Curl Into Your Soft-Lit Nest of Soul-Restoring Stories

Here, words rest like lanterns in a field — keeping you company through the dark and guiding you toward what’s next.

Step into a space crafted just for you — where words become bridges to the Divine, and where storytelling itself can be a source of healing and renewal.

This work is born from a lifelong love of writing. I turned to words first as a young journal keeper finding solace on the page, then as a journalist and editor shaping stories for newspapers and magazines.

But it was my decade-long apprenticeship in the Andean mystical tradition that changed everything. Walking with the sun, the winds, the earth, the waters, and the moon, I cultivated a deeper, more intimate relationship with the natural world and the unseen. That relationship carried me through years of profound transformation, immense challenges, and ultimately into renewal.

My work is also rooted in 18 years as a psychotherapist, experiences that taught me how to walk with people through the most tender thresholds of their lives. These lessons continue to shape the stories and healing invitations I offer here.

These stories are not handed down from on high — they are companions for your own journey, invitations to pause, breathe, and remember that your life itself carries medicine.

Heal Through Stories

Explore the series:

  • Talking Trees — parables and teachings from the voices of the forest. Listen when you need comfort, perspective, or a reminder that you belong to something greater.

  • The Awkward Mystic — essays about stumbling, laughing, and learning on the spiritual path. For moments when you need to feel human and spiritual at once — and maybe even guffaw (or weep) at the messiness of it all.

  • Earth and Sky in Five Voices — stories that weave the elements and unseen into everyday guidance. These remind you that the natural world is always speaking, always guiding.

Think of it as a journal I’ve opened to you — raw, honest pages about what it means to walk through endings and beginnings with presence.

It’s not polished essays, but the living process of becoming. If my stories here feel like lanterns, my Substack is where you’ll find the glow still warm from the fire.
