If you are seeking support in your journey, I would be honored to collaborate with you.

i was first politicized after spending time as a student in Egypt and occupied Palestine, and getting involved in anti-imperialism and Palestine solidarity movements. Over time, I deepened into organizing around ecocide and environmental justice, MAD pride, DIY generative health, anti-fascism, anti-racism, and supporting movements for Indigenous sovereignty – both here on Turtle Island / NA and in occupied Palestine.

I am deeply rooted in queer community, anarchic organizing and direct action.

with so much gratitude in my heart, i honor those who have done the work in the movements for MAD pride, disability justice and healing justice, who have impacted me deeply and changed how i move through the world.

since then, i have worn many hats. i have been a full spectrum doula, a gender + sex educator, a conflict mediator, an info shop collective member, a gathering organizer, a direct action trainer, a student in academic settings, and an herbalist trained in “traditional western herbalism” (read: european empire medicine).

I am a longtime witch, ritualist, and writer, and have been a member of many different organizing groups and collectives. I am a trained facilitator with nearly a decade of experience, having facilitated circles, dialogue, and meetings in a multitude of settings. I believe that deep connection and healing is possible in containers that are held with care, intention and attention – I have seen it.

lately my focus has been directed toward relational transformation and healing – with self, other humans, plantkin, land, transcestors, and Spirit. Ritual, embodiment, relationships with plants, and personal practice have all been cornerstones of my own healing processes, and are at the root of what i am currently sharing with community.

i am deeply committed to information + skill sharing, power sharing, and transforming together in community.

i feel curiosity around questions of anti-professionalism, real community accountability, and how even in radical spaces we replicate systems of harm and oppression.

I feel curiosity around the how of many processes, around how the process by which we do a thing can be just as important as the thing itself –
– how ancestral reconnection processes for settlers can be intricately tied to supporting Indigenous sovereignty   and dismantling white supremacy on Turtle Island/NA in practice, not just in theory.
– how we build relationships with more-than-human kin
– how we tend to our inner shadows and wounds
– how we deepen in relationship with forces of nature, like Change and Spirit
– how we deepen into resiliency in this world.

Other teachers that have shaped me in an ongoing way through workshops over the years include by Ember Peters, Ayelet Haschachar, Nicole Rose of Solidarity Apothecary, Kelly of Attic Apothecary, and more.

all of this more formal study flows alongside a decade of self study and devotional practice of fostering kinship with plants.

Teaching: I have taught via my own practice h&y, as well as Terra Sylva, BRSHM, Railyard Apothecary, Western MA Herbalism Symposium, Maine Herbalism Gathering, and more.

I have been offering 1:1 support since 2019.

My focus in herbalism is cultivating relationships in an anti-colonial lens, herbal allies for generative/reproductive autonomy, mental & emotional health, queer/trans care, and long covid.

to bolster my capacity to support community [and because I love to learn!], i’ve also undertaking training in trauma-aware care provision, generative (reproductive) cycle education, full spectrum doula care, suicidality support, ritual creation and priestxing skills, acupressure, facilitation, breath work, and tools for supporting people through grief, crisis and bereavement.

For my own healing and transformation, I have been (and continue to be) supported through 1:1 gs somatic coaching, talk therapy, bodywork, queer kink, anti-racism education, 12 step rooms, continued politicized somatics training, ritual and daily sacred practice, ancestral tending, aerial practice, dance, ruptured cultural reweaving through language and song, and community mutual aid networks.

I practice an ancestrally connected, earth rooted devotion the to holy wild.

I am an eclectic witch with a love of lore and ritual. My practice is based on deep relationship with Spirit, the Creatrix of life. It is grounded in my ancestral Celtic Isles’ blood lineages, deep relationships with plant kin, and in the re-membering of queer magical lineages erased by white supremacy and settler colonialism. Furthermore, my spirituality is nourished by my ethics: biocentrism, anarchism, the importance of ancestral reverence, and my commitment to doing my part to rebuild a more liberatory world every single day. Community-wise, I am a witch of the Reclaiming Tradition and a member of the Earthspirit community, both communities having held me for many years.

As a trans agender person, I practice liminal gender blessed magic and honor my queer transcestors. They do not rest in peace; May They Rise in Power.

In addition to over a decade of self-study, I have learned from many potent sources: my sacred circle of beloveds; my transcestors and ancestors; teachers in the Earthspirit community over 8+ years, especially Juniper Talbot, Sarah Lyn Eaton, and Giariel Foxwood; Reclaiming witches in the Pleasures of Beltaine camp, Wild Maine Witchcamp, BC Witchcamp and Cloudcatcher Witchcamp communities; Pavini Moray, from whom I learned the language ‘gender blessed’; Murphy Robinson and Jamie Waggoner; Alexis Cunningfolk through their courses and other teachings; the staff at Asheville Raven & Crone where I was lucky enough to work as a staff witch; trainings through the Institute for Birth, Breath and Death; the covens of my youth; from the plants and earth and sky themselves; from writers, poets and storytellers; my ancestors; and from spirit.

May the work I do in this life help move the wheel toward liberation.
