Let’s Connect

I'm grateful you're here. Whether you're exploring spiritual direction, considering a program or retreat, inquiring about organizational consulting, or simply feeling drawn to this work - I welcome the conversation.

Who I Am

A devoted mother first and foremost, I weave together my roles as Master Naturalist, Eco-Minister, Educator, and Guide into a unified practice of compassionate service. For decades, I've led communities through trauma-informed leadership, mindfulness education, environmental advocacy, and engaged action.

My interconnected approach to earth, spirit, body, and community manifests through several initiatives: the Torchbearers Collective, a spiritual community fostering deeper connections with Earth and each other; Mindful School of Yoga, a mobile training lab making trauma-informed, healing-centered practices accessible throughout communities; and my service as a board member for Beyond the City, a non-profit providing travel opportunities to underserved youth in Greater Grand Rapids.

My commitment to community extends to public service as an elected official on the Board of Education for Grand Rapids Public Schools, where I apply a holistic perspective to educational governance and policy.

My work draws inspiration from Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, psychologist Sharon Blackie, activist Joanna Macy, and the Center for Wild Spirituality. With deep respect, I acknowledge my presence on the unceded ancestral lands of Michigan's first peoples—the Anishinaabe: Odawa, Ojibwe, and Bodéwadmi—and express gratitude to the land that sustains my life, work, and community.
