this world is full of magic if you know where to look

I grew up a fairy child of the land, raised by two moms on three acres in Mendocino County, California.  I was naturally creative, writing and drawing and dancing and living in a magical world of imagination and play.  I remember the feeling of innate connection to the land, to my family and community, and to my own wild self.

Somewhere along the line, that free spirit got lost . It felt like the weight of the world collided with my heart.  I disconnected, numbed out, and forgot who I really was.  I spent a long time in cycles of trauma and addiction.  The last ten years of my life has been a steady, spiraling process of remembering and reclaiming.  Slowly but surely, I have been remembering my connection to myself, to my creativity, to my body, and to the land, and reclaiming the sacred, powerful and creative magic that lives within.

remember who you are

These days, I’m multi-passionate wild woman on a mission to awaken creativity and aliveness in myself and others.  I want us to break free from the bullshit conditioning that keeps us small. I want us to release the limiting stories we’ve believed about ourselves for too long.  I want us to express what is true and vital and life-giving. I want us to create new ways of being that honor the fullness of our humanity, rooted in love, sustainability, and joy. 

AWAKEN CREATIVITY AND ALIVENESS

the path is a spiral



I have studied writing, art, and design throughout my life in various contexts.  A creative at heart and an education specialist by training, I spent several years working in public schools before reclaiming my creative roots as an writer, artist, and designer. 

I founded my web design and copywriting business, Moon Seeds Studio, in 2022.

I have a B.A. in History & History of Art and Visual Culture from UC Santa Cruz (2010), and an Education Specialist credential from CSU Sacramento (2017).

I have studied creative and sacred arts with several incredible teachers over the last decade, including Dr. Vanessa Sage, PhD, Dr. Athena Perrakis, PhD, Pixie Lighthorse, and Jessica Zinchuk.
