about
coach, educator, dancer, choreographer, intuitive, public speaker, muse, PhD dropout turned life coach, and fellow human doing my best to take down the dominant structures that drown out the wild call of our souls.
I am also white, non-binary, queer, neurodivergent (adhd, hsp), and a solo parent. My ancestors come from Scandanavia and the Celtic regions and were colonizers of the land we call The United States.
​
The wild call of my soul has taken me all over the world, traveling and living overseas. In addition to stages across the United States, I have danced in Australia and on an island in Greece. My purpose is to support other folks to listen to the wild call of their souls and create lives of vitality and meaning.
dance/movement, photography and film, connection to nature, and tarot are all tools we might use to bring forth your wildness and soul-led purpose.
