Ever since I was a child, my mind has been open to the possibility of psychic awareness. I grew up in a family that believed, beyond a shred of doubt, that my great-grandmother was psychic. This belief, so unquestioned and so deeply held, served as a gateway into the mystical.
Though, it wasn’t until I moved to Asheville, NC in 2009 that I really began my spiritual awakening.
Something about these mountains, the crystals within and beneath them, the magick on the air itself, brought me into a state of awareness I had never fathomed before.
I began my work with crystals, meditation, lucid dreaming and astral projection in 2010, and as I often say, that started me down the best slippery slope of all time, leading me to an extraordinary experience while astral projecting, where I was told I was a Starseed. This was a term I was unfamiliar with, and in 2011, the Starseed culture was not nearly as popularized as it is today.
After doing some research, and weeding through the mess, I found myself feeling more at home in that identity than I ever had before. Because of my cosmically-sourced understanding of this concept, I had no idea what a divisive label this would become in the spiritual space
I want to name, now, what I believe to be the truth of being embodied as a Starseed…
At the core of this archetype is the truth that our soul is infinite, unlimited by the confines of one singular lifetime, of humanity, of this body, of this current existence. The experience of being a Starseed can start with a sense of discomfort with being embodied here on earth. Perhaps chasing methods to escape reality, due to the amnesia of birth, so many Starseeds stay asleep to the truth of their highest self.
Awakening to the truth that your soul transcends this lifetime, discovering your soul lineage, and activating your purpose here on earth can be an incredible tool for the journey of self-transformation and actualization.
When I graduated the University of North Carolina at Asheville with distinction in Mass Communication in 2013, I was also gaining momentum in my exploration of wisdom, and beginning to recognize myself as claircognizant and as a powerful energy worker. Though, I was still quite young, and primarily a solitary practitioner.
It wasn’t until 2017 that I began to be fully received by the community, be fully seen in my power, and publicly claim my identity as a magickal being. In 2018, I began offering readings with the Animal Spirit Oracle, and in 2020, the shutdown led to unprecedented breakthrough.
I offered my first online course: Earth Healer – a Reiki certification journey. In tandem, I began supporting a renown astrologer, Virginia Rosenberg, as a visionary virtual assistant, turned business manager and educational administrator for her multi-level intuitive astrology program, Sky Scholar.
I stepped into my power in a way that still surprises me to this day.
In 2023, my debut book Appalachian Witchcraft for Beginners was released, catapulting me into my dream career: author
I have wanted to write books since I learned that it was an option. Ever since I was a child, writing is not just something that I love to do, it is something I must do. I have been an avid reader my entire life, so being able to go to the book shop and see my own book on the shelf is truly the stuff of dreams.
As of December 2025, I am writing my second book - an introduction to intuitive astrology, filled with ritual, meditations, and wisdom to serve you in your daily life, whether you simply want to amplify your manifestations, track with the current transits, or begin your journey in reading natal charts.
Join my substack, INNER ORBIT, to be the first to know when it comes out.
There are many ways to work with me, and you can explore those options here. Or simply shoot me an email, and we can find an offering that suits your needs. I cannot wait to be in connection with you.
