Welcome, Kindred Spirit

I’m deeply grateful you’re here, drawn by a spark of curiosity about the path that shaped my work and the woman I’ve become.

In a world overflowing with spiritual teachers, it’s natural to wonder—what makes this journey different?

If you’ve found your way here, perhaps you’re someone who feels the quiet hum of something ancient inside you… the knowing that life holds more than what we’ve been taught. Perhaps you’re ready to reconnect with your own wisdom—to hear your body, your intuition, and your heart speaking again in their true voices.

My path has never been defined by titles or degrees, but by a life lived as both temple and teacher. My wisdom comes from seasons walked through fire and through blossom; from listening, remembering, and honoring the breath-to-breath stories passed down by those who came before us.

I believe the most profound growth comes from those who embody their teachings—whose life is their prayer, whose steps are a testament to transformation. True wisdom does not come from labels or credentials; it shines through the way we live, love, heal, and rise.

"Titles are vessels for ego.
True wisdom radiates through the life we live."

From Darkness to Light

Eighteen years ago, my life felt like an endless tunnel.

I was caught in a cycle of chronic illness, an abusive relationship, work that hollowed out my spirit, and the crushing weight of financial struggle.

I felt lost — disconnected — as though I had slipped out of my own life.

There were days when even sunlight felt heavy, when my own reflection seemed like a stranger.

“Every pain was a portal.”

But then, the first ember of change began to glow:

  • I found the courage to leave the relationship that dimmed my light

  • I reclaimed my self-worth and began to heal the wounds of abuse

  • And I opened my heart again — this time to a love that would cherish me fully

Today, I walk beside my husband, Michael, whose love is a sanctuary where I can be fully, unapologetically myself.

Vulnerability, once a threat, is now the most beautiful truth I know.

Love became my medicine, and truth became my way home.

A Healing Journey

Chronic illness was one of the threads woven through those darkest years, and it would ultimately become one of the most important initiators of my spiritual path.

For years, I lived with mast cell activation syndrome. Its unpredictable flares could overwhelm my body and shape the boundaries of my daily life.

My search for healing is what first brought me to shamanism.

In time, I came to understand MCAS as my shamanic illness — the illness that opened a doorway into a way of healing, listening, and relating to Spirit that would change the course of my life.

Through shamanic practice, journeying, inner healing, and learning to listen deeply to my body, the pattern began to shift.

The flares that once seemed to take over my life became shorter. Then they became less frequent. And eventually, I entered remission.

Shamanism did far more than change my experience of illness. It transformed my relationship with my body. I stopped seeing it simply as something that was betraying me and began to understand it as something communicating with me — something worthy of relationship, attention, and reverence.

I share this as the truth of my own healing journey, not as a promise or prescription for how another person’s illness should unfold.

Looking back, I can see that MCAS was not separate from my spiritual path.

It was the doorway into it.

The illness I once wanted only to escape became the very thing that led me to shamanism — and ultimately into a deeper relationship with my body, Spirit, and the work I am here to do.

"Healing is not the absence of struggle—
it’s the ability to find radiance within it. "

Living a Life
I Once Only Dreamed Of

Healing did not simply change how I felt within myself — it changed the life I was able to create.

Today, I live with purpose, creativity, and connection.

  • I teach Pilates in my own vibrant studio.

  • I create art — the passion of my life.

  • I share spiritual and teachings through Mystic Spirit Wisdom.

Our home, nestled in the quiet arms of nature, is a sanctuary of reverence and wonder.

Mornings begin with warm coffee, cuddles from my pups, and easy, beautiful conversation with my husband.

Evenings close in gratitude — with the soft glow of a candle, the scent of incense drifting nearby, and the steady heartbeat of a drum guiding me into stillness.

This life was shaped through years of devotion, study, daily practice, healing, and the courage to keep saying yes to my soul’s calling.

"Every hardship was a stepping stone."

