  I’ve been on a self-reflective path and healing my ancestral lineage for the last 28 years. I began my studies within the yoga path and started teaching 25 years ago. I added coaching as a part of my work and moved into ceremonial studies thereafter. I have been teaching and guiding other humans on their self-reflective path for 25 years, and have specialized in areas that empower women during significant life transitions for the past 10. I’ve taught several retreats for mostly women diving into life transitions and how to navigate them successfully and truthfully. My most beloved course, Sacred Communication was created to teach women how to communicate in a way that helps them be seen and heard and therefore honored in all of their...

I am a maker, and a doer, a horsewoman, a rancher, a sister and a daughter. I live my life with as much intention as I can, and follow my heart as much as possible. The only things that get in the way of that sometimes are my head, and society. ​ I have studied horsemanship, yoga, nature connection work, primitive skills, equus/life coaching, permaculture and probably more. I am a studier of life, I like to know how to do things and why we are the way we are. And try to live my own life artfully. ​ I believe we all have very limiting beliefs, and stories of hardship that get in our way of who we truly want to be and that these things limit how...
