As a yoga & meditation teacher, lunar facilitation guide, women’s circle tender, and earth medicine maker, I support women in re-membering their inherent wholeness through their connection with the natural world. I inspire the healing of soma and spirit with the seasons, as radical reclamation and knowing of the rhythms of earth, as our own.
This is re-membrance of the way of the feminine, earth as Divine Mother, mirror of rhythmic intelligence, of beauty and open heartedness and of weaving together in community, knowing we are never lost and never truly alone.
I am forever deepening my relationship with nature, allowing curiosity to inform my being. Becoming and unbecoming whilst journeying the seasons of my life. Honouring all of the women I have been and have yet to become. Inviting reverence for the sacred in everyday and practicing life as ceremony in devotion to the ordinary, everyday magic.
I am also an intuitive flower spirit guide, and creator of The Wild Kinship, a bespoke collection of ceremonial flower essences, which I wildcraft in partnership with the land, where I live. “
Together, we explored bringing beauty to the mundane, the wisdom inherent in seasonal and moon cycles, and inviting our intuition to speak through nature around us.

The act of self-care came through discovering and making natural products like skincare and teas as a hobby. Creating was a therapeutic way for me to relieve the stressors and changes happening around me, and that’s where it all began. I embodied my grandfather’s joy of natural medicine and holistic living. I watched him experiment with herbs, making teas and oils to naturally heal and support his well-being. My vision then expanded to start my own small business to help others learn to nurture themselves in intentional ways, so that they can thrive through seasonal changes or stressors. Nurture with Botanics has evolved to be a tea focused wellness brand when I realized tea is more than just a delicious drink. There are endless ways to incorporate tea into your routine (not just by drinking them!) and so many supporting and healing properties. Nurture with Botanics is where I can combine my love for herbs, food and my passion for helping others thrive. Incorporating botanics into our self-care routines teaches us so much about enjoying the unhurried process of life. Plants take time to grow, and while they provide us with so much, they also require us to provide for them— a beautiful balance.”
Together, we explored how the natural shift of seasons requires an inner shift as well, and how our daily rituals can be intentionally designed to help support us.

Those who know me, know that I love to climb, talk about food, flavour, cooking and tangerines, that I am enamoured with shells, food made over the fire, olives, early bedtimes, sunsets, coffee, and blue flowers.
Those who know me the best know that I love the water but still panic swimming back from the dock thinking a jackfish will nip my toes. They know that my favourite food is sushi, but am often too scared to eat raw fish, paralyzed by a long past memory of food poisoning. They know I am a decaf-drinking barista, that I love the company of people over 70, that I didn’t enjoy university, that I pretend to love pets more than I do, that I melt cheese on my ramen (weird or brilliant?), and that I got my drivers licence well into my twenties.
I love to be known. I also think it can sometimes feel less sexy, and less worthy of being romanticized.
I am here to hang my hat on the idea that your mundane life can keep company with the romantic. For the last year I have been photo journalling through an app my good friend put me on to. It has me entirely convinced that life can be documented and remembered in a way that connects you to beauty and aesthetic without leaving the real self and experiences behind.
