I have always been drawn to the natural world. When I was young, I spent most of my time outdoors. Often coming home covered in mud and needing a thorough hose rinse before getting into the house. I can't remember a time when I didn't feel connected to plants. I insisted my parents name all the trees and shrubs they planted in our yard as well as chastising other children for hurting trees or plants in public spaces. My relationship with nature, especially plants has been a constant in my life.

As I entered adulthood, I was lucky enough to find a partner who loved being in nature as much as me. My husband and I have been together close to 20 years, and in that time, I've been able to grow my knowledge around plants in our own area, be it tree and wild flower recognition or starting a backyard homesteading garden to grow our own herbs, fruits and vegetables.

My other passion has been on how we humans connect to each other. I have a diploma in journalism and a bachelor's degree in communication and media studies which has helped me to understand how our society engages with us as individuals and us with society. It is through this studying that I became fascinated with the study of spirituality, mindfulness and meditation.

In 2023, I combined my love of learning and my love of plants and started my apprenticeship as a herbalist under Master Herbalist Chad Cornell of the Hollow Reed School. I am learning more and more about the healing and supportive role that our plant and fungi relations have always played in human lives, and my hope is to bring these roles back to the for front for my community.

After beginning my apprenticeship, I became intrigued with other healing modalities. In my search I found a Reiki Master and teacher, whom I am blessed to call a friend, Rev. Erin Harper of White Raven Spirit. I am a level 2 Usui Reiki Practitioner and find the connection I make with clients is both beautiful and meaningful. I've also completed training in meditation and I am currently training as a Neuro Linguistic Programming Master Practitioner and End of Life Care Doula. I hope that these two additional modalities will further my ability to reach the members of my community.

In my practice, I combine my cultural heritage, Norwegian and Celtic, with my intuitive work, herbalism, meditation and Reiki training to help folks find their true wellness and to pursue the life that fulfills them. My goal is to be a light post in a client's journey, illuminating what needs to be looked at, but allowing clients the flexibility and grace to engage with those parts of their lives. Only the one seeking healing can truly heal themselves. Those of us who are called to heal are only there to give support and guidance when asked.

I hope that if you feel called to do so, you reach out to book a consultation or a Reiki session so we can begin or continue your journey to a life that is fulfilled in every measure.
