Story
Home Life
My partner and husband is one of the most amazing and grounded men, Phillip (aka: Pip). Together we’ve been rockin’ life since 1999 (high school). We are: best friends, parents, lovers, business partners, and more. Many moons ago we decided to connect deeper with nature, and evolve our lives to be as holistic & organic as possible (with great success I must add).
Ultimately that is what started our adventure of organic homesteading in Northeast Wisconsin in the beautiful peninsula of Door County in 2012, culminating on a path of living as sustainably as we can while learning and growing. Pip and I have had a fantastic journey so far with many ups, downs, twists, turns, crashes, repairs and much more. Our relationship with each other and with the land has formed much of who I am and how I approach my clients’ healing journeys.
Our animals are a large part of who I am and are constantly teaching me patience and acceptance. With years of dog training and animal rescue experience, I am always working with animals in some way. Our farm animals have helped to extend that love and patience to new species, including goats, donkeys, chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigs and cows. It’s an ever-evolving door here that we are always learning and growing from.
The kiddos
Being a mother of four of the most strong-willed, fun-loving, mind-boggling, spontaneous-giggling kids has altered my soul to view the world in new ways. We had to work HARD to have these children and the journey to create a family was THE catalyst that set us on our healthy living journey in full force. After 5 ½ years of fertility struggles, numerous failed fertility treatments via allopathic medicine, rejected adoption attempts, and more emotional pain than anyone should have to endure, we eventually gave in to The Universe and let go.
We focused on what we could control and changed our diet to clean, chemical free, whole foods. We utilized acupuncture, supplements, chiropractic care, and good ‘ole exercise. We eventually balanced ourselves and supported our health enough, and conceived all four children naturally and went on to have 4 healthy pregnancies and natural home births. They are truly walking miracles.
Elliott, Gertrude (Gertie), Gwenivere, and Saffron all have the ability to simultaneously lift me to highs I have never known, while humbling my ego like it has never been before! They have awakened feelings and made apparent the baggage that’s within I didn’t know existed or needed to be dealt with. As I travel along my motherhood journey I work hard to become aware of my issues, deal with and heal them, and communicate properly instead of letting things build up and explode in an unhealthy way. I am a clear and determined communicator and work hard to remain open and honest with feelings and emotions, while teaching the children what to do with those big emotions and how best to manage them (hint: we use essential oils here a lot).
My children are constant reminders to me to always strive to do better each day and I am beyond grateful for that.
Deeper
As I read into my astrological birth chart, I see words that describe the inner part of me so perfectly. “I have a gift for working with others, helping them to sense and feel the unity of life. I love to solve problems and to work for a great cause and purpose, as well as being very sympathetic. I have a naturally compassionate understanding of people with the mind of a lawyer – always able to size up a problem and come up with a solution.” These words resonate strongly with me. I feel so fortunate to have found a career that utilizes all of my natural tendencies that have been with me since birth. It’s who I was born to be.
It is my quintessential dream that we get to know each other, share our stories, and share our lessons, as we float along the river of life together.
