How I got here
Growing up I was always told about the moon, the stars, fairies in the tall grass and my natural ability to pick up on energies in the room. While I always thought I was a little different than the people around me, I never took it to be anything out of the ordinary. Childhood memories stayed with me as I grew, but I stifled the part of me who was connected to the subtleties of the world, and remained that way until I untangled the person I thought I was. Always connected, but not sure to what. My first Yoga Teacher Training was a catalytic moment in my spiritual growth, I can still feel the lightness in my step that I walked with in that time. It was through Yogic philosophy that I found a sense of understanding, and comfort in the ways of the universe. Energy flows into focus, and every bit of knowledge spilled over into my personal life. I became more aware of myself, and my space in this web of connection - plants, and creatures alike. This experience gave me time and space to find understanding of what I truly needed from myself, it was this that paved the way for the rest of my journey. Naturally, as I grew my practice grew with me and a fascination for Witchcraft was born through appreciation of the organic moments in daily on goings - discovering a sense of ritual in each one. For me the subtle energies carried from herbs, flowers, oils, and crystals brings harmony - a way to naturally balance your energies with the earth. Tarot provided me a new perception, and connected me to whatever it is that’s guiding me down this path. Reiki felt like the fuse of it all, it instilled a sense of trust. Although it wasn’t always simple, and was wildly far from logical It took me to a place of quiet confidence. I was reminded with each session that there’s no harm in moving slowly. The most bewildering things happen gently, and quietly. Cards connect me, Mother nature supports me, Reiki powers me. All of these practices have helped weave together the idea that is myself today, and while nothing is ever one way these beliefs have at least given me some sort of peace within my own little world. Before I found my way to all of these complex and beautiful practices I found reconnection to myself through weight lifting When I found the gym things started to change, Bodybuilding was the first practice I had that taught me to “trust the process”. Finding connection to my body was what saved me from myself, and whether I knew it or not at the time it taught me so many valuable lessons, allowing me to expand into the person I am today. This is where my passion stems from, and I hope along this beautiful journey I can help guide people to their connection - whatever that may be.
The inexplicable feeling to be human, the connection a brief moment brings. Subtle pangs of nostalgia while revisiting the past, or the intimacy of a shared glance, the first breath at the top of a mountain, and the first release after a loss. While the world moves around us so rapidly - earth, air, water, fire - we forget about the still simple and lingering, we forget about Ether. Unseen and unheard, hidden in stillness, it shows itself in the rhythm of the breath, and the softening of the muscles, It is the space between thoughts, and emotions, it is both time and timelessness. Just as we get wildly lost within the physical elements - our external world - we must get lost into the Ether, that is ourselves.
