    Astrology holds infinite layers of meaning. Depending on the questions you’re seeking to answer, we focus on different components of your chart to provide clarity, timing, and guidance tailored specifically to you.

    Whether you are looking for foundational insight or strategic timing, each session is designed to meet you where you are.

    First Session

    Our initial session (in person or via video conference) begins with an in-depth exploration of your natal chart — the blueprint of your personality, life themes, gifts, challenges, and evolutionary path.

    This reading provides a foundational understanding of:

    • Core identity and life purpose

    • Inherent strengths and growth edges

    • Relationship insights

    • Career themes

    • Soul lessons and recurring cycles

    We will also briefly review current planetary influences to contextualize where you are now within your larger life story.

    Follow Up Sessions

    Ideal during times of change, decision-making, or personal evolution, including the present moment or what lies ahead.

    We can examine:

    • Current planetary transits - how your chart is interacting with what is going on now- think personalized horoscope or the “astrological weather” influencing your chart

    • Opportunities, challenges, and growth periods

    • Supportive tools for navigating transitions

    We also explore lunar cycles to better understand emotional timing, manifestation windows, and optimal moments to initiate important steps.

    More ways to utilize astrology:

    • Birthday (Solar Return) Reading
      A forecast for your upcoming year — highlighting themes, opportunities, and areas of focus. (Also a meaningful gift.)

      Location Astrology (Astrocartography)
      Insight into places that support love, career, creativity, healing, or expansion — ideal for relocation, travel, or major moves.

      Zodiacal Releasing
      A long-term timing technique that reveals larger life chapters and the unfolding of your destiny over time.

      Synastry
      An exploration of how your chart interacts with another person’s — illuminating compatibility, growth edges, passion points, and karmic themes.

      Electional Astrology
      Identifying auspicious timing for important actions such as launching a business, changing careers, beginning fertility treatments, signing contracts, or submitting proposals.

  • ~ 4 pages | $72

    Receive a thoughtfully prepared PDF report (approximately four pages) highlighting the primary themes and configurations I see in your natal chart.

    This written overview focuses on the core components shaping your personality, gifts, challenges, and growth trajectory — offering insight into how your chart uniquely expresses itself.

    This option is ideal if you:

    • Want to experience my approach to astrology before booking a live session

    • Prefer to reflect and process insights privately and at your own pace

    • Appreciate having a tangible document to revisit over time

    It can also be a meaningful gift. However, because astrology can reveal deeply personal information, I ask that you either receive the recipient’s permission in advance or provide their direct email so the report is delivered respectfully and confidentially.

    Have you ever heard the term energetic hygiene? Curious how energy healing differs from massage? Or perhaps you already know — and you’re ready to go deeper.

    My intention is simple:

    That you leave feeling lighter. Clearer. More grounded. More like yourself.

    Sometimes that shift is immediate. Sometimes it unfolds gently over the next day or two.

    What is Reiki?

    Reiki is a gentle healing practice that supports mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. If massage works with the physical body, Reiki works with the energetic body — the subtle field that influences how we feel, respond, and move through life.

    During a Reiki session, you may experience deep relaxation, emotional release, clarity, or a quiet recalibration of your nervous system. The work is subtle yet powerful, often continuing to integrate in the hours and days that follow. energetic level.

    Distance Reiki

    Reiki can also be sent across distance to support someone who may benefit from energetic clearing, restoration, or upliftment. Whether for yourself or another, distance sessions are held with the same care, focus, and intention.

    Intuitive Healing Addition

    For those who feel open to it, intuitive healing adds another dimension to the session. This approach allows space for deeper energetic insight and guidance to emerge.

    At times, unexpected themes, memories, or awareness can surface — always with the intention of release, alignment, and healing. If you prefer a more traditional Reiki session without intuitive elements, that is always welcome and respected.

    Healing happens in layers. As your energy shifts, your experience of the world shifts with it — often bringing renewed clarity, lightness, and expanded possibility.

    I came into my spiritual awakening later in life. I was already married, had children, and had an established friends network. My spiritual awakening didn’t seem to fit into the life I had already created and the process felt awkward. I found that I was actively seeking input and was eager to talk to others, but I didn’t know where to start.

    This is a good fit for anyone eager for a spiritual conversation, either to add to the context of how to understand life, how to integrate spirituality into daily life or perhaps to bounce thoughts off of someone else. Whatever it is, I am here for you.

    Just as a space gathers dust over time, it can also accumulate stagnant or heavy energy. Environments hold experiences, emotions, and activity — and occasionally, that energetic residue lingers.

    A space clearing session is designed to refresh and rebalance the energy of your home, office, or property. The intention is to restore flow, clarity, and lightness so the space feels supportive, calm, and aligned.

