For as long as I can remember I was fascinated by space time, the cosmos and even my own mortality, always looking up to the sky knowing I was not of this body. This world and the thoughts I had around it didn’t make sense to me, so I looked for avenues to escape it as I got older. It brought me down a path of great suffering and despite the hardships that path was truly a blessing in my life. Through my active addiction and into my recovery, I realized my ever present connection to spirit. I found I had always been guided by something much greater than myself and every experience has brought me closer to that inner knowing. Through rigorous self discovery, I cultivated a loving relationship with myself, mother earth and the ever present force that walks alongside all of us.
My spiritual well being has formed many layers throughout the years. Spanning from eastern, yogic teachings of mindfulness to indigenous, tribal teachings of plant spirit consciousness I have peeled back many layers into myself and the collective. Yoga helped me unravel my body's stored trauma early on and the power of plant consciousness helped me transmute it into art and song. I have learned the power of right relationship to all energy forms (living and nonliving) and to continuously honor the ancestry within my blood and bone. I have gone further into animism and ancestral healing and although it has been challenging to dive that deep, it is a great honor to bring life back into an older way. We animate the force of life, and live that life through the eyes of our ancestors, it is an honor to remember.
With teachers now in The States, Peru and The UK, I have become well versed in Dieta work, ceremonial plant medicines, ancestral healing and am now a 2x initiated Kambo practitioner and Holistic Massage Therapist serving the New England area.
The transformations I have seen within myself and others through this path is a true testament of how powerful the human spirit really is. Mother nature provides us with everything we need. I will forever bow at the altar to such potent allies.
