My Story
I never set out to become a medicine woman — but life had other plans for me.
For over 20 years, I worked as a chef sailing the Great Lakes, living a life shaped by movement, service, and solitude on the water. But something ancient was always calling — whispering through the trees, herbs, fire, and intuition. Slowly, I began to answer.
My journey into healing wasn’t born from peace — it came from pain. A deep heartbreak cracked me open and led me to yoga and reiki. Journaling helped me begin mending parts of myself I didn’t even know were broken.
Then, my body turned on me. Inflammation flared so severely it hurt just to move. I had no choice but to slow down. I shifted into meditation and yin yoga, turning inward. That’s when I began exploring natural ways to heal — through Ayurveda, herbal remedies, and deep listening to my body. I’m still healing, but I’m stronger every day.
These tools — yoga, reiki, herbalism, meditation, journaling — they’ve held me through it all. They’ve taught me that pain comes in many forms, and it will always visit us in this life. But the key isn’t in avoiding it — it’s in how we recognize it, move through it, and alchemize it into something meaningful. That’s how we break the loop and come back to wholeness.
I’ve studied yoga and reiki. I’ve held space for retreats. I’ve gathered women around fires to share stories. And I’ve listened deeply to the plants — their rhythm, their medicine, their wisdom.
Born in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and now rooted in Wisconsin, I’ve always felt a deep pull to nature and the cycles of the Earth. That pull has become a path — one that weaves together plant medicine, energy work, ritual, and sacred community.
Wild Dreamers began as a retreat platform. But like me, it has evolved — into a living, breathing expression of healing, creativity, and spirit. It’s a sanctuary for people returning to themselves through natural medicine, journaling, ceremony, and connection.
Today, I share wildcrafted herbal remedies, reiki and yoga practices, journaling workshops, and fire circles. Everything I offer is an invitation:
To slow down.
To reconnect.
To remember that you are part of nature — and part of something sacred.
If you’re walking the healing path, know this: you’re not alone.
You belong here.
Let’s do this together.
