The work I offer today began long before it became my profession.

My father died when I was two years old. In the years that followed, my mother and I moved often and lived without much extended family or shared tradition. There was little rhythm to anchor daily life and no rituals to mark time.

From a young age, I became deeply attuned to the emotional landscapes around me. What began as a way of caring for others eventually became a gift — the ability to sit with people honestly and without urgency.

Becoming a mother marked another turning point. Living in New England brought the seasons back into daily life, and Waldorf education deepened my understanding of rhythm, development, and honoring childhood. Years of body-centered work also taught me the importance of boundaries, responsibility without blame, and listening to the wisdom of the body.

Again and again, I saw that families were not looking for more information. They were longing for space to pause, reflect, and make meaning of what they were living through.

Today, I weave together decades of lived experience, ritual practice, Simplicity Parenting principles, and coaching to support families in honoring life as it unfolds.
