I’m an artist, counselling evolutionary astrologer, guide and educator with over a decade of experience in the creative and spiritual fields. I’ve been a practicing astrologer since 2022, having received my training through the Forrest Center for Evolutionary Astrology.
I have always had a strong orientation toward freedom and forging my own path. At 17, I left the shores of Aotearoa, New Zealand and headed north on an ocean sailing voyage that spanned over seven years. That journey eventually evolved into a colourful life in the creative arts, mentorship, guidance, and astrology. I am forever a student of life, and much of my learning has come through direct experience — through trial, error, exploration, and lived experience. This is the place I guide others from.
My work weaves together astrology, depth psychology, embodiment, and intuitive guidance for those on the path of self-knowledge and transformation. Much of my work supports people in returning to themselves — unravelling external conditioning, deepening self-trust, and living more consciously and authentically. I am particularly interested in the process of individuation — the integration of unconscious material into greater wholeness and self-awareness. I believe healing and whole-making are found in returning and attuning to nature’s intelligence — to what is real and true — earth, body, and celestial rhythms.
I also grow organic garlic with my beloved in the Columbia River Gorge.
Thank you for being here.
