Domestic Engineer  Our Home is where we eat, where we sleep, where we laugh, where we cry, and most importantly, where we love. There is no more sacred a place, then the one where we rest our bodies and souls. Therefore, it should be treated as such. From corner to corner, the space should be consciously curated in a way that supports rhythm and flow to our lives. Clutter and excessive have no place where organization and order should reign King. Don’t get me wrong…I speak not of rigidity but of freedom. Because when your home becomes fine-tuned with things that are not only purposeful but beautiful, life moves more freely. Which of course makes everything and everybody lighter.

Not to be confused with an interior designer, think of me more as ‘one who makes sense of the space’. From kitchen drawers to kid’s closets, I have an innate ability to distribute things to where they ‘belong’. This specific service requires the involvement of the client in the initial engagement, as we will work together in purging things that are no longer serving you or the surrounding environment. Once the cleanse is complete and I have a understanding on your personal use of the space, I work my magic to create simple order and ultimate flow in the area. Resulting in a sense of peace and tranquility not only throughout all facets of the home, but within the body and mind.

Old Chinese Proverb

When there is light in the soul, there is beauty in the person.

When there is beauty in the person, there is harmony in the home.

When there is harmony in the home, there is honor in the nation.

When there is honor in the nation, there is peace in the world.

Sacred Celebrant  Rites of Passage ceremonies have become a lost art in our modern society. Sure, we celebrate birthdays and anniversaries and graduations but what about the milestones that go unspoken of? Like a girl’s first moon blood. Or the end of a marriage. Or the purchase of a new home. I have found that there are so many small BIG moments that deserve to be honored and acknowledged. A circle to celebrate gives power to the passage, whether it be life or death or simply a shift from the regular. I would love to lead you and your loved ones through sacred ceremony, giving us the opportunity to together, fully embrace and carve space for the transition. Loving what is, good or bad, is the highest form of gratitude. And when we are grateful, regardless of the situation, everything somehow becomes not just okay, but a blessing.

While although I highlighted some non-traditional passages, those more ordinary are equally important to honor. As a Life Celebrant, I am equipped to facilitate anything from a Blessing Way to a Full Moon to a First Menses to a Marriage. No milestone is too big or too small to celebrate. All ceremonies will be individualized to the situation, and will best reflect the client’s innate desires and beliefs.

Wordsmith  Sometimes articulating the words from our head and hearts can be tricky. We know what we think and feel, but we just can’t seem to translate to text. Whether it’s a love note, an apology letter, or simply a blog post, I am here to help you find the pathway to your voice. Through conversation and empathic intuition, I can bridge the gap between what is brewing inside you and the words you cannot seem to grasp hold of. A bridge that will ultimately lead to poetic clarity that is reflective of your inner voice.
