Once, around 14, I had a vision of myself looking at the sky, in response to a so-called friend saying I was unintelligent:

“I’m intelligent, but I have abstract knowledge,” I responded.

Little did I know then, in this vision of myself looking at the sky, that astrology would later become a core language and tool for me to lead myself and my clients into a life of joy and fulfillment. Even in the middle of tension and suffering, I followed the calling toward an artistic path centered on wholeness and beauty. Through many adventures, my trickster side would come out in dance parties and on stage, zapping through or dissolving the hardness of the tensions that had plagued me for so long. Still, I was haunted by arguing philosophies and anxieties in my head, and sometimes the feeling of ‘being unseen’ would follow me… like a younger me trapped in a cage in outer space banging on the glass, aching to land on earth in a place of visibility. 

Luckily, I had my creative imagination, my quest to “figure it all out” and my hunger for a tacit knowledge that would allow me to express my insights from the imaginal realm through my body in performance. These qualities have been like three graces, three helping spirits or ‘helping patterns’. My access to the creative imagination has helped me become clear on my values and know, for me, what makes life worth living. It’s also helped me to take a bigger-picture view, embrace the help of beings from the unseen world, and live my life in devotion to the soul. My quest to “figure it out” has motivated me to find astrology- and, more, the foundation for how I apply the insights of astrology: mythology, archetypal psychology and various streams of Tantra and magick. These became teachings that, to this day, help me navigate tension and duality with grace; teachings that give creative voice to the schisms and the shadow.

My appetite for expressing my insights from the imaginal realm through the body led me into experimental theatre, performance art, and pleasure-centered bodywork. I found my voice through the mythopoetic vocal lineages of Alfred Wolfsohn, Roy Hart and Pantheatre (more on these on the “My Approach” page.) 

These threads have allowed me to live a soulful life, trust my own discernment and follow my intuition. But I didn’t do it all on my own. It took a handful of great mentors, friends and partners asking me “what are you so worried about?!”, And blessing me for my gifts, to realize that the tension I felt was a unique, underlying pattern that invited some exploration, experimentation, levity and creativity. The tension I experienced asked me to study nourishing perspectives and adopt practices that would help me move my energy.
