My path through life has been a circuitous one and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Years of experiences working throughout the U.S. as an herbalist, massage therapist, and jewelry designer led me to Oregon. It’s there I planted my roots to be a parent and small business owner.

I established, directed and owned Giving Tree Preschool for over a decade. By creating an adaptive curriculum that encompasses the whole child through social, emotional, and global awareness I was able to gain insight as to how their parents and caretakers lives played a role in their development as well. The relationships I had with the families on both personal and professional levels were crucial to my success. I was with them through their struggles and achievements in parenting, relationships, career growth, and major life decisions. With them I discovered how essential the link between connection and creativity is to all of us in order to thrive.

I took a step back to examine ways to work with people by helping them make positive changes in their lives. With a holistic approach to my own self development, I gained clarity. I came to realize creativity and community connection have been a common thread through all my endeavors. The desire to share and continue to contribute to others brought me to coaching and leading creative wellness workshops. In 2019 I became a coach through Lumia Coaching. A year later I began my own journey working with Psychedelics while facilitating and coaching clients through their own experiences. In 2022 I began my certification as an Addiction Recovery & Psychedelic Integration Coach through Being True To You. Currently, I’m working toward a certification as a Functional Nutritionist.

It’s all a natural fit, and I maintain endless gratitude for those who allow me to be part of their own journey.
