My values

​

• Freedom of Speech

I’m an empathetic listener. My role is not to judge, police, or change your views, but to hold them as one aspect of you that helps me to better understand the whole. I aim to model the acceptance that I want to see more of in the world. 

• Freedom of Emotion

There's no such thing as wallowing or blaming or negativity or 'victim mentality' here- everything is allowed, everything provides valuable information. Does this mean I encourage you to stay in patterns that are limiting and uncomfortable? No. It means that the way to the other side is through accepting and listening to these challenging voices- not through rejecting them.

​

The path to radically accepting yourself requires first accepting all parts of yourself. 

• Space Holding & Empowerment

Only you can heal yourself, only you can transform your life. I won’t take that away from you, As someone who knows this path well, I'll share my insight, while also empowering you to be your own best healer.  Take what works for you and leave the rest.

​

• Nature's Superior Wisdom

Nature is smarter than us in every way- her rhythms and complex sets of interwoven balances and counterbalances, in her astounding diversity. When we get blinded by our own cleverness we create problems. But there's no problem that can't be solved by watching and learning from Nature.

​

• Working Outside the System

There are incredible people and hacks within the system, and there are incredible people and hacks outside of the system. What I've found in my own life is that finding the right person for you has little do with their qualifications- and everything to do with where they've been and where they're going.

​

I've studied Traditional Western Herbalism, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, trauma and the nervous system, indigenous birthing and postpartum traditions, and gentle parenting. I've homebirthed and homeschooled and rewilded. I've never wanted to become an expert in any single field- for me it's all been about collecting pieces of the puzzle of what's wrong with humanity. Where did we get off the track our distant, healthy ancestors laid out for us and how do we get back on? This, I hope, illustrates why we need people working outside of the system just as much as we need the people within it.

​

However, if you aren't comfortable working with someone without letters after their name, then I'm not the person for you.
