About
My vision is of a world where people and the more-than-human world live in regenerative harmony, as allies and kin, collaborating toward abundance and well being for all.
Greetings! I’m a Wildlife Tracker, Interspecies Communicator, and Nature Connection Facilitator.
For over 25 years, I have been practicing ways of deepening connection with Nature, and Spirit through psychoeducation, neuroscience, somatics and energy awareness. My work is informed by over 20 years as a professional Massage Therapist and Bodyworker, with studies and practice including Interpersonal Neurobiology, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Trauma Integration, Emotional Clearing, Craniosacral Therapy, Chakra-work, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Elements theory.
I’ve studied Wildlife Tracking through Shikari Tracker Mentoring with Jon Young and Josh Lane, and Tom Brown Jr.’s Tracker School. I’m a graduate of the Kamana Naturalist Training Program, and have studied Interspecies Communication with Anna Breytenbach and Wynter Worsthorne.
My passion is to consciously weave Nature and Spirit into the healing journey. I find great depth and empowerment in applying perspectives such as neuroscience and energy awareness to Nature Connection practices, and strongly feel called to share my experience with others.
My Work
My courses and other offerings are designed to support people in opening and refining their natural intuition, to experience the felt sense of connection with all of life, and to embody the magic of their own spirit. Practices such as Wildlife Tracking for Connection and Primal Communication cultivate this awareness, empower the more-than-human world, and foster reciprocal healing with the Earth.
My work weaves the mystical with the practical, spirit with science, and creative freedom with grounded structure. My intention is to enliven the inner knowing within each of us, and stoke the fire of direct personal experience toward embodied wisdom.
My Roots
I had the great blessing of growing up in Nature. Born in small-town Central Maine, as a child I spent all of my free time outside wandering in the forest, exploring amongst the rocky outcrops in the tall grass of the meadow, playing in streambeds, and splashing through the ocean waves.
Nature was the primary context of my reality, and my identity was shaped by the relationships I had with the many beings of the landscape. In my connection with the more-than-human world, the realm of Spirit opened naturally, and became part of my everyday awareness.
As I got older, modern society slowly pulled me out of the woods, and I became desensitized to my own interconnectedness. My attempt to conform with societal expectations had caused the vitality in my body to dwindle, along with my zest for life.
One day in my early 20’s, I woke up to realize I could no longer feel the beauty of a mountain range light me up with awe. I was literally hiking in the mountains of Northern New Mexico, gazing across a gorgeous vista, and I could feel nothing. In that moment, I was struck first with grief, then with the great fear of having lost touch with myself and what I knew to be real. My passion ignited, and I committed to finding my way back home, to myself and to the embrace of our Mother Earth.
Toward personal and planetary healing
Throughout my journey of healing and trauma integration, connection to Nature and Spirit has proven to not only be incredibly helpful, but absolutely necessary in the healing process. We are born of Nature and Spirit, and it is our perceived disconnection from this as our true selves that creates the etheric template of dis-ease.
We can only truly heal in relationship with the living Earth and Spirit. And so that is the calling — to ally with Nature, our own true nature and the more-than-human world, and to open to Spirit, for personal and planetary healing.
