Finding myself in a world of magic and celestial wonder, I have explored other modalities for learning about the human condition. I attended Heartstone Herbal School in 2018 and have since been making tinctures, salves & balms, and tea blends for any occasion. While I do not currently teach yoga, I use knowledge of the body, poses, energetics, and yogic philosophies to try to help soften the boundary between myself and the world, and I love helping others do the same. 

Fun Facts

I am not entirely sure what led me to get a hedgehog, but Plotinus kept me going through hard times during my Saturn return. Having a little nugget to care for was a learning experience and a challenge, and the joy he incited in all who encountered him was his gift to the world, and I am honoured to be a part of that. 

I started dance and gymnastics when I was three years old and continued until my senior year of high school. I still enjoy using these skills, particularly in the circus arts. Since shoulder issues became a limiting factor, I have moved from tumbling and aerial arts to handstands, juggling, and strength training.

 
The philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty wrote that "The body is our general medium for having a world"...I want that world to be as fun and playful as it can be!
