My story begins much like yours might…
On the outside, eight years ago I looked like a woman who had it all together—senior leadership role in corporate, six-figure salary, a Pinterest-worthy D.C. condo, constant travel, a full social life, yoga, running, dating… the whole polished highlight reel.
A lot of it was good, and real. But a lot of other stuff was falling apart underneath the surface…
After a traumatic breakup in my late 20s, the grounded, joyful, confident woman I once was disappeared. In her place came shame, self-blame, codependency, perfectionism, and a deep, aching anxiety that I kept carefully hidden under productivity and achievement.
My health also started to deteriorate. I faced debilitating back pain, pelvic issues, severe mood and physical swings due to perimenopause, hair loss, fatigue, brain fog and more.
As my emotional world contracted, so did my physical resilience. I found myself dealing with:
debilitating back pain
pelvic issues
severe perimenopause symptoms
dramatic mood swings
hair loss
crushing fatigue
brain fog
nervous system dysregulation
adrenal depletion
alcohol and caffeine abuse
emotional eating to numb out
I didn’t recognize myself—mentally, physically, or spiritually.
I went to therapy for nearly a decade—helpful, yes—as well as a slew of health practitioners, but talking and handfuls of supplements weren’t truly shifting anything inside me. I needed something deeper, more embodied, more intuitive. Something that could reach the parts of me that logic alone couldn’t touch.
And that’s when everything began to change.
I went—reluctantly, skeptically—through a spiritual awakening.
Slowly, inconveniently, and with plenty of eye-rolling, I discovered truths I absolutely did not set out to find:
Magic is real.
Energy is real.
Healing happens through the body, not just the mind.
Nature has a consciousness that wants to support us.
There is a sacred web of guidance available at all times.
…and yes, something was definitely communicating with me through my Tarot deck.
From that moment of “Holy shit, Tarot is REAL,” life expanded. I became a Reiki I/II practitioner, a feng shui consultant, an energy worker, and a space clearer. I learned to partner with cycles, intuition, spirit guides, and nature in ways my old corporate self would have found both hilarious and horrifying.
And yet—it wasn’t the whole story.
Because while my spiritual awakening cracked me open, it didn’t fix my health.
My body needed me too.
The missing piece was my sensitive body
—my nervous system, hormones, and physiology as a neurodivergent, highly sensitive woman.
As I moved into my late 30s and early 40s, my symptoms worsened. Perimenopause hit like a freight train. My adrenals were depleted, my blood sugar unstable, my sleep erratic, my hair thinning. I had the spiritual tools… but I didn’t have the physical capacity to feel like myself.
So I dove into nervous system science, functional nutrition, and holistic health—specific to the sensitive, neurodivergent body. I became trained as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and began my certification as a Functional Health Coach through the Nutritional Therapy Association.
I learned how to support the unique physiology of the HSP: the tendency toward adrenal fatigue, inflammation, burnout, hormonal chaos, and blood sugar dysregulation.
I healed my nervous system.
I got sober from alcohol and coffee.
I rebuilt my energy from the ground up.
I stabilized my hormones.
My hair stopped falling out.
My brain fog lifted.
My mood returned.
My intuition sharpened.
And now, at 46, I feel more energized, grounded, and well than I did at 36.
My health, my magic, and my sensitivity were never separate.
They were always one ecosystem.
My healing became a braid of spirituality, science, intuition, embodiment, nourishment, nervous system repair, mindset work, and simple daily rituals.
And that is what I teach now.
Today, I’m a:
holistic life, spiritual and health coach for sensitive, neurodivergent women
Nutritional Therapy Practitioner
spiritual mentor
Reiki practitioner
feng shui consultant
advocate of and mentor for microdosing psilocybin
intuitive, Tarot reader, and energy worker
advocate for liberation, rest, nature, and self-trust
I support women who feel deeply and think deeply—women who are overstimulated, burned out, hormonally overwhelmed, spiritually curious, and ready to live from their intuition instead of fear.
My mission? Help sensitive souls reclaim their health, intuition, energy, and magic.
I guide sensitive souls to thrive and flourish through intuitive wellness, mindful nourishment, and spiritual connection.
I teach healing that is holistic, embodied, simple, grounded, magical, sensitive-friendly, spiritually supportive, and neurologically informed.
No complicated spells.
No fear-based mysticism.
No 27-step protocols.
No restrictive diets.
No hyperproductive wellness dogma.
Just the real, accessible, intuitive magic of being a sensitive human on a healing path.
Now, I empower sensitive souls with spirituality and wellness
Today, I am passionate about empowering sensitive souls (empaths, Highly Sensitive People, folks with ADHD and/or autism, and neurodivergents) with accessible, practical magical tools, nutritional guidance, modern rituals, and tangible nature-based practices to help with their personal growth and physical healing, and to help the world at large as well.
I live and work in so-called Loudoun County, in Virginia. The land that became Loudoun was uncharted wilderness inhabited by Sioux (Manahoac), Algonquin, Iroquois and Piscataway Indians. I honor these tribes and people, past and present, who have and continue to tend this land long before it was colonized. I am committed to listening to, uplifting, and protecting BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ communities.

A bit more about me…
My undergraduate degree is with honors in English Literature from the University of Virginia (wahoowah!), where I was an Echols Scholar, and I have a Master of Science in Journalism from Northwestern University, where I was a recipient of the first-ever McCormick Scholarship and was named student of the year.
I’m an aunt to nine beautiful souls; a resident of western Virginia, where I live in a 300-year-old log cabin that I call the Nature Witch Cottage with my husband AJ, who’s a writer; a voracious reader of everything from personal development books to romance novels (my library holds list and Kindle purchasing history are probably breaking algorithms as we speak); a podcast host; a regular walker and hiker; and a compassionate, highly-sensitive and intuitive person who is both bold and vulnerable.
I’m a writer at heart and I have a book forthcoming with Hay House on Tarot for people-pleasers and perfectionists. I bring this talent to my coaching through helping you reclaim your own magic, your own narratives and learn how to tell your own stories of your life. Because — in case you didn’t know — that’s absolutely something you can do.
