Feeling Stuck and Looking for a Guide? 

My Awakening

Then my whole life changed after a powerful, two-week Ayahuasca ceremony in Peru, pivoting me from my mind to the Heart. During this time, I began to heal my ancestral lineage, epigenetics, and personal traumas. Peru brought my awakening on like a tidal wave of light. It illuminated what I couldn't see, the depths of despair, shame, and anguish. It doctored my cells and provided me with a homecoming back to my body. It was a chance to move from my suffering to wellness. It was an invitation to cultivate inner peace, deep self-love, compassion, forgiveness, and self-mastery. Ayahuasca showed me how every moment in my life has been cultivated for my service to all beings and Mother Earth. I was compelled to leave formal teaching to create a program to help people move out of their colonized minds into the wisdom of the Heart. Along this journey, I’ve become a student of traditional Tantric Yoga as well as other ancient and indigenous wisdom streams. All of this, my experiences with plant medicine, wisdom traditions, science, and teaching have informed the medicine that I share with you. I am grateful to be in ceremony with you and in service of your healing and wellness.

My Offering

Though Peru was an epic healing gift, it was the integration of these insights and experiences and the work that I did upon my return that put me solidly on my healing and spiritual path. I returned a different person. I no longer fit into my life. Here is a list of tools that I developed to come into right relation with my path.

The Curriculum – Mental Mastery and Spiritual Alchemy: 

• Cultivate listening to your inner guide for your soul’s evolution

• Track your self-mastery 

• Understand your feedback body as a tool for your evolution

• Cultivate an extensive gratitude practice

• Begin or cultivate a meditation practice

• Explore ancient spiritual practices that will open you to your knowing

• Track when your operating system is working against your forward progression 

• Identify energies that no longer serve you, thank them, and release them back to the collective consciousness 

This is a glimpse of the curriculum I use to step into my own power and a few of the tools that I would like to share with you along your own path to transmute your wounds into the gateway to your freedom from the prison of your mind.

My Past Advising Work

As an educator, I have been an advisor to children for over 20 years from Middle School to Undergraduate levels. I have presented workshops, attended conferences, and participated in professional development around microaggressions, privilege, and cultural competency, and I have formally and informally engaged in these topics with my students and colleagues. The lens through which I teach science includes Critical Race Theory, Decolonization Framework, Environmental Sustainability, Piaget’s Theory on Constructivism, Project Zero’s making learning visible, Systems Thinking, and other habits of mind.

I have been a consultant to administrators and friends in business and have sat on multiple diversity boards and task forces (i.e., Board of Directors of Abundant Beginnings Forest Freedom School, Member of The Madeira School Diversity Committee, The Katherine Delmar Burke School Inclusivity & Community Building Committee, The Katherine Delmar Burke School Curriculum Council, and The Katherine Delmar Burke School Head's Advisory Committee).
