​The pause between breaths. The edge of the forest. The moment between waking and sleeping. These are the places where the busy mind softens and something older begins to speak, through image, symbol, sensation, and story.

 

My roots are in Yoga Nidra, forest bathing, and meditation. As my studies deepened, I became fascinated by the twilight space between waking and sleeping, known as hypnagogia. Here, theta brainwave activity often becomes more prominent, and images, memories, and unexpected connections can begin to surface. This is where I thrive. What I've studied returns to me, alongside a deeper knowing that feels remembered rather than learned. There I connect with my dharma and plug into the Unified Field, which vibrates my next steps into existence. When I rest deeply and connect to the watcher, I begin to see. It was in one of these states that Subconscious Storytelling came to me, and my body knew it was my calling.

​

In my sessions, I offer you a story to rest inside: a black rock warmed by the sun, gray whales moving through deep water, a forest that has been waiting for you. Stories reach places explanations can’t. They slip past our defenses and help us remember what we already know.

​

Mine has been a lunar path, not a linear one. It has wound through yoga, dance, and somatics training in Bali, where I found connection through movement, and ten days of noble silence in Vipassana meditation, where I found connection through stillness. It led me to herding sheep with the Diné on Navajo land, where I knew the deepest rest of my life, nestled into the dirt and memory of a mountain. It led me to an ancient tree in England that called me home, to spice markets in India that taught me to breathe in life’s magical moments, and to prayers drifting across the Nile like a song threaded through the warm night air. Each place taught me something no classroom could.

​

Everything I experience comes through me as story or art. Stained glass was first used to tell stories through pictures, and I carry that tradition forward. I create each piece in partnership with the sun, moon, and stars. As the light shifts, new worlds reveal themselves beyond the glass. There's always more to see, more to discover, more to become.​

​

In every space I hold, I welcome. I witness. I prepare a place where you can wander and wonder, and where you can remember that you are surrounded by magik, and that you yourself are magik.
