I am a spiritual care provider and mystic.

About My Work

My work is rooted in more than two decades of listening, to bodies, to stories, to the sacred, and to the subtle ways people lose and find themselves again.

My professional path began over 20 years ago with Reiki and tarot, followed by a Master’s degree in Chinese Medicine and licensure in acupuncture. This early work trained me to listen carefully: to the body’s wisdom, to intuition, and to what often goes unspoken.

Over time, my focus expanded toward helping people navigate the complex landscapes of love, dating, sacred sexuality, and relationship in its many forms, relationship to self, to others, to the divine, and to the paranormal. Much of my work centers on guiding people back to themselves and to their own intuitive knowing, especially during seasons of transition, confusion, or transformation.

Alongside this experiential foundation, I have completed two additional Master’s degrees in Divinity and in Arts & Theology, and I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Ministry. I am a lifelong learner, deeply informed by the wisdom of spiritual traditions past and present, while remaining committed to forms of care that are spacious, non-dogmatic, and liberative. I attend seminary as a spiritual independent and understand my work as part of a broader calling to be an agent of change in the world.

A Simple Intention

All of the answers you seek already live within you. My work is about helping you reconnect with that inner knowing, especially the parts of yourself that may have been judged, hidden, or named as unacceptable.

I offer spiritual care with the intention of easing suffering by creating space for honesty, compassion, and self-trust. This work isn’t about fixing or elevating anyone, it’s about remembering what has always been present and learning how to live from that place with greater freedom and integrity.

I approach this work with love and deep respect for each person’s journey. I believe we arrive in our lives with meaning, timing, and agency, and that beneath the layers of fear or conditioning is a sense of sovereignty and wholeness waiting to be reclaimed.

My role is simply to walk alongside you as you notice what may be getting in the way of fully inhabiting that truth so you can embody it in ways that feel grounded, authentic, and your own.

 

My Beliefs

 

1

I understand human experience as moving primarily between love and fear. My natural orientation has always been toward compassion and empathy, and I find it both intuitive and sustainable to meet people, and the parts of themselves they often reject, with steadiness and care.

Because this way of being comes easily to me, I am able to hold a calm, grounded presence that feels safe and nonjudgmental, even in places others may avoid or rush to fix. This does not mean a lack of boundaries. On the contrary, clear, ethical boundaries are central to my work.

That combination, deep compassion paired with discernment, allows me to help clients identify and release what no longer belongs in their inner or energetic lives, in ways that are respectful, stabilizing, and aligned with their own agency.

I hold non-violence as a guiding ethic in both my life and my work. I have always been deeply attuned to suffering, and from a young age I felt it viscerally, conflict and harm have never felt abstract to me, but immediate and unsettling.

That sensitivity has shaped my commitment to compassion rather than force. I am not drawn to spectacle or confrontation, and I have never understood the impulse to find excitement in another’s pain. Instead, my orientation has always been toward care, protection, and restoration.

This ethic of compassion extends beyond people alone, to animals, the natural world, and to experiences or presences often met with fear or rejection. I understand suffering as something that can take many forms, and I approach all of it with the same intention: to reduce harm, restore balance, and respond with discernment rather than violence.

I understand life as a process of ongoing co-creation, shaped by individual choice, collective systems, and forces far beyond any one person’s control. I do not believe this means suffering is deserved, chosen in a simple way, or morally justified.

I hold this perspective gently, especially in the face of profound harm, such as war, genocide, natural disasters, and the suffering of children, animals, and the earth itself. These realities demand reverence, grief, and accountability, not spiritual explanation or bypassing.

Rather than framing life through the language of blame or victimhood, I find it more grounding to focus on agency, meaning, and response: how we relate to what has happened, how we integrate it, and how we reclaim choice in the aftermath. For many, this orientation can be empowering, not because it explains tragedy, but because it restores a sense of dignity, sovereignty, and possibility where helplessness might otherwise take root.

I don’t claim to understand the full mystery of life, nor do I believe all questions require answers. This way of seeing is not about certainty, it is about holding complexity with humility, and choosing interpretations that reduce suffering rather than deepen it.


I approach this work with deep humility. I don’t ask anyone to take my words as truth, or to adopt my perspective as their own. My invitation is always to listen inwardly, to take what resonates, and to leave the rest without obligation.

Experience has taught me that certainty is fragile. Whenever I begin to believe I have something fully understood, life quickly reminds me of how much remains unknown. That ongoing humbling has become a teacher in itself, drawing me into greater curiosity, attentiveness, and respect for the mystery we are living within.

Because of this, my understanding of the world is never fixed. I remain a student, continually learning, revising, and allowing my beliefs to be shaped by new insight, relationship, and lived experience. This posture of openness is not a lack of grounding; it is how I stay present, ethical, and alive to what is unfolding.
