 Ceremonialist Facilitator Training (these generally last 6 months, meeting every 2 weeks).
​
My teachings and held spaces are founded on 2 psychology degrees, 20-year shamanic apprenticeship and practice, ceremony and ritual, 30 years of teaching and practicing movement, yoga, yoga nidra and meditation, nature constellation work, motherhood, herbalism, many entrepreneurial and community development endeavors, and 28 years of personal and professional practice.
