First and foremost, I am a mother and all I do revolves around this aspect of my life. I have birthed two beautiful goddesses in my Northern California home, nine years apart; each birth was different and offered me the most profound transmission of wisdom and medicine I have ever experienced. Satori and Athena are my greatest teachers, my heart, and my world.

I was raised in central NJ, to an Italian mother and Cuban father, so I was exposed to complete diversity in the hustle-bustle rat race, in a home that was loud, certainly dysfunctional, food-loving, dramatic, passionate, over-bearing chaos, and craziness that I can now see as an enormous slice of Heaven. I include this because it strongly informs my personality, my values, my challenges, and my presence.

I moved to Vermont at the age of 21, where I deepened my relationship with Earth and Spirit in more grounded ways by connecting more to land, the soil, and the plants. I completed degrees in Transpersonal Psychology and Latin American Studies from Burlington College in 2007, which gave me many opportunities to explore healing from a multi-disciplinary approach. It was introduction to the world of mythology, Gnosticism, and the Evolution of Human Consciousness. I was also introduced to the work of Stanislav Grof and the validity of non-ordinary states of consciousness.

In my late 20’s I experienced an immense cycle of repeated loss, death, and grief. I was debilitated in immense sorrow, depression, and other commingled mental health issues. This truly was the beginning of my conscious descent into the Underworld. It was a journey that took many years to unfold.

I had the blessings of traveling and exploring Western Esoteric and Eastern spiritual teachings, which gave me a new understanding of how the Body, Mind, and Spirit work together to ignite The Dark Night of Soul and The Dark Night of the Ego. I participated in many Vipassana Meditations, in the style of S.N. Goenka, and I was introduced to Hatha and Vajra Yoga. I was called repeatedly to the Green Tara, which synchronistically led me to the compassion and teachings of the Divine Mother through various Tibetan Buddhist teachers and practices that I began to utilize and integrate into my own life.

I traveled to the Findhorn Community to study spirituality and community development and was introduced to the work of 5 Rhythms dance, which took me deeper into this understanding of “Body as Psyche” and “living movement meditation.” I also met my current teachers, Errol Weiner and Imogen Masters, who together creatively share their work in Planetary Transpersonal Astrology, Depth Psychology, and Esoteric Wisdom.

At 29, I experienced a direct confirmation of my path through an apparition of the Divine Mother, while camping beneath the stars on a sacred mountain in Baja California, Mexico. I was given the message that I was to be leading people into the process of Awakening.

I settled in the Sierra Foothills of Northern California and devoted myself to healing, transforming, and integrating the teachings and lived experiences into wisdom. I began to bridge the connection between my own life, my ancestral lineage, and ancient mythology. I was introduced to The Stargate Experience in 2011 and began to completely immerse myself in multidimensional energies and frequencies. These meditations gave me such a gentle and expansive way to explore non-ordinary states of consciousness. It was during a Stargate Immersion Retreat in 2020 that I first experienced my connection and ability to channel the energies of Isis.

As the devoted apprentice, I received my Masters Degree in 2015 from Burlington College, in Integrative Psychology specializing in Transpersonal and Somatic Psychology and Trauma Studies. This marriage of science and spirit has allowed me to create unique offerings and techniques to safely access, navigate, and integrate the archetypal, transpersonal, and multidimensional realms of existence.

I also have years of experience working with “at risk” teens with trauma, developmental, and learning disabilities, in both private sessions and in group settings, which is the most challenging, rewarding, and fun work I have ever done. I have accumulated many hours of supervision, consultation, and training in nervous system practices, polyvagal theory, and resiliency skills.

Now in my 40’s, I’m devoted to bringing the many facets of Self into my offerings. I bring my lineage, my experiences, and my wisdom. My deep devotion to Serve and Embody the Divine Mother has been integrated and I am available to bring through her frequencies and energies in various forms. It is through her guidance that I seek to repair her disrupted and distorted connection with humanity.

I am always engaged in continuing education; learning new movement practices, nervous system trainings, and continually developing my research with intentions of contributing more to the field of Transpersonal Psychology and to energetically restore the Great Gnostic Libraries that were destroyed throughout history.
