I have always been curious about the ways in which we connect with the natural world and the spirit world – what can be seen and what is unseen. I came to Oregon from Maui for college, earning my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, followed by advanced studies in Nutrition and Herbal Medicine. During my years as a clinician, I began to appreciate the integral interplay of the “quadrinity” that is essential to the healing process: the intellect, the emotional child, the physical body, and the spiritual self. Motivated to further my education, I delved into shamanic journeywork through the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, deepened my knowledge of flower essences, plant spirit medicine, and energy medicine, and became a professional member of the American Herbalists Guild.
Guiding and instructing others along their paths to healing revealed recurring themes – patterns of constraining beliefs and detrimental self-dialogue that led to suffering. This realization prompted me to author “Rooted in Purpose,” which outlined the tools I had developed over time to live as one’s authentic self.

My experience with psychedelics began after working with an ayahuasquero in Mexico. These ceremonies led me to a profound understanding of my own life’s mission – facilitating others on their journey toward self-discovery and ultimately self-love.

My desire and privilege is to guide for you so that you can develop deeper trust in your own inherent gifts, strengths, and ability to heal yourself. In working together, I create a safe and empathetic environment that encourages insights, transformation, and self- acceptance – the cornerstone of cultivating joy, emotional resilience, and a sense of personal empowerment.
