After many experiences as a child and adult, and a deep connection to an inner divine thread, she was always called to study the esoteric and occult sciences. She particularly loves the work of the brilliant OGs like Rudolf Steiner. She is also a woman, friend, sister, birth keeper, doula, mizan therapist, astrologer, artist, and adventurer. She is also the host of Wisdom Weavers Podcast. She's from NYC but has lived in Europe the last few years, in a more adventurous, nomadic way. Birth keeping has led the way. She's supported dozens of births and birthing women + their partners + their families. She has also supported people dealing with loss, and believes the line between birth and death is quite thin. Both must be honored. No matter what she does in this world, the form may change, but the essence is the same, to self-realize and to be of service to women, children, humanity and to this planet."
