Aloha!

I’m a wanderer, a wonderer, fascinated by astrospace and inner space, a curious student of nature and of neuroscience. Perhaps a little bit Daoist and a little bit Animist — and a big bit nonconformist. I’m happiest when I’m ankle-deep in sea water or wrists-deep in forest humus. I have crystals on my bedside table and the Cassiopeia constellation tattooed along my ribcage.

I haven’t always been such a bohemian. I was raised in the South-meets-metropolis of northern Virginia, by two amazing parents who still live in my childhood home. I went to a top-notch university in California, where I earned three degrees in four years (B.S. Cognitive Neuroscience, B.A. French Literature, M.A. Communication), and then followed a well-trodden path to Fortune 50 technology companies in Washington state. But money and patriarchal power just didn’t impress me (and still don’t). I’ve been instead pursuing a feeling: of being whole in myself and in touch with my place in the universe.

It’s taken me a long time to turn up the volume on my — smart, wise — inner voice and turn down the cacophony of “should”s around me. A decade after finishing college, with a solo 7-month circumnavigation of the lower 48 in a van and another graduate degree (MBA) under my belt, I’m a lot closer to living my full expression. Allowing the universe to work through me. Today, in this moment, I am so alive, overflowing with joy :)

As I’ve come to(ward) something that feels like balance in myself, it’s been a natural progression to share what I have to offer with anyone who feels drawn. I moved to Homer (AP, technically) because it “felt like home” in my gut and I started Seawitch the day after I arrived, to my own surprise. I was on a run along the Spit at sunrise and this bit of the map unfolded before me.

I’m humbly grateful for the clear guidance and for the opportunity to bring my gifts to the collective fabric in this way. It is an honor to be here, doing what I do. Living fully. Energized.
