As an award-winning mentor with over 35 years of experience bridging people and nature together, I specialize in helping people access their own inner wisdom by finding the deeper meaning of their story through archetypal awareness and nature-based guidance toward living a purposeful life.
Utilizing the Foursongs Wheel of Archetypal Connection, Trilogy Braid of Discovery, Life Tree of Soul, Self, Spirit, and other effective story-based tools, I help you enter into a new perceptive awareness of the relationships you create and gain wisdom in how intense challenges can be navigated with purpose and understanding.
Guiding you toward empowerment through the stages of life.
I offer nature-based guidance to people seeking meaningful and soul-centered empowerment as they navigate the stages of life.
Finding the deeper meaning of your story
Every culture has its myths and stories which imply that undertaking a journey of descent is essential in gaining anything of true value. Yet in contemporary Western cultures, we live as if the descent is no longer a necessary part in gaining what is important to us. This is reflected in many aspects of how humans are now choosing to live out their lives. To keep our ancestral heritage alive, we need to re-member our relationship with the natural world and the ancient connection that has emerged from it
A holistic Eco-Spiritual model that explores symbolic and archetypal significance inherent in the pan-cultural medicine wheel concepts. Drawing on cross-cultural symbolism and the interconnected essence of the sacred circle, this framework facilitates a profound comprehension of the innate patterns we embrace while navigating life's journey. Serving as an archetype-infused template, it is adaptable for healing practices, ceremonial integration, educational applications, and provides soulful connections with the natural world.

“You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential.” - Joseph Campbell
The main reason I got into coaching and guiding was because, while fully struggling and coming through the most challenging and difficult time of my life, I was shown that we really have the potential within us to actually fall upward if we truly believe in ourselves.
Throughout the 35 years of providing award-winning mentorship guidance to thousands of people, I’ve still faced some very challenging times of doubt where it felt like I was at the end of my rope.
There was one particular time a few years ago when I hit a rock-solid wall of overwhelm and anxiety during a major shift in life stages. Among many other things, I was feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands. Relief seemed to be possible through a new very well-paying and influential leadership position. It was receiving a rejection letter from that interview that was the proverbial straw that sent me into a spiral of deep depression and debilitating anxiety attacks that manifested in both mental and physical ways.
In time, after trying to pull myself out of it many times but still struggling, I hired a guide that changed my outlook on things. She guided me toward a deeper understanding of how the problems we face are there to show us some deeper lessons. Through her guidance, I even walked across fire as a means to show myself that I can break through what is holding me down.
Since that powerful time, I’ve come to accept the challenges and really live the journey toward wholeness. Through passing along what was revealed to me and helping guide others to the place of connecting with the world around them, I am greatly rewarded by showing people that we really can fall upward into a better version of ourselves.
