About Me

A woman sitting cross-legged on grass outdoors, surrounded by green foliage, smiling as she looks to her left.

I spent almost ten years working as a professional craftsperson and woodworker. I have always been a spiritual seeker, and my spiritual practice both inspired and sustained my creative work through that time.

In 2024, my woodshop was destroyed in the floods of Hurricane Helene. Through that experience, I knew it was time to pursue work that could address not only the physical aspects of rebuilding from collective loss, but the emotional and spiritual ones too. I went back to school and am currently pursuing a dual Master of Divinity and Master of Social Work from Union Theological Seminary and Columbia University. I am especially interested in spiritual care work, disaster chaplaincy, and unorthodox homiletics.

I am a certified Active Breathwork Facilitator and a DONA-trained Postpartum Doula. I will always be an artist at heart, and my creativity and tactile approach to life shine through the work I do with my clients.

On occasion I still make small batches of handmade wares with wood, clay, textiles, and herbs. You can check out my Craft Shop to see my new work and sign up for my mailing list to stay up to date with my latest offerings.

Marshall, NC is my home.

Education

The most impactful education I have received has come from everyday life: from my parents, siblings, friends, and mentors; from time spent in silence and in nature; from grief, injury, and loss; and from the most ordinary, quiet moments.
