About me

Gender Female
Occupation Therapist & Healer
Location San Francisco, California, United States
Introduction I am your Wonderland tour guide! I help women to navigate the chaos of tumultuous relationships with grace. I help awakening goddesses to find the treasures that lay hidden inside of pain and challenges. I am traditionally educated with my master's degree in counseling psychology/expressive arts therapy from California Institute of Integral Studies. And not so traditionally ordained as a 13 Moon Priestess, and initiated into several healing and mystical paths, including Mayan shamanism, Tibetan Dakini diety yoga and meditation, and Native American ceremony. Recognized early on as a child prodigy with special gifts, I have been developing my personal spiritual practice, as well as my work with others since age 11 through guided imagery and journey work.
