Meet Your Guide

The Whispering Wilds began as a profoundly personal journey. During childhood trauma, and later grief and PTSD, I instinctively sought refuge in the natural world.
The wild became my sanctuary... and slowly, my guide.
Through botanical photography, I saw the patterns, textures, and living systems that mirror our own inner landscapes. Blending these discoveries into meditation, yoga, and daily rituals, I found new pathways toward healing. Ways that beautifully complemented modern therapy and medicine.

The more I studied nature through my lens, the more I discovered about myself. And the more I realized that true well-being grows when we are present with, and part of, the wild.

Whether through a towering forest or a single houseplant, nature is always whispering to us.

Today, my work bridges science and ancient knowledge. I hold a BA in Psychology, with continuing education in neuroscience and advanced studies in mind-body-spirit approaches. I’m a Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Neuroscience Coach, Meditation Instructor, Journal Therapy Coach, Breathwork Practitioner, and Reiki Master/Teacher (Usui, Crystal, and Gold).

As a classically trained singer, I also weave voice as an energetic tool into my teaching. Alongside my work as a photographer and artist, nature continues to shape both my creative and healing practices.

As an animist and seiðkona, I consult a deeply cherished oracle of bones and other natural items I've spent decades gathering—spirits that come to me for care, and give me advice alongside Elder Futhark runes.

My training is accredited by the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM), the International Association of Therapists (IAOTH), Complementary Medical Association (CMA), National Certification Council for Activity Professionals (NCCAP), and the Centre of CPD Excellence (CPD). I am Board Certified by the American Association of Natural Wellness Practitioners (AANWP). I'm also ordained through the Church of Spiritual Humanism.

But it is the wild places and the people I’ve been privileged to walk beside that have taught me the most.

I'm an "eternal learner," exploring new insights in topics like naturopathy, somatic therapies, biomimicry, neuroplasticity, and ancestral wisdom.

I participate in the Biomimicry Confluence, belong to the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America and the Association of Spiritual Integrity, and am insured and networked through the Association of Professional Coaches. I'm certified through the Institute for Advertising Ethics’ Green Shield program, guarding against greenwashing—a value aligned with my mission. A portion of all Whispering Wilds sales is donated to environmental conservation and cleanup.

Closer to home, I tend a medicinal garden, share my days with a family of crows who treat me as one of their own, and endlessly pursue the art of hygge. I’m a proud mother to a kind-hearted son who shares my love of nature and the cosmos, as does my supportive and inspiring partner.

Every blessing in my life has been deepened by listening to the whispers of the wild. I would be honored to help you do the same.
