My work began over twenty years ago with my first brick-and-mortar business in the San Francisco Bay Area, an integral healing center and community space devoted to women’s wellbeing, transformation, and connection.
It was there, sitting with women day after day in intimate circles, conversations, workshops, and healing spaces, that my signature work, The Practice, was born.
Not from theory, but from witnessing women up close and personal.
Witnessing their grief, longing, awakening, reinvention, heartbreak, becoming, and deep desire to return to themselves.
Over the years, I have built both brick-and-mortar healing spaces and online communities, led thousands of women through my signature offering The Practice, facilitated transformational groups and retreats, and devoted my life to creating spaces where women feel deeply seen, safe, connected, and remembered.
I am also an ordained Priestess through the 13 Moon Mystery School, a lineage that deeply shaped my understanding of feminine initiation, sacred leadership, ritual, and community.
My latest project is Her Sanctuary, a ceremonial lounge and sacred feminine temple space devoted to gathering, transformation, ritual, and belonging.
I believe we are living in a time of profound collective change, disconnection, and technological acceleration, and that intimate, sacred community spaces are part of the medicine women are longing for.
We need places to gather.
Places to slow down.
Places to grieve.
Places to celebrate.
Places to remember who we truly are.
My work is devoted to supporting women at the threshold of their becoming, and to helping women create meaningful, community-centered spaces of their own around the world.
A six-month private mentorship and rite of passage journey for women standing at the edge of change.
There are moments in a woman’s life when the old ways no longer fit and suddenly, she finds herself standing at a crossroad.
No longer who she once was.
Not yet fully who she is becoming.
This is the sacred space in-between. The threshold.
You are standing at the edge of transformation.
There is an ache in your body and your soul telling you it is time.
You can no longer ignore the truth calling you forward.
You are ready to surrender to the unknown.
Ready to let an old version of yourself die.
Ready to stop abandoning what you know deep down is real.
How long have you been ignoring your truth?
How long has your body been asking you to listen?
You are here because you are finally ready to face what is real.
And somewhere deep inside, you already know:
There is liberation on the other side.
This is intimate, transformational mentorship rooted in emotional honesty, feminine wisdom, ceremony, nervous system healing, embodiment, and deep personal devotion.
A space where every part of you is welcome.
A space to unravel.
A space to remember.
A space to become.
Your body.
Your relationship.
Your health.
Your career.
Your business.
Your truth.
Nothing is off the table.
Each mentorship journey is deeply personalized and shaped around the season of life you are moving through.
This work includes private mentorship sessions, personalized support, practices, reflections, and ceremonial guidance woven throughout our time together.
The Threshold is not about fixing yourself.
It is about becoming deeply anchored within yourself as you cross into the next chapter of your life.
Whole.
Grounded.
Clear.
Connected to your own knowing once again..

Whether you are opening a brick-and-mortar space, growing an online membership, leading retreats, facilitating circles, or building a body of work rooted in healing and connection, this work is designed to support both the vision and the woman behind it.
Together, we bridge the practical and the sacred.

Wanting support with leadership, structure, sustainability, visibility, and growth
This work is rooted in lived experience, emotional intelligence, authentic leadership, and building spaces that truly nourish both the people inside them and the woman leading them.
My journey has woven between brick-and-mortar businesses, online communities, sanctuary spaces, Airbnb retreats, marketing, and entrepreneurship. Each chapter has taught me something new about building spaces where people feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow.

Some of my favorite moments happen with a microphone in my hand and a room full of women. Whether I'm speaking at a retreat, conference, podcast, or online gathering, I love creating conversations that are honest, inspiring, and deeply rooted in what it means to be a woman during these transformational times.
I created Her Sanctuary because I believe every woman deserves a place to return to, a place where she feels seen, supported, and deeply connected. Located in Portland, Oregon, Her Sanctuary is a modern temple and home to a growing community of women gathering each week for ceremony, sisterhood, and the sacred work of becoming.
I am so honored you are here. I would love to connect and see how I can support you.
