I am a mother, a writer & artist, educator & facilitator, activist & gardener, a chef & recipe-designer, among so many other things. I am an East Coast transplant living in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. My work and advocacy is driven by shared triumphs and mistakes in my own life spent juggling and thriving in motherhood, writing, cooking, teaching, and creativity. I strive to help others realize there is a way to balanced footing where we each shine best and live our lives to their potential with the complexities of joy and challenge. Though this is all quite impossible to achieve on our very own,

working together creates change, both personally and globally.

I look forward to what we create together, and with deep love along the way, always.
