Some of my earliest memories are of being absorbed in the natural world, usually covered from head-to-toe in dirt and attuned to the ever-present scent of the farm. I was captivated by small things and carried more questions than answers. Long before I had language for it, I was learning to meet the world through curiosity, wonder, and relationship.
Perhaps it was no surprise when I went on to study geology in college. For more than twenty years, I worked as a geologist, advising clients and leading teams. That work kept me close to the earth and taught me to look beneath the surface, notice patterns and connections, and understand how change in one place can affect the whole.
Rooted in relationship with the earth.
Many of the experiences people bring into this work, such as burnout, decision fatigue, changing identities, difficult transitions, and feeling disconnected from themselves are landscapes I have encountered in my own professional and personal life. That experience allows me to meet the spiritual and energetic dimensions of a person’s life without losing sight of its practical realities.
Those years did more than shape how I think. I spent much of my adult life inside complex, demanding organizations that required me to carry responsibility, make consequential decisions, guide teams through uncertainty, and experience both the rewards and the costs of adapting to environments that ask a great deal of us.
I have spent much of my life moving between worlds that are often treated as separate—the practical and the intuitive, science and Spirit, the seen and the unseen. My work lives in the relationship between them.
After fifteen years away from Minnesota, a journey that included ten years in California, opening a healing practice in Bozeman, and an unexpected chapter in Peru, I returned home. Here, the different strands of my life and work are coming together, not as a departure from what came before, but as a continuation of it.
Even within corporate spaces, I was often drawn toward the human dimensions of the work. I facilitated teams, coached individuals, and brought practices such as yoga and breathwork into the workplace. Looking back, these were early markers along a path I did not yet know I was following.
That path deepened through study and practice in shamanic energy medicine, life and health coaching, intuitive guidance, breathwork, yoga, Reiki, meditation, and ceremonial practice. Much of it began with my own healing, a gradual reconnection with parts of myself that had become difficult to hear or access. In time, it became a way of accompanying others through seasons of change, depletion, discovery, and return.
How I work now
Today, I offer one-on-one and small-group experiences grounded in an integrated approach to mind-body, energy, and spiritual medicine. The work is responsive rather than prescriptive. We begin with what you are experiencing, perhaps a transition, a repeating pattern, a difficult decision, grief, depletion, or a desire for deeper connection and allow the session to respond from there. There is room for conversation and discernment, as well as for what may be felt before it can be fully explained.
My role is to meet you as an equal and bring training, intuition, discernment, and presence to the work. You bring the lived knowledge of your own experience and remain the authority within your life.
The work supports a deeper relationship with your own wisdom and capacity, along with practices you can carry into daily life. It also honors something easily forgotten: caring for ourselves does not have to mean doing everything alone.
At the heart of this work is a return: to connection, to belonging, and to a clearer sense of who you are beneath everything you have learned to carry.
The ground beneath my work
I’ve spent much of my life playing in the dirt—first as a child, then as a geologist. Being close to the earth has always felt like a way of listening. Over the years, that relationship has grown alongside my study and practice of shamanic energy medicine and ceremony, Reiki, yoga, breathwork, meditation, life and health coaching, cacao facilitation, and soul-led spiritual development. All of it informs how I hold space for others: with intuition, curiosity, and a deep trust in what can emerge when we slow down and listen.
