I am passionate about bringing an experience of relaxation, glow and authenticity to our daily lives.

And as I mature I become even more aware of how important it is to remember to intentionally relax, to engage daily gratitude and honor the privilege it is to still be here. Popular culture will do everything in it’s power to convince us that beauty comes in a bottle and we are lacking, but beauty cannot be bought and we are whole. True beauty comes from a combination of intention and attention, commitment to Self, consuming and applying substances rich in life force, connection with nature, proper digestion on every level + an uncompromising understanding that we do not become irrelevant after we turn a certain age, fulfill a certain role or see the deeper lines forming around our lips and eyes.

My wellness journey has taught me that we must treat ourselves with loving kindness to continue to harvest the bounty of beauty, health and longevity. There is a perfect state of balance for each of us that is attainable, sustainable and rich in resources.

Here’s to self love! The active, engaged, hands on, juicy kind *with lots of flowers, butters, balms, oils, herbs, touch and tools thrown in.

A little more about me

Fun Fact 1

I have wanted to open a bath and tea house with my husband since my early 20’s. I feel like I am slowly working towards that reality, but perhaps it’s more of an Ayurvedic spa and tea house.
Fun Fact 2

I wanted to be a famous actress when I was a tween. Not because I loved to act so much as I loved to be pampered. I was sure that having appearance based fame required daily facials and regular spa time!
Fun Fact 3

I live on an organic herb and flower farm in rural Southern coastal Maine. Each season there seems to be more grass growing than herbs and flowers, but every growing season offers a fresh start in New England!

VALUES #1

You are your own true healer. I am honored to guide you to help unlock the knowledge that is your birthright and we all must do our own good work. I consider us equals on the path of self discovery, love and beauty. Let’s walk together.

VALUES #2

The earth is our mother. She provides for us in every way. My experience is that eating her nourishment, using her medicine, walking barefoot on her grass, looking up into the sky that hugs her, brings me home to myself.
