WHY WORK WITH ME?

  • My work is a combination of mindset, strategy and ethics. The methods I use are informed by my academic studies, specialized trainings, ongoing independent research, working alongside reputable mentors, insights gathered from supporting hundreds of people globally, as well as invaluable lessons collected from my own personal and professional experiences.

  • My general approach honors all aspects of the human experience - with a focus on self-discovery, personal development, embracing intellectual diversity, self-accountability, leading with curiosity and compassion, cultivating a growth mindset (using a variety of tools, including evidence-based methods), and getting you back in the driver’s seat.

    One of the things that gives me an edge is my degree in Linguistics and English. This makes me an expert (Read: Nerd) with languages and their mechanics.

    I have spent years studying language form, patterns, meaning, and context. Because of this I am well equipped to notice the overarching patterns going on in your birth chart, and am able to interpret the complex language of the stars in return.

    I have worked for, trained, and studied with Debra Silverman and her Astrology school, which is where I now teach and mentor students using her Applied Astrology Method.

    Combined with my teaching experience, I am able to translate the wisdom of Astrology in a simple way that allows you to absorb the information without the confusion and headache.

    With my genuine delivery, I have been described as relatable and practical, as well as grounding and comfortable to talk to.

    When you speak with me you’ll feel my optimism, curiosity, and grounded realism in my approach with these elusive and abstract concepts, like spirituality and metaphysics.

    My varied personal and professional experiences, and authentic demeanor provide me the way-showing wisdom to help you broaden your perspective and dissolve limiting beliefs.

HOW I APPROACH MY ASTROLOGY WORK

“You are not what happens to you, you are what you make of it.”

My method and the way I use astrology might not be how you're used to. I prefer to take a multi-lens perspective when interpreting the stars and the world we live in. By weaving in multiple zodiac systems with other philosophical and spiritual frameworks, I help provide a more wholistic point of view.

While there are a number of influential points within your birth chart that I draw on, my main focus is on the evolutionary and transformational markers. This allows me to pull out the themes and lessons you’re here to learn, as well as identify what your soul aspires to evolve into in this lifetime.

Next, I pair this information with integrative tools and practices to help you ground this newfound awareness in a realistic and tangible way. This gives you the necessary room to grow in the direction of your soul’s promise.

While I love to hold space for the deep stuff, I also keep it light and playful so we can navigate the uncomfortable aspects of ourselves without being blocked by avoidance, resistance, or detachment.


My intention is to help you befriend your challenges, by realizing that it can act as a potential gateway to spirituality. Ultimately, I am here to help you deepen your relationship with your own innate wisdom.

Most importantly,

I am interested in teaching people to do this work for themselves.

“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day…

…Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”

I believe it is important for you (as an individual) to self-resource and come into greater trust with your own inner knowing. You can then take direction from that space, rather than depending on my perspective.

I am here to be a hand to hold and a sounding board, but my ultimate intention is for you, as my client, to develop your own ability to gain clarity before taking action.

This is why I do not prefer to offer one-off 1:1 personal consultations. I prefer to take a deeper dive with you over an extended period of time via my mentoring and guidance offerings. Though, if you are new to astrology and spirituality, then I do offer single 1:1 sessions for you to discover the potential impact it can have on your life.

I weave together a number of systems & tools:

  • Esoteric & Metaphysical teachings,

  • Embodiment practices,

  • Emotional & Somatic processing,

  • Jungian psychology,

  • Philosophy (western & eastern), etc.

  • Astrology,

  • Human Design,

  • Gene Keys,

  • Grief work,

  • Ancestral & lineage exploration,

  • Neurobiology,


MY CORE VALUES

integrity | transparency | humility | self-responsibility | curiosity | self-accountability and most importantly: respect
