about ME
I am a queer being of Scandinavian, Croatian and Irish decent. I am most at home among flowers and water. I live on the land of the Duwamish and Coast Salish people.
My healing journey began at an early age. I was planted upside down and backwards into a colorful and chaotic environment rife with catholicism, alcoholism and ancestral trauma. I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, adult sexual assault and a myriad of other experiences that have shaped me.
I am very fortunate to have been born into a family of artists who valued creativity. I had access to art supplies and musical instruments, which I used to open doorways into other dimensions of reality and connection. My creativity continued to open doors as I crafted a career as a world traveling performing artist. Over the last 25 years, I’ve been blessed with many teachers and collaborators. My journey has been supported by flowers, deep relationships with nature, spiritual and intuitive practices, group ritual and earth based wisdom.
I was introduced to Caffyn Jesse in 2018 and began my studies in Somatic Sex and Intimacy Education (SSE) with a private mentorship. Meeting this practice was profound for me. Through the modality of SSE, I am now able to know my body as a safe place to be. Concurrent with my discovery of SSE, I studied conscious kink/BDSM and became a practitioner in 2020.
I weave my artistry with the wonderful world of SSE, conscious kink/BDSM and ritual technologies. My offerings are trauma informed, trans-inclusive, poly normative, life affirming and pleasure centered. I honor the healing power of pleasure as a resource for transformation and belonging. I am a commitment to unlearning patterns of internalized patriarchy, racism and white body supremacy. I participate in communities of practice that center healing justice and generative conflict resolution. Everything I create is touched with intention and the knowing that all our healing and liberation journeys are interconnected.
