As an earth-based young woman, it seemed like I had it all.

I birthed a little family in a solar home in community out in the woods.

The papers hailed me  my wildcrafting potent herbal medicines for women's health.

I quickly became a leader in my field—known as a force of nature, leaving legacies in my wake.

Yet long after I learned to nourish the body, parts of my soul were still starving.

Inside, I was a hot mess. 

Caught in old wounds and traumas, harmful patterns, and painful relationships.

Exhaustion my constant companion. Stress-induced illnesses popping up.

The only place I felt safe was out in nature.

Even in intentional community, I was alone and lonely. My temper short. My mind unraveling. 

I sank down in despair.

My scream pierced the wall. A neighbor rushed to my door.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.” She doubtfully backed away, unconvinced. I shut the door. 

Today's paradigm of self-denial and spiritual bypassing runs deep—and I'd learned it well.

"Just keep pushing through," I told myself. "What's your problem? Get over it already—all that old fear, anger, jealousy, Just think good thoughts!"

Yet there's no denying the body. My marriage in shambles, soon I was drifting between sleeping and waking, living and dying. Pneumonia so deep in my lungs that no herbs could reach.

It’s time, I declared under my breath. Self-denial isn't working. The nourishment and safety I find in nature—I have to find that within myself. 

I set out on a quest to go deeper, to the roots of healing…

I created space to rest and to heal. To think and to feel.

I grieved. I sorted. I self-mapped my internal landscape—reflected by the cycles of nature.

Ultimately, I synthesized feminist psychology with neurobiology, through an earth-based, woman-centered lens. Grounded in the wisdom of my most trusted mentor, nature herself.

With the tools I developed, to my delight, I got “un-confused.” Clear. Grounded. Replenished.

Reclaiming my capacity to love and be loved. Cultivating secure bond with my life partner. Whole and safe within myself.

With healthy boundaries. Authentic intimacy. Meaningful priorities.

Now I've witnessed similar transformations in countless students—women of all walks of life.

Whether young or old, black or white, straight or lesbian. Many healers themselves: herbalists, doctors, midwives, therapists, leaders in their communities.

All finding, at last, clarity on how to discern what's healthy for their heart and soul. 

I'd love to show you how to engage your connection with the Earth as your inner compass. The wise woman way.

Together, we'll navigate your road home to yourself. You'll gain practical, accessible tools and techniques crafted by, for, and about women. 

Think of it as a medicine chest for your mind, heart, and soul.
