ABOUT ME

"My path has been anything but linear — each turn has tuned me to a broader frequency, allowing me to meet others in the tender, unseen places."
MY STORYembodied alchemist • visual storyteller • mother of flame and water
I am a body who remembers.
Of sorrow turned to song,
of earth held in my bones,
of stories whispered through scar and stretch marks.
I walk the path of reclamation—
where healing is not linear,
but cyclical, cellular, and sung in the language of movement.
Where grief is a gate and love is a feral animal
that keeps finding its way home.
Rooted in the dirt of my becoming,
I carry the medicine of lived experience—
addiction alchemized, motherhood softened,
neurocomplexity honored like a wild wisdom.
Through Embodied Alchemy, I offer spaces where
the body is not a problem to fix,
but a landscape to befriend.
Where somatic care, creative expression, and collective rhythm
gather us back to ourselves—and each other.
Photography, too, is an extension of this remembering.
A visual ritual.
A tender, intuitive way of saying, I see you.
Not just your smile,
but the way your story hums beneath your skin.
I believe in access. In autonomy.
In co-regulation and interdependence.
In land as teacher.
In not rushing the becoming.
This work is a weaving.
Of trauma and triumph.
Of ritual and rupture.
Of the sacred mess that is being gloriously,
unapologetically human.

MY PRACTICEEmbodied Alchemy is a practice of space holding and grounded compassion to allow for a widened capacity to integrate our wounded parts. I use an eclectic balance of modalities including but not limited to: somatic parts work, energy work, movement, imaginative play and connection to the natural world. This dynamic practice offers a perspective shift to our modern day ideals around healing and health. Embodied Alchemy creates space rather than tries to fix, this practice see’s our deepest wounds and allows a gentle weaving into healing and unveiling the gifts that lie beneath them.
BELIEFS I CENTEROur bodies hold the key to our deepest Truth
The body holds a wisdom that is encoded into every cell of our being. It is a wisdom that comes from the Soul of the Earth and connects us to every living organism on this big, beautiful planet. The mind can lead us to many different realities, but our bodies never lie. When we connect to and honor what our bodies are speaking, we can live in right relationship with ourselves, our communities and the planet.
You are deserving of unconditional love and care.
You are here by no mistake. You have unique gifts that only you can offer that benefit this collective. You deserve to be loved and cared for no matter where your life path has taken you. Systems of oppression often condition us to question our inherent worth, silencing our curiosity and wonder. By connecting to our body and learning the language in which it speaks to us, we can trust in our enoughness.
Being witnessed in community heals
A strong, connected community is one of the most healing experiences we can have as humans. Our Western society offers a lie that we must carry the weight of our past in secret, that we must “hold it all together” and that if we just hustle hard enough, we will be good enough…. These are deeply rooted in oppressive systems and keep us from connecting and healing with one another. True healing happens in community. To be witnessed outside of the lens of judgement is where true alchemy begins.
There are gifts waiting to be unveiled under our deepest wounds
Healing is alchemy. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transferred or transformed. The energy that lives in our wounded spaces holds potent medicine and powerful gifts. When we grow our capacity to move with these wounds, to dance and sing their stories and drum the beat of their heartbeat, a transformation like no other occurs.
A more inclusive and loving world is possible
When we tap into our hearts, radiate unconditional love and compassion in the fullness of our being, we empower the ones around us to do the same. When we center the communities who have been purposely marginalized and allow their voices to be heard, and their stories to be grieved- we create space for liberation. I believe that this liberation is possible and I will continue to walk the spiral path back to the center, I hope you will join me.
As a member of the Chahta (Choctaw) Tribe, and steward of the Earth, being in Right Relationship with the Land and the Ancestors of the Land is my highest priority.
I acknowledge that the land from which I live, breathe, and offer this work is the ancestral and unceded territory of the Wichita, Osage, Kickapoo, Kiowa & Comanche people. These lands have been home to generations of Indigenous communities who have cultivated deep relationship with the earth through ceremony, story, care, and resistance.
I offer my respect to their elders past and present, and to all Indigenous peoples whose presence continues to nurture this land despite centuries of displacement and harm.
This acknowledgment is not a replacement for reparative action, but a starting point. I commit to ongoing unlearning of colonial patterns within myself and my work, and to returning again and again to the wisdom of land as teacher, kin, and sustainer.
I invite you—wherever you are—to learn the names and stories of the Indigenous stewards of your land, and to listen deeply to how your body and being can contribute to repair, reciprocity, and reverence.
