I’m an herbalist, intuitive guide,
and certified fertility awareness educator with over 20 years of experience walking with women.

I help them reconnect with their bodies, the land, and the voice of Spirit within.

Y’all — I get SO lit up
holding space for this work.
It just never gets old.

I want you to feel that spark too —
to turn overwhelm into clarity,
and daily life into something sacred
.

My work has been shaped by years of study with beloved teachers in herbalism, mysticism, and the hard knocks of motherhood. Along the way, I’ve earned certifications as a FEMM educator and lactation counselor.

I’ve supported births and sat beside those crossing back over — holding both beginnings and endings with reverence. Rooted in deep relationship with the seasons, the land, the saints, and the unseen, I let these connections quietly guide the way I show up, hold space, and listen.

When I learned to chart my ovulatory cycles over 20 years ago, it blew my mind.
How was I never taught this? Why don’t women know this?

That one discovery opened the door to everything else — a lifelong journey of understanding myself, my body, and my place in the natural world. I started by helping other women on online message boards, staying up late analyzing charts, and answering questions. It lit something in me that never burned out.

But this journey has never stayed still.

My cycles have shifted. My body has changed. I’ve walked through infertility, miscarriage, miraculous pregnancies, trauma, heartbreak, and profound healing. I’ve had to meet myself over and over again — with softness, with curiosity, with reverence. I’ve learned how to sit in silence, how to tend to my own heart, and how to become a true friend to myself. That’s the kind of wisdom I bring into everything I offer — and it’s what I want for you, too.

Ten years ago, I never saw myself as an entrepreneur. I was a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom with a full house and a full heart. I loved supporting other women, mentoring new mamas, serving as a spiritual director, offering what I wish someone had given me — but I didn’t think I could turn that into something more.

And yet… here I am. With a beautiful, soul-led business that blends all the parts of me.
 

Today, my work is rooted in cycles, spirit, and the land.

My practice is practical, mystical, and deeply relational.

I am learning to listen to my own teaching every day; to walk slowly and embrace where I am in my cycle, in my life.  To rest when I need to rest, take advantage of my high energy times, set boundaries, and take radical responsibility with the knowledge I have of myself.  

Experience and Wisdom have taught me how important it is to nourish myself every day and to do this first.  So I make sure to fuel my beautiful body, make play a top priority and sit in surrendered silence with God. This looks different in the various parts of my seasons and the seasons of the Earth.

That is what rooted cyclical living is all about and that is what I hope to share with you!

Some other fun things about me:

  • I’m a fierce Mama Bear through birth and adoption.

  • I’m known for my flowy dresses, my big earrings, and for frolicking barefoot in fields picking flowers.  

  • I dance and play every day.  I dance in the car, while making dinner, while talking to my kids, I just dance every chance I can get.  I’m the mom on the swingset swinging way higher than my own kids. 

  • I love emo music and am mediocre at skateboarding, but that doesn’t stop this wanna be punk rock girl!  

  • Epic road trips are my jam.  My kids and I have driven to 31 states and hope to see the remaining 19 together.  

  • I raise monarch butterflies, which teach me so much about life and look very pretty fluttering around my medicinal gardens.
