Mother. Mystic.
Mentor. Artist.

"Your body is an ocean, rich with hidden treasures. Open your inmost chamber and light its lamp."

— Shiva Rea

I am a deeply sensitive, highly aware being who has lived on both sides of this spiritual human experience — and what I found on the other side wasn't just healing. It was aliveness.

A Mother, Mystic, and Mentor.

I found my way here
through living it.

An excerpt from my story of figuring it all out.

I was a people-pleasing rebel with a secret life. On the outside I fit in — just enough, just barely — while something underneath was always pulling in a completely different direction. I always felt contradictory, polarising, fragmented. Like two versions of myself that couldn't find a way to coexist. My body always knew a vibe was off before my mind caught up. Something would land in my system and it was either a whole fuck yes or a whole hell no — and I followed that, even when it looked reckless from the outside. I didn't know I was trusting myself. I just knew I couldn't stay anywhere that felt wrong.

I couldn't root anywhere because everything kept feeling fake, like everyone was in on the same game and I could see straight through it. So I kept moving. Different countries, different cultures, different ways of being human — and those travels cracked something open in me every time and showed me how many other ways there were to live.

I have lived a lot of lives. High school hangovers in Vancouver. Fine dining, VIP clubs and hanging with celebrities. Men's bad behaviours. Teaching English in Thailand and Germany. Backpacking through Mexico. Ecuador with a four year old. Spring break in Texas. Rehab. And then in the middle of all of it, a divine instruction so clear I couldn't ignore it. That calling led me to yoga, to India, to the body, to the shadow, to rehab… again, to twenty years of immersion in yoga therapy, Kundalini tantra, addiction recovery, trauma therapy, depth psychology, mysticism and dream work.

Mother · Artist · Muse

Being a mother has been
its own labyrinth.

Being a mother has been its own labyrinth — its own initiation into depths I could never have predicted, its own stripping away of everything I thought I was in order to find out what was actually true.

My daughter and I have been in a chrysalis together through all of it, dying a million deaths between us, and every time we re-emerge our wings spread wider, grow stronger and become a more vibrant version of the ones before.

Then life blew wide open. A profound spiritual awakening that came on gradually and then all at once. My crown opened, the light poured in, I burned the bra and frolicked naked in nature and lived on sunshine and made magic and art and mischief. And then inevitably, the underworld asked for her turn with me. The density of the human body after the bliss. The diagnosis. The devastation.

The work of putting myself back together was really the work of letting myself be whole. Stopping the war between the parts. The mystic and the one who swears. The healer and the wild one. The devoted mother and the woman who needs to be alone in nature for days. I stopped trying to make those things make sense to anyone else and started trusting that they all belonged.

My energy is enormous and doesn't always know its own edges, and learning to contain it without killing it — to direct it rather than suppress it — has been the real work. That's why I need sanctuary. Nature. Quiet. Practice. Somewhere for the intensity to go. And that's what I support others in doing — how to cultivate, generate and direct this creative life force energy.

"I am my own muse. I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to know better."

— Frida Kahlo

I am an artist and my own muse. What I create moves through me as an expression of my soul, my emotions, and unseen realms that words cannot capture nor emulate.

I am deeply passionate about women's bodies and the feminine, the earth and her cycles, ancestral wisdom and indigenous knowing, world religion and mysticism, the Egyptian pantheon, protecting children and animals, the fight against human trafficking, and being on the water — lakes, oceans, rivers — wherever something in me goes quiet and something else wakes up. These are not separate from the work. They are the ground it grows from.

Wild Divine

Light side, dark side and the shadows that flow between — you are the medicine.

That feeling of being fragmented without knowing why. Of being too much without understanding what that means. Of sensing there is something more but having no language for what it is. That is what I have spent years learning to name — finding the symbolic meaning in it, sitting with what comes through in the body, in dreams, in the spaces between — and translating it into something people can actually use to live more freely, more fully, and more like themselves.

This work is for the people who are willing to look at what lives in the shadows — and who want to do that in a way that is creative, alive and soul stirring, not just endlessly heavy. This is where the life force comes back online. Where the fragmented pieces start working together. Where we learn how to cultivate and direct our energy — into our art, our relationships, our bodies, our purpose — and make something genuinely extraordinary from the one wild life we have.

Sri Yantra

I invite you to bring all of it here — the sexuality and the spirituality, the shadow and the light, the addiction and the awakening, the maiden, mother, mystic and muse.

Let me help you find your true Soul's expression.

Wild Divine

Tantra is a Lifestyle —
and a yes to all of it.

"That which produces bliss should be used in worship since it ravishes the heart."

— Tantraloka

What if you didn't have to choose between your spirituality and your humanity? Between your desire and your devotion? Between the wild parts of you and the sacred ones? Tantra says you don't. It is one of the oldest living philosophies on earth and its central idea is radical in its simplicity — everything about you belongs.

How the journey moves.

Sanctuary
Tenderness before everything.

We approach the body, mind and heart with tenderness. We listen. We be with. We excavate and expand little by little — growing capacity, creating safety, allowing the whole of you to arrive.

Awaken
Truth of your own aliveness.

Consciously awakening to more — more vitality, more practices, more care for yourself. The moment you stop performing life and start feeling it. This is where everything begins to shift.

Integrate
Cycles, rhythms, sanctuary.

Building new habits. Continuing to expand capacity. The lifestyle — learning to live in alignment with your own nature, weaving the practices into the fabric of your daily life until they become second nature.

Embody
Live it. Become it.

You don't just know it now. You are it. The work lives in the body, in the choices, in the way you hold yourself in a room. You become the living proof of what it means to be fully, unapologetically alive.

The work came from living it.

Words from the Work

What people say when they arrive.

These are the words people find after the work. After something shifts. After they remember what it feels like to be fully alive.
