I have a unique lifestyle and living situation, off-grid, dry-cabin not far from Denali National Park, w/ my 2 little boys and their dad. It's beautiful and remote. Been living this way since 2011. But the body is calling. It has great wisdom to share, and so through teaching of Nia, a holistic fitness practice, and health coaching, I am on a journey of awakening others to the wisdom within...while furthering my own awakening. I move and dance and stretch wherever possible. I am also an explorer of the weird and otherworldly, even underworldly. Very interested in plant wisdom.

Love cats. Pet dogs. Smell of sandalwood or lavender usually.

Heroes/Inspiration: Carl Jung, Jim Henson, Remedios Varo, Gabor Mate, Antonio Gaudi, Einstein, Isadora Duncan, Matt Kahn

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flown around Denali (Mt. McKinley) several times. Ziplined through the rainforest of Belize.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could definitely teach you some dance moves, or a whole Nia class which is just so fun easy and magical. Maybe some stress physiology or basic tips on moving through the day w/ less stress. I'll probably have oracle cards. Lots of weird thoughts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Information about the body (see above). Divinatory cards. Good chocolate. Stories of life in Alaskan wilderness.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belize, Canada, Mexico
