Born in New York City, my life took an unexpected shift I when I arrived in the holy land of Canaan in August 2013 to study Arabic. With a budding career in social-justice oriented politics and journalism, I left the US for what I thought would be 6 months to study and connect first hand to the realties of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

​

Completely to my surprise, this land had other plans for me, and very soon I found myself awakening,  thrust into the path of my deep healing journey.  Living close to the land for the first time in my life, I was  introduced to the worlds of plant medicine, shamanism, sacred music, conscious sexuality and feminine awakening.

​

​

Suddenly I found deep belonging, connection and an unwinding path of deepening self-acceptance. 

​

​

This was a relief, a soothing, to my inner being who for years and years experienced a fundamental loneliness and not-enoughness. Connection with the magic of the cosmos, a longing suppressed from childhood, also began to reveal itself to me.

​

As my journey evolved, I joined the unique community of Israelis and Palestinians doing ecological peace work in the Jericho desert. During this period, I experienced new heights of love and connection, truly miraculous moments of deep peace, and yet I also experienced sexual  violence, and the destruction of my naivety. It was there where I was initiated into the gate of Trauma. 

 

Slowly slowly, through this initiation I began to heal developmental wounds and trauma, further returning to myself. In the process, I studied a wide spectrum of somatic & spiritual disciplines. I dove into sexuality, sensuality, feminine embodiment,  trauma & the nervous system, movement, wholistic psychology & holistic healing. I discovered the wisdom of my body, the power of stored unconscious memory, emotion and experience.  

 

Incredibly, I discovered my ability to connect with the mystery through my female cyclical nature, my womb, my sex and my heart. This wisdom continues to blow me away day after day.

​

In my journey I've healed myself from chronic yeast infections, UTI, sexual trauma and debilitating anxiety.   

 

 11+ years later, still traveling , I let go of journalism, but I’m still committed to the cause that led me here. 

 

Today, I dedicate myself to spiritual somatic transformation as personal & collective-liberation work.  I immerse myself in the overlap of personal and societal, of spiritual and material, sacred and mundane. 

​​

 I couldn’t be more excited that this is where life has taken me. I remain in awe and gratitude that this is the life I’ve created.