A Different Kind of Leadership

My approach to women’s spirituality is not born from preaching about how we have been wronged, nor from fueling rage against men or the patriarchy.

I am not here to fan the flames of blame, but to tend the sacred fire of remembrance — the remembering of who we truly are.

"True empowerment blooms from celebration, 
not opposition."

This is not about adopting masculine traits to prove our strength, but about rejoicing in the fullness of our feminine power — soft yet unyielding, intuitive yet wise, nurturing yet fierce.

For me, feminine empowerment is a return to what has always lived within us — the sacred, creative, intuitive, life-giving force that does not need to compete, imitate, or diminish another in order to know its own strength.

It is about inhabiting ourselves more fully.

My work is not to lead from above, but to walk beside you — to remind you of your own light, your own wisdom, and your own sacred way of seeing the world.

The Spiritual Path

Everything I create—whether through movement, art, or ceremony—is born from a single intention: to help others remember their innate wholeness. When one woman reclaims her light, the whole world brightens.

It is from this place of deep reverence for the feminine that I have gathered the wisdom, practices, and traditions that guide my life and work today.

My journey has woven together many sacred threads — the healing currents of Reiki and ThetaHealing; the initiatory fires of Priestess traditions; the timeless embrace of the Goddess; the heartbeat of the drum in shamanic practice; and the whisper of the Norns through Seidr and Norse seership.

Woven through them all is my relationship with the ancestors — honoring those who came before, listening for the wisdom they carry, and remembering that our lives are part of a story far older than ourselves.

Since 2022, I have walked in devotion as Abbess of Ord Brighideach, a flame-keeping order that honors Brighid as both Goddess and Saint.

This role is a vow — a living thread in the great tapestry of service, healing, and awakening.

"Every path has been both teacher and mirror, 
guiding me home to what I already carried within."

My Heart-Centered Titles:
Wife, Mother, Oma

Though I avoid labels, there are three that feel like the roots of my life:

Wife. Mother. Oma.

These roles ground me in love and remind me of what truly matters. I share a cozy, magical home near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with my soulmate, Michael, and our mischievous mini dachshunds, Davina and Oren.

My motherhood journey has been both heart-wrenching and heart-opening:

  • My beloved son Joshua became my guiding angel more than three decades ago.

  • My son Zane, with his humor and compassion, has always been my inspiration.

Zane and his beautiful wife Lexy have blessed us with three radiant grandchildren — Mileena, Nellie, and Leo.

Being their Oma is one of my greatest joys — it is a daily invitation to see the world again through the eyes of wonder.

Family is the rhythm of my days, the grounding of my spirit, and the truest altar of my devotion.

​"Every shared moment is a miracle I hold sacred."

Walking the Path Together

If my story awakens a familiar longing within you, know that it is your spirit recognizing something true and calling you toward deeper remembrance.

I’m here to walk beside you as you explore that path.

Whether our paths cross through a Shamanic Healing Session, Private Spiritual Mentorship, Walking the Medicine Wheel, or The Radiant Way, the heart of my work is simple: to create a space where your spirit can breathe, your intuition can rise, and you can remember the wisdom already alive within you.

Together, we gently tend the sacred in you — allowing your light and your gifts to come forward more fully into the world.

My own journey has taught me that we don’t walk toward wholeness alone; we walk with those who have walked the fires before us. It’s my honor to be one of those steady hands for you.

And wherever you are on your path — beginning, returning, or rediscovering — you are welcome here.

This is a place where your soul’s truth is honored, seen, and held with care.

“In the gentle unfurling, we become.”

Thank You for Walking With Me

If you’ve read these words, know that I see you, I honor you, and I’m grateful our paths have crossed.

May your journey be woven with healing, courage, and the magic of becoming.

May you rise radiant in your own remembering. May your path be guided by wonder and lit by the quiet flame of your truth.

Thank you for being part of this remembering.

With love and luminous connection,
