Roots & Early Path

My path began in Utah, where I was raised within the Mormon faith. From a young age, I felt a deep connection to nature and the unseen realms—a quiet knowing that there were many ways to experience the Divine.

As I grew older, I began exploring spirituality beyond religion, following the visions that appeared in dreams and meditation. These inner callings guided me to Los Angeles, where I followed a creative pull to bring the images and symbols from my dreams into form through art and design.


The Call to Create

In Los Angeles, I immersed myself in the fashion world, but over time, I began to feel the imbalance within the fast-paced, competitive world of fashion. I realized I was creating beauty outwardly while feeling disconnected inwardly. That awareness became the catalyst for my deeper transformation—a call to realign my life with the heart and rediscover the sacred within everyday living.

I have a long germinating vision about creating a clothing line inspired by sacred geometry, nature, and dream imagery. Art as prayer—a bridge between the physical and the spiritual. Clothing that can be infused with intention from every fiber, yarn and stitch.  


The Awakening

Leaving the fashion world behind, I stepped fully onto a path of healing, self-inquiry, and spiritual practice. I studied yoga, meditation, breathwork, and energy medicine, gradually remembering the innate gifts that had been with me since childhood—intuition, visioning, and the ability to channel healing energy.

During this time, I also began exploring the world of frequency and sound—discovering how vibration, voice, and Yoga Nidra can open gateways to deep rest and expanded awareness. These practices began to merge naturally with yoga, meditation, and energy work, forming the integrated healing approach I offer today.


Sedona & the Path of Healing

My journey eventually led me to Sedona, Arizona, where the red rocks, open skies, and ancient land became profound teachers. Here, I discovered the practices of Forest BathingYin Yoga, and Shamanic Ceremony—each one deepening my connection to the Earth and the spiritual intelligence that moves through all life.

I learned that healing doesn’t come from striving—it arises through presence. When we connect with the natural world, we remember our own divine nature reflected back through the elements, the wind, the stones, and the trees.


My Work & Offerings

Today, I share these teachings through experiences designed to restore balance and awaken the heart:

  • Yoga & Meditation (Yin, Restorative, Vinyasa, and Yoga Nidra)

  • Certified Forest Bathing Walks & Nature Immersions

  • Shamanic Healing & Ceremony in Nature

  • Sound Healing Journeys & Voice Activation

  • Sacred Circles, Retreats & Seasonal Rites

My teaching style is intuitive, heart-centered, and accessible for all levels. Each experience is guided by the intention to bring people home to their bodies, the Earth, and their own luminous awareness.

Shamanic Healing & Ceremony

As a Shamanic Healing Facilitator, I guide sessions primarily in nature, where the Earth serves as a living mirror for our divine essence. Through connection with the elements, the directions, and sacred sound, I help clear energetic stagnation and awaken the natural flow of life force energy.

In these spaces, I collaborate with angels, ancestors, and nature spirits, inviting their wisdom and presence to assist in healing and transformation. This work honors the understanding that we are never separate from Spirit—each moment in nature is an opportunity to remember our wholeness and reclaim our light.

My Sound Healing certification deepened my study of vibration and frequency as tools for harmony and renewal. Whether through crystal singing bowls, channeled voice, or pure silence, sound becomes a bridge between the seen and unseen—a language the soul recognizes instantly.


Creativity as Medicine

My artistic background continues to infuse my work. I founded Ekstasis, a conscious clothing concept inspired by sustainability, symbolism, and beauty. Creativity is still my prayer—it allows me to express what words cannot, to honor nature through design, and to remind others that creation itself is sacred.


Philosophy

I believe that true wellness is not about escaping the world—it’s about coming home to it and living in harmony with her. The breath, the body and to the living Earth beneath our feet.  Creating sacred environments inspired by the sacred codes visible in nature, is the way of peace & total integration with this planet.  On a microcosmic scale, we ripple waves of embodiment through our daily lives into the infinite Universe. 
At the root of this awakening lies the Earth Star Chakra — the gateway that anchors our spirit into the crystalline heart of the Earth.  When this chakra is activated, we begin to embody Heaven on Earth — integrating our higher consciousness into physical form. It is through this connection that evolution becomes possible, not as an escape from the human experience, but as the full spectrum embrace of it.

Through yoga, sound, ceremony, and nature connection, I hold space for others to remember who they truly are: radiant, whole, and deeply interconnected with all of life.

My greatest joy is witnessing the moment when someone softens, breathes, and realizes the peace, power and divine light they were seeking was within them all along.
