Thank you for stopping by. My hope is that by sharing my human experience, others will feel seen and loved. Masking and shame are isolating, and healing requires connection, therefore we need to intentionally destigmatize having a human experience together. As an astrologer, certified hypnotist, herbalist, and psychic medium, I bring teaching and messages to the collective for our highest good. As a person in recovery, I bring reflections for living life fully.
Here are current offerings:
All Subscription Types
Daily:
I post a Note, a Tarot or Oracle card pulled for the collective each weekday morning plus an inspired haiku. On Sundays, I post a card spread plus the inspired haiku arising from the cards.
Every Monday, A Personal Post + Weekly Energy: Guidance for the week, a personal share, with astrology woven in.
Fridays, Recovery (~weekly). I share an 5-10 min audio reflection on what is helping me live fully in recovery from many things.
Bonus for Paid Subscribers ($50/year or $5/mo) and Alchemists (Founding Members, $225/year):

Monthly Live Gatherings (recordings will be sent out after, too)!
I will host an Ask Me Anything each 2nd Saturday of the month. Bring your questions about astrology, sobriety, herbalism, becoming a writer… I am pretty much an open book and want to share what I have learned.
Bonus for Alchemists only:
An annual personal Astrology Reading, Mediumship, or Inspired Guidance session (up to a $225 value) with me.
Here are some examples and a description below of what you’ll find me writing about and why:
Astrology.
“Nothing in astrology indicates ‘This is so as a fact’ or ‘This will occur.’ Astrology shows us the best - because natural - way of facing any situation in terms of our own individual nature.” - Dane Rudhyar, An Astrological Mandala: The Cycle of Transformations and its 360 Symbolic Phases
As I started to recover from alcohol, I realized I was also recovering my humanity, which had been covered up by years of the conditioning I had absorbed so well that I could not feel where it ended and I began.
Astrology helped me first to understand who I was, this ego self, naturally. What was I passionate about simply because I was?
Not because those passions were part of any external transaction.
Not because the passions existed in me based upon belief systems which had been given to me, and which I had internalized for survival.
Armed with knowledge of our natural blueprint, we can discern what is right for us. We reclaim some of the “inner vitality, character and mental acuity” that Rudhyar saw diminished by an over-materialized society.
And once we begin walking the path that is right for us, we begin to feel the presence of something larger than ourselves that will begin to inform our choices and aid not only the ego, but the soul’s evolution, as well.
Alchemy.
Carl Jung (1946) stated “Alchemy describes, not merely in general outline but often in the most astonishing detail, the same psychological phenomenology which can be observed in the analysis of unconscious processes”. Reference.
I am not a psychologist, yet my lived experience finds resonance in his use of the word to apply not only to the transformation of lead into gold, but the transformation we experience once we submit to a mysterious process which allows the unconscious to dialogue with the subconscious and conscious parts of ourselves.
Yes, I did work in a laboratory for several years, performing tasks which would yield pharmaceutical products, but somehow that did not feel alchemical to me. Now, when I am creating tinctures, salves, and other compounds from herbal components which lend me their wisdom as well as their physical materials, well, that feels alchemical.
I continue to alchemize myself, continuously working to overcome the fear of the unknown, or often, the fear of my own imagination and power.
Honest Recovery.
When I was first getting sober, I was so afraid I would get it wrong, too. I say “too”, because by that point in my life, I felt that I had messed up all the things that truly mattered to me.
I had spent decades being intentionally and unintentionally dishonest with myself. About what I wanted, what I could endure, what my options were, who I was inside, what I cared about, what I believed to be true. So, the first order of business was to the best of my ability to be ruthlessly honest with myself. I started journaling, for once not just parking ruminative thoughts, or remaining superficial.
I share journal entries from my first year of sobriety, and I will continue to share as honestly as possible as I recover from other traumas, trainings, and truths.
A little About Me:
In the space of about a year, I got sober, left my corporate career of 29 years, began a healing practice (astrology, hypnosis, and psychic mediumship) using the tools which most helped me, and started writing here on Substack.
