My Story
There is no real knowing when the story begins. For simplicity purposes, I’ll start here.
My inspiration.
Lessons from Spirit Grandmother.
~The unadulterated minds, are the minds of our future. The ones that can imagine a world which is different, from how we see it now. The eyes of the closed will learn how to feel, while the minds of the open will know without thought. In shape of thought, many things beyond this exists in the unspoken. The power is not in the words, but in the silence of now.
My love for introspection, is what dives me into Chinese Medicine, and being with the beautiful Ways of Tao. After 25 years of immersive studying, I feel very fulfilled. I understand, within my own mind, the realms of infinity and the healing nature of its continuum. The philosophy of Carl Jung and Alan Watts speak the language so eloquently to the art of my being, as I sense the space between the luminous threads that animate this life into existence. Within the core of my being, I have the intellectual desire to explore a scholars understandings of energy, in how it speaks-moves & manifests- in the body. (Call it human, or call it- earth. Destiny!)
Clear wind of Heirloom Esoteric Arts and Primordial Wisdoms have been offered down to me, through the (in)formal initiations of visionary medicine. The age was eight, when I first saw myself within another life. By the time I was 20, I had full access to my ethereal body, and was taught the skills of awakening memory. The practice of these lessons came through the hands and words of energy master and teacher Dan Retuta, as I was attending CHAC, in Crestone, CO.
The sense of my knowing propelled me into the studies of cultural ceremonies and spiritually focused communities, where I practiced my way through 1000’s of hours of dance, guided meditation, yoga, ritual, and guru Hanuman native tribe foreign land love making lectures and sermons. Every ounce of myself was invested, and I devoured the opportunity as a young curious vibrant adult.
For 8 years of immersive self-study and spiritual growth- I was also inspired by the “lifestyle” of natural living. With the land I connected very deeply, and my life was enriched with learning how to survive, thrive and grow my own babies into being without the means of most modern conveniences. Today, as I’m writing this- I have to laugh as it’s taking me almost two years to finish and launch this website. Living modestly and simply means everything to me, as the quality of life exceeds all common expectations.
The process of my personal work has sequentially lead me to the path of studying Natural Medicine. For each phase of my life, I have found the passions of interests to be healing modalities. To not trust the formalities of dance, would also toss away the medicine of osteopathy. As if the theories of consciousness didn’t have a connection, or a means of purpose. Fortunately, the thread of my passions has secured me to my dreams, and here they are weaving together with Armadillo Moon!
As my academic interests continue to develop, so does the magic. Energy, like magic is really illusive and such a mystery. If I were to tell my whole story here, I could offer countless of recalls to when I saw, felt or heard something that “wasn’t there”. In most cases, I never question myself- but, it’s only been in recent years where I’ve noticed a shift- or a stronger sense of “something more” coming through.
The experience of my work has been such a puzzle to unravel in my mind, as it touches in the metaphysical. I am often brought to a place of awe while the belief of my understandings are notably confirmed through the channel of (visceral) listening. Within the energetic fields of our bodies, we carry the imprints of our stories. These stories welcome me to hear them. With an open heart, and sensitive hands- I offer my interpretations.
There’s a great sense of peace hiding in the unspoken, as it obtains a world of knowledge. I enjoy questions like- Why are we, who we say we are? And, how does this all relate outwardly? In the pure sense of curiosity- I have many side passions for exploring the realities of our world, and find the reflective nature of humanity incredibly fascinating. On the flip side of energy work, I relish in the expansiveness of human biology and crave to understand the pathologies which come to life within the mind and body. The subjects of matter, energy, and time feed my brain mouth so good. What would I be if I was awareness? (Quantum Somatics. For more on all this- please check back in.)
Professionally I am committed to mastering the art of listening with an open awareness, while developing a broad spectrum of wholistic practices for sustained health and spiritual wellbeing. The commitment to this journey began in 2001, and solidified in 2020 when I felt a deeper calling.
My story begins to grow very personal here, and I struggle with how best to offer this piece of the tale~ as this was also the time when everything in my being fell broken open while my world swirled into the motion of great change. I humbly balance between being very honest and very careful with my words- I cherish this life and have deep value for its passing, as it has shaped me into a being who feels boundless in love and strong with healing intention. Forever, I will be grateful.
From within my story, I own the lessons of psychological, emotional, sexual and spiritual trauma. Clinically, I am labeled as a survivor of an act of extreme domestic violence, and have all the symptoms of being chronically abused. In light of of ever evolving self -growth, my personal practice revolves around compassion, forgiveness, acceptance, and truth- and- this is what keeps me anchored to exploring the ways we “learn” and heal.
Most of what shines out from my experience is the alchemy of transcendence. In all the ways, I believe greatness comes when the world of blame lays down its sword and welcomes in unconditional love. I am committed.
With each new day, I find contentment through the process of meditating, writing, dancing, studying, and feeling my way through the swells of being human. I feel all the grief and pain, while simultaneously experiencing praise and bliss. In connection to all I’ve been offered is becoming, and I have such a passion for the beauty it grows.
Forevermore, I will say I am an artist, dancing her truth in all the wyldness of this precious blooming life. In and out of folds, there is light-there is death and I bow to the practice of discovery.
Many Blessings, and thank you for reading. My hope is I can somehow offer support for the inevitable. Or, create a means for change- in how we relate~

Current Sensations:
Spring has just sprung, and the equinox of balance has me feeling all spruced up. There within my bones, I have also felt a deep resonance with something within the earth, as if the pulse of its core resonated with my own. Inside my knowing, there was a message ~we the people are no longer in charge. It’s been two years and two weeks to the day, of ignite. 4/1/2025, is today.
Today, I sense a little wobble. Even my kitty, is feeling a little frisky. Also, I caught him twice almost falling off the table.
In this wobble, there has to be a shift. A level up. Or, a level down. Like a DNA strand, even vibration has two sounds- the resonance hit its mark two days ago- and like a clap, there is silence.
Today in the wobble, find your wave and ride it hard. Shoot your way through the collapsing tunnel, as if you were on your way to the moon. Only, you are here- in the garden, and the moon is in your heart.
Move slow and intentionally today. Reduce your consumption of intake. Try to time a breath or two, with the wind.
