I have been blessed to serve the communities in Nepal for the last ten years. Half of my heart is always there. ♥️ I have been lucky enough to watch the cheeky kids become intelligent and beautiful young adults, I have seen the communities repair again and again after hardship. What started as a crazy life adventure turned into a large part of my life’s work.
Today is and if your inbox isn’t blowing up with requests for donations from all the nonprofits you love, then maybe it’s time to open your heart and do a little digging…. Which causes speak to you… which organizations could use some of your support at this time? There is no shortage of need, as we know.
I am the executive director for the and we have some big work in store for 2024. Please consider giving to our nonprofit today so we can keep doing our work to amd 🫶

At home, prepping for a long overdue hangout with one of my dear dear Colorado sisters who is comparably as busy as I am… 🤪👊
I am literally making a list of all the things I want to talk to her about and in order of importance and already grieving our goodbye at the end of the night…
Friendships are my lifeblood and while I am blessed to still have some incredible friends from childhood, finding and sustaining good friendships have been something to contend with here in the front range… such a transient energy. People come here to heal, they come here to study, and only a few tether themselves after hearing the magic whispers of the forest and planting seeds and stretching their roots deep into this very rocky soil. I myself am somewhat transient in the work I do with the nonprofit but I hold dear all the sisters who also work to maintain our friendships despite busyness and mamahood and all the other things that call on our attention.
And since my love language is quality time (1) and contact (2), I really appreciate the women in my life who can make that happen for me, as it fills my cup tremendously ♥️

Four-leggeds know just how to do it on a rainy and gray day… too bad we don’t get many of these in Colorado 😭 But it’s been a great day having most of my meetings on Zoom in the bed, snuggling Ellie ♥️

Coming up on 2.5 years that I’ve known this beauty…. Love that we can talk ALL the things… and eat ALL the tacos and corn chips and drink all the margs and mezcal, hahaha…. Amazing the people who step in when you just allow a little space….

Yes, the background is real.
Yes, it matches my hat.
Yes, nature is a mirror.
Yes, I am as happy as I look.

A good cry on the bus goes a long way with this one … so much heartache, so much magic … all wrapped into one beautiful little package ♥️♥️♥️

A solid 30 minutes of combing and the mane is set free after 8 days in a very messy, tangled braid, lol

Signing off for a bit here on the way to Nepal, saying goodbye to the wee ones, two and four leggeds…. 300 lbs of medical supplies, 18 volunteers, 12 health camps, 20 days… ♥️ 🇳🇵

I am here to move and shake and speak about the things that are most dear to me. I care a lot about this world and the people, plants, and animals in it. I long to live in a time where there is awareness of our inherent connection to Mother Earth as well as a felt sense of global community that permeates all we do, think, and feel.
As an author, speaker, and storyteller, I have chosen to use language as my resource for soul-level discovery and as a bridge, connecting you and me.
My desire in sharing stories, reflections, and healing guidance is that if it speaks to you, may it become a gift to this world by reducing shame, creating more connection and compassion, all the while restoring hope in a world where that can sometimes be our greatest challenge.
You see, you are a gift. May you know this in your bones when you and I collide, whether it be through the words in my book, in the treatment room, or in the classroom.
As a practitioner, I co-founded the Inner Ocean Center for Healing where we offer a truly holistic vision for healthcare and put into practice a genuine love for humanity and eagerness to support healing, anywhere and everywhere possible. Our center is located in the foothills of Colorado and you are welcome to come visit anytime.
In addition to private practice, I founded a nonprofit, the Inner Ocean Empowerment Project focused on giving the gift of healing and education to the people and in the communities that need it the most. As such, I have been traveling off and on since 2013, drinking up the wisdom of the world, all the while being of deep service in impoverished, indigenous communities.
As a leader and guide, I bring small communities of wisdom-seekers with me as we are taken on a journey of inner and outer discovery. We have the opportunity to offer the unique medicines that each one of us carries and to receive deep connection and awareness of the native communities we serve.
If any or all of this gets you excited, please reach out. I want to support you in any way that I can.
