We are in service to women thriving on earth. To living in reciprocity, balance, and harmony with all the cycles and forces of nature.

We were born into a culture of uninitiated women, yet it is our birthright to step fully into our wholeness.
Traditionally, rites of passage were honored within communities from birth to death. However, as we’ve moved away from communal living into a more isolated existence, our connection to the divine within has slowly eroded.
As a Rites of Passage Celebrant and Multi-Generational Space holder, I believe the way forward lies in reclaiming what has been forgotten.
Through celebration and remembrance, by walking alongside those who are aligned with the vision of healing the sister wound and honoring our sacred thresholds, we rediscover our innate power.
My life as a mother, auntie, sister, and woman has naturally led me to this work. The path I’ve walked as a yoga teacher, space holder, and doula has woven the tapestry from which this offering arises.
The profound experiences of both loss and birth through the portal of my womb have reminded me of the vital importance of women’s work—to dive deeply into the feminine, to witness, heal, and remember. Together, we can forge a new earth, one rooted in alignment with the laws of nature, coexisting harmoniously with all beings and with our Pachamama.

I am here to be a part of the remembering and revolution. Where life on earth is lived in reciprocity, a forever giving loop of love. I believe in a depth of belonging that can only arise from the knowing that you are supported and loved in every step and every breath by all the unseen and seen forces of life. My gift is to weave you, other women, and all we share this earth walk with, back together with a golden thread of deep unconditional love.
I was brought to my work as a Shamanic Practitioner through the death of my beloved father at the age of 21.
He died rather suddenly, and my raw and wild grief kept him stuck in between worlds, in what I now know as death village. His spirit stayed close and I spent more time in his realm than my own, and became very sick. I had lost 20 pounds and was down to almost 90. I was barely here, floating above my body, near and far. A reckoning came in a sweat lodge and I saw what would become of me if I stayed on the path I was on. I prayed harder than I’ve ever prayed for him to be set free. That I was ready for him to go. At that very moment a powerful wind came and ripped the blankets off the lodge. We ended the round and I went outside and layed on the earth, drenched in sweet rain. My moon blood came back at that moment after years of its absence. Through this journey I learned how to communicate with spirits and discern what they need to find peace.
After this experience I prayed for a teacher. I was blessed to find Sierra McFeeters in Woodbury Vermont~ just over the mountain from me.
Sierra believes that all people have shamanic roots, and her gift is to connect people to the teachings that will empower them to be on earth in a good way. She shares her life story and how these teachings were passed down to her on her website, here. My apprenticeship with her brought me back to earth and rewarded me with true belonging. Her mentorship gave me the integrity I didn’t know I was seeking to be able to do this work beyond the walls of my bedroom.
To me the deepest wound of colonization is the belief that we are alone in this world. My gift is to connect people to their army of angels. To the four leggeds, winged ones, mycelium, stone beings, standing ones, swimming ones, other two leggeds, and all we share this precious earthwalk with. To aid you in finding your core holy belonging, your connection to our original mother. To remind me you are never alone, and that you are loved beyond belief.
“Salka is a Quechua word that Don Americo translates as ‘undomesticated energy’. No matter how ‘domesticated’ we may have become we all have a sense of this wildness within us– a freedom that is the essence of creation. When we speak of salka, we are speaking of a powder derived from beauty, aliveness, grace, and a readiness to encounter life with our whole being.”
