My personal practice aims to create a more humane path forward and inspire others to reconnect with the natural world, their intuition, and holistic ways of life. Balancing my immersion in technology with a connection to the unseen, I nurture the threads of spirit, mindfulness, dignity, community care, and the stories of those sharing their knowledge and passion for these topics.

I have a background in film, photography, web design, audio engineering, space holding, and deep listening. I hold a degree in alternative and holistic wellness, I am a certified Reiki Master, and I specialize in cooking for food sensitivities and allergies. Additionally, I explore sound healing, plant care, grief transformation, and ancestral healing. I am passionate about all aspects of holistic living and strive to make them accessible to everyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I care for the landscape I call home with deep presence and reverence for all forms of life. My goal is to create space for healing the split between humans and nature by practicing deep listening and exploring our relationships with the lands that support us in a deeply rooted and respectful manner. My home is a place to reconnect and remember our connections with the natural world. I would like to meet like-minded individuals and offer them refuge on their own journey in cultivating a respectful and loving world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living a life of gratitude. Finding magic in the sacred mundane.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm so grateful for carpentry, garden, and other non-monetary tending help. Please be in touch if you wish to offer your time and skillsets to the landscape's ever-evolving list of tending needs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to share anything I am able. Let me know what you are seeking, needing, wishing for. I particularly enjoy mending and hand stiching clothing.
