I was born and raised on many pieces of land fed and nourished by the Tittabawasee River watershed in mid Michigan.
Born under the New Moon in late October when the veil was thin, I have held a connection to that liminal space my entire life, tapping into my deep intuition and allowing it to weave pieces of remembrance back into my life.
I was an exuberant, observant, and intelligent child that deeply felt the tension across the many threads at play in my life, but had an incredible resolve to bring my light to the world, often bursting through the seams of childhood traumas and adversity.
Since childhood I have be an effusive creator, spending ages learning the art of resourceful handiwork in the laps and across the table from my mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, whom all influenced my ever evolving passion to breathe new life into rescued, recycled, and repurposed goods. This ancestral gift was my first somatic resource, connecting me to the present moment in my body and allowing me to transmute the experience of my complex childhood into joy to share with others.
