"Who I am" will only truly be known when our paths cross and we are present with each other. Right?

My soul lights up when I am dancing, inspired, having dinner with friends, frolicking in nature, and snuggling, just to name a few...

Here is a short version of my story:

I am a unique soul in a 36 year old female body. I currently have a massage therapy practice on beautiful Lopez Island in Washington. I live in a sweet one room cottage in the forest, across the driveway from the lovely landowners, who graciously rent me their cottage space.

I was born on November 28, 1980 at 1:07pm in Newport, Vermont. The Sun was in Sagittarius, the moon was is Leo and Pisces was rising on that day. For all you astrologers.

I grew up in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont surrounded by forests of pine, maple, and birch trees. What an Amazing place to experience childhood! As a teenager I could not wait to fly from the nest and explore, so I left home after graduation at age 17. I worked, loved, danced, traveled, and attended community college over the next 5 years. I attended the Finger Lakes School of Massage in Ithaca, New York in 2004, thus began my awakening. I moved west to Northern California when I was 28. I worked, loved, danced, traveled, and explored there for 5 years before heading north to Lopez Island, WA. I have worked, loved, danced, and explored here for a little over 2 years.

Maybe we will cross paths someday and be so fortunate, as to see each other truly as we are!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Good question!

I thought I might be brave/adventurous and try couch surfing on some of the trips I have planned for this year.

I do not know if I will have space to host for a little while though, as I live in a tiny one room cottage with no couch.

Everything would need to magically line up for me to say "YES!" to someone sharing my little space with me, but I am not completely ruling it out!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I "woke" up!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to macrame, basic massage skills, basic cooking skills.

I love to learn new things.

I enjoy sharing space and I am an active listener, so I'm sure we will find things to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share me, I guess!

I am a kind, grounded presence, so I can share that with you.

I am a conscious guest.

I can cook, so we can share a meal or two.
