Somewhere there’s a word,
an ancient curvature—
or cosmic derivation of wonder—
celebrating the festival of seven sisters,
a three-ring circus of overgrown lilacs,
a nine-letter mystery of infinite arrival.
This is my name.
Chorus of starlight,
thrumming moss and cedar,
river on the tongue,
hawk in the cadence,
golden nectar of the dawn.
This is your name.
Rounding a hollow
(needled path by lucid moon)
on the way to
our christening: boundless ocean
of baptismal waters.
Singular bell ringing.
This is our name.
So much of my ordinary life and identity dissolved over fifteen years ago into the great ocean of being. In that dissolving, I began to experience myself as a kaleidoscopic expression of the vast, untamed, and untranslatable space of primordial love from which light and dark are born.
I have been multidimensionally aware and fluid since I can remember, but like many sensitive children, this was not understood or encouraged by the adults in my life. When I was seventeen, I experienced three nights of visitations from a presence I could only call God. This awakened within me a profound sense of soul mission and direction. In those series of visitations I was reminded of my soul agreement to serve humanity’s ascension in frequency and the expansion of consciousness we are undergoing at this time. I understood, even then, the necessity of humanity’s awakening to the interconnectedness of all life and to our intrinsic divinity so that we might survive as a species.
During those three nights I specifically remembered a series of lifetimes living in Kenya. I remembered soul family who I loved. Not only did I want to visit them, I was shown a role I would play in Kenya that would support planetary awakening while I was there. At that age, I couldn’t have possibly understood all that would be involved with my soul’s return to Africa. But when I did finally travel to Kenya, thirty-seven years after my initial visions, twelve Gikuyu shaman were awaiting my arrival (and the arrival of my companions) on the sacred mountain known as Kirinyaga (Mount Kenya.) None of us had ever, once ,verbally spoken or corresponded. Until I arrived, my only communication with the shaman was telepathic. It was only one of many meaningful soul reunions and homecomings I have experienced in this lifetime.
So it was I would often (and still) have premonitions or dreams of soul family before I meet them. By the time I was in my 30s, I was receiving detailed communication from and experiences with guides on the other side of the veil as well as from embodied souls I would eventually meet in human form. Such was the case with all three of my Tibetan teachers—-two on the other side of the veil and one who is a living master. I studied and practiced formally within the Nyingma and Kagyu lineages of Tibetan Buddhism for nine years until I was guided to release all formal practices. There is a saying within the Zen tradition that goes: “If you meet the Buddha on the side of the road, kill him.” The idea is if we identify with anything that matches our preconceived notion of what transcendence is supposed to look like, we are not actually fully present to the moment. Presence is fresh and uncontrived, without concepts, allowing each moment to organically reveal its radiance.
I am trained formally and experientially in a myriad of counseling and transformational modalities. I worked the first ten years of my professional life in a variety of social work and therapeutic settings . By my early twenties I was supporting survivors of rape, incest, and domestic violence. By necessity, I devoured all the information I could ingest in order to understand trauma healing and parts integration. During this time, I embarked upon my own path of personal and ancestral healing, which over the years included utilizing a whole spectrum of the healing and meditative arts.
In mid 30s I co-founded and grew a successful online business with my life partner of that time and anchored deeply into my relationship with the land and natural world, cultivating a large organic garden, caring for many animals, and stewarding 20 acres of forested land. Throughout this time I experienced intermittent states of bliss and non-dual awareness, along with persistent conditioning. In my early 40s I experienced a kundalini awakening so profound it induced days of bliss followed by a physical, emotional, and energetic clearing that left me struggling to reconcile, navigate, and maintain any semblence of a conventional life.
By 2010, my soul’s calling to fully embrace the path of the mystic was so insistent I walked away from almost every facet of life I had previously created. I ended a 15-year marriage and undertook a rigorous multidimensional training in near-solitude for two years. Part of that time included a very long, dark night of the soul as I grieved the loss of conventional identities, relationships, career, and financial security as I had previously created. I purged a preponderance of the energetic architecture that offered my ego a sense of safety and belonging but that, ultimately, enslaved my spirit. I learned to live in the cauldron of the unknown.
During those two years I also experienced conscious recall of thousands of lifetimes. I began to experience functions and abilities flow through me that were related to stewardship of Gaia’s crystalline grid, her temples, plasma flows, and Krysted realms. In 2012, I moved from Iowa to California and dedicated myself to this stewardship as well as to supporting humanity’s awakening and embodiment of our original radiance. From 2017 to 2025 I was semi-nomadic, in service as a steward of the crystalline grid, temples, and flows, based part-time out of Mount Shasta but traveling and living for months at a time in Europe, Africa, and throughout the United States.
I have maintained a small, private online intuitive counseling/coaching practice with individuals and groups since 2013. Between 2017 and 2024 I co-facilitated six group pilgrimages to sacred lands on three different continents.
I am delighted to be rooted and nesting now for the first time in many years in Nevada County, California, I invite you to work with me online or in person here.
