about me

HELLO! I'M REALLY GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

A bit about me if you’re new to this space:

I’m a 2/4 Emotional Generator, a Scorpio Sun, Cancer Rising, Aries Moon and a complex web of many other archetypes and experiences. I’m more than the sum of my parts, and so are you.

I worked in the NFL for two years and the Film Industry for 14 while i was making my way here. Even then I was studying nutrition, training in Meditation, getting certified in Reiki and diving down all the wellness rabbit holes I could find. So, as a 2 Line, it’s no surprise this is where I landed. And as someone with a Personal View and the only channel to my Throat originating at my G Center, it’s no surprise I often share from and of my Self, my lived experience. I lived on the west coast (a Mars + Neptune cross for me) for 20 years and have decided it’s time for a change, but for the first time in my life, I am unsure where I want to land. So with a Strategy to Respond I am waiting to feel into Home. For now, I am wandering.

I started B+F (named after my paternal grandparents) to share the tools that have been most helpful to me… mindfulness, embodied movement, integrated Human Design, the Gene Keys, utilitarian (over diagnostic) Astrology, Astrocartography, Feng Shui, tools for (w)holistic wellbeing, deconditioning + the energetics of balance, vitality, magnetism and co-creation to cultivate greater agency and self sovereignty. The Collective is my most sacred toolbox.

Some things that I believe:
I believe in personal autonomy + sovereignty.
I believe in nourishing whole foods + honoring the cycles and rhythms in nature and within.
I believe in utilizing cosmic wisdom to support us in the now.
I believe in re•membering ourselves.
I believe in releasing all that doesn’t serve our highest good + truth, disempowers, hides or keeps us small. I believe in alchemizing our darkest Shadows into Gifts.
I believe in expansion over contraction, and that often times to expand, we need to first contract a bit.
I believe in seeking truths not media manipulation + I believe in free speech even if your opinion differs greatly from my own.
I believe in taking care of our containers, each other and Mama Earth.
I believe in the small cumulative practices for transformation.
I believe in following your joy, in play, in lightness of being. Healing doesn’t have to be so serious.
I believe in listening to our intuition and growing it like a muscle. I believe we all have access to our higher guidance, that there are no gate keepers.
I believe in the journey. I am on it with you. Always.
I believe the work always begins within and that what we do to heal, evolve, expand and raise our vibration ripples out to the collective.
I believe in the messiness of being human.
I believe in magic.