    Clients often notice:

    • A lighter, more breathable atmosphere

    • Improved focus or ease within the space

    • A renewed sense of comfort and groundedness

    • Even subtle shifts in how plants, pets, or people respond

    If something feels off — dense, unsettled, or simply “not quite right” — we can address that too. Whether the work is preventative energetic hygiene or deeper clearing, the goal is the same: to help your space feel clear, harmonious, and truly yours again.

    Feel something spooky? I am here for that too!

    If you’re familiar with the role of a birth doula — someone who offers steady, informed, and compassionate support during the transition into life — an end-of-life doula serves a similar purpose at life’s closing chapter.

    As a trained end-of-life doula through International End of Life Doula Association (INELDA), I provide non-medical, holistic support to individuals and families navigating the dying process. My role is to help create comfort, clarity, and dignity — emotionally, spiritually, and practically.

    Services may include:

    • Presence and companionship

    • Support with legacy or life review work

    • Vigil planning

    • Gentle guidance for family members

    • Creating a peaceful environment

    • Spiritual reflection, if desired

    My own journey into this work began with fear and uncertainty around death. Through study, reflection, and spiritual practice, that fear transformed into a deeper understanding — one that has brought me profound comfort. It is this grounded, compassionate presence that I now offer to others.

    For many, this is unfamiliar territory. I welcome beginning with a conversation to explore your needs, your beliefs, and what kind of support would feel most aligned. Whether you are planning ahead or facing an immediate transition, we can move at a pace that feels steady and respectful.

    The intention is simple: to hold space for this profound threshold with care, calm, and humanity.

    This is new territory for many and I am happy to start off with conversations to understand what might be the right fit.

What others are saying

I am


…a mother, a wife, a daughter, sister, friend, neighbor, and so many other names, nouns and adjectives I identify with. I am a certified practitioner of Usui Reiki and have been studying astrology since before it was cool. I have completed training to be an End of Life Doula and I am also trained as an intuitive. My kids would say my favorite things are brownies and naps. I like cooking overly complex recipes with too few ingredients. My husband is an atheist, so if you have doubts - I get it. I like talking to people about the topics I used to be too scared to talk about. I have a midwestern accent and currently live in California. My sun is in the 8th house, my moon is in the 2nd house of values and my rising is Cancer, so let’s nurture this!

What to expect

REIKI + INTUITIVE HEALING

I am an Usui Reiki master certified practitioner and an intuitive healer. If you’re curious what Reiki is, the easiest explanation is to say it’s like a massage but for your energetic system. Energy is not confined to a space, so like a zoom call, it can be remote while still carrying the message through!

We all carry a lot. We have walls we’ve built, limiting beliefs, leaks and leaches, and maybe some cords that need to be released. We also have some awesome energy and sometimes just need a bit of energetic cleaning. “I feel like myself again” is a common thing to hear after a reiki session.

At the beginning of a session, we can talk about anything you might want to address and it’s also perfectly fine to not indicate anything. The majority of the session will be silent. With your permission, I may shift my hands to different locations on your body -or energetic body if meeting by zoom.

At the end of the session, I will invite you to share anything that came up for you during the session- thoughts, emotions, sensations; and, I will share what came into my awareness.

My goal is for you to walk away feeling lighter, connecting with yourself and quite likely with a pep in your step.

Is this session a healing for someone else? Let me know!

SPACE CLEARING

Ever felt the difference between a space that feels light vs heavy? Have you ever felt like someone was watching you or that you saw something that wasn’t there? Perhaps you have a build up of emotion around something that happened in your house and now you can almost feel that it remains, even though time has passed, or a relative came to stay and you want to ‘washing-machine’ their energy away!

There are so many sources of energetic build up, entities and more. Energetic hygiene is something I believe in both for an individual, as well as for the places we inhabit and in my experience kids can be right that there is a monster under the bed.

If it feels off, let’s clear it. If you simply enjoy a harmonious space, let’s make it. Your space helps you thrive, so lets set you up for success, plants seem to love it too!

Whether it’s a one-off clearing or after every full moon, we can bring in the light back.

ASTROLOGY

Astrology can be used in many ways. My approach is to spend time with your chart prior to gathering to see how the various interactions in your chart tell a story about the challenges, gifts, and growth in your life. Your chart will set the stage for our conversation.

Guided by your chart, I can help validate what you might have already known but may not have stopped to take time to acknowledge or integrate. I can also help identify some themes and what will be important to face head on, or take as an opportunity.

I believe that the integration of our full selves leads to fuller lives and illuminates a creative path. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable, it can also be liberating, inspiring, or a relief.

I have come to deeply appreciate a metaphysical side of life, but I also understand that isn’t for everyone. I am happy to work within an ideology, language and frame of reference that best serves you.

My goal is for you to walk away feeling a deeper connection to your life, interactions within it, and some direction towards your path ahead that honors your full journey.
