Join me, a fellow human and spiritual seeker traversing through the many layers of consciousness. Meet me by the light of the moon to share in illuminating conversations on healing, spirituality, vulnerability, astrology, human design, energy medicine, psychology, psychosomatic healing, self healing, trauma, inner child and shadow work, eating disorder and addiction recovery, and all things infused with a little poetry, curiosity, introspective, contraction and expansion, and all things mind, body, heart and soul nourishing…and maybe a little woo-woo and witchy just because;)

New moon in Libra energy 9/25 and the Libra season. We are entering into a new lunar cycle in our relationships but our relationship with self always is where our focus can be.

Bring more love there.
