I am the mother to beautiful 18 year old twin boys & am a unicorn as they call those born and raised still living in Portland Oregon.

I went from being a hot mess to stepping into my light as a healer.
I have worked in the Portland medical/public health field for 17 years (now in HIV prevention… Get tested!!)

I never saw myself as a healer even when others saw it in me. Things got more clear & I saw how the trauma and drama that I went through pushed me to my souls purpose. I wanted to live and feel alive, not cry daily over what I thought was my sad life story. I got sick at the thought that my life would never be filled with joy or happiness.

So I tried something new called Reiki and I didn’t know what the hell that was but I went, with nothing to loose but the bag of sorrows strapped to my back. I laid back and trusted another to lead me and that for me was the best thing I could have down for myself. So I went again and my heart felt full (actually kind of drunk with love) and I could not get enough.

In divine timing my Reiki healer saw a magic in me I had been trying to deny for years and brought me in to train. My heart opened and exploded with downloads, knowing’s, awareness's and true acceptance of myself. I am now certified in Holy Fire Reiki as a master teacher.

I was on fire and candles fell in to my lap. I started studying the power of fire magic oils, sprays & Sea Moss. I started to hold space for those I love to join me in healing and then Black Moon Healing was born. A beautiful space in PDX I share with Antha from Late Breakfast.

I felt big shifts in my life, powerful women coming forward and welcoming me in to new healing communities. Sooooo many fast friends that are chosen family now.

With a lot of love & support I was inspired to make this thang a business. Providing low to no cost sessions virtually or in person for BIPOC community members ( I work with all humans but always honor my community)

I invite you to connect with me and start the journey back to the innate healer in you
