About the Instructor

I always say that the earth saved me. In fact, I believe it can save just about anyone, no matter what they’re going through. Growing up in Colorado led me to discover my love for the outdoors and how the human body is healed by nature. I learned firsthand the earth's healing power as a young child hiking in the mountains to be with the trees as I recovered from trauma. My connection to the land has carried me through the most challenging times in my life. Helping others in a deep, meaningful way to connect to the medicine of the earth to discover and heal themselves has always been my calling. As a child, time and time again, I was surprised by the ways that natural medicine could cure ailments in ways modern medicine just wasn’t able to do. My passion is teaching you to trust yourself and listen to your inner wisdom and knowing to heal yourself, coupled with the consciousness of the plants to support you. My mission is to empower you to take your health into your own very capable hands. Connecting with the essences of the plants and trees is the best tool for self-healing I have found. Working with these essences offers healing on every level – physically, emotionally and spiritually. By trade, I am a Shamanic Astrologer, WOTE Certified Medicinal Aromatherapist, Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP), Clinical Aromatherapist (CCA), and Certified Nutritionist (CNC). I have worked in the holistic health field for over 20 years and came to the power of aromatherapy through a traditional naturopath with whom I apprenticed 15+ years ago. I incorporate the teachings of the earth and sky in marrying spiritual aromatherapy with shamanic astrology. My practice is based in Aspen, where I embody the local motto of mind, body spirit in my work with clients. I work with people locally and worldwide and teach monthly online New Moon Ceremonial classes incorporating astrology, aromatherapy, and Venus Alchemy, a ceremonial exploration into our divine feminine expressions.
