I live with Paco, my dog familiar, in Toronto, Canada. Toronto comes from the indigenous word, “Tkaronto”, meaning “place where trees stand in the water”. Nature is my greatest teacher, the elements are my co-creators. I endeavour to stand with the supportive wisdom of the trees, as I move fluid with my intuitive guidance and connection to spirit. My indigenous blood & ancestry are not from these lands. But Earth Mother, the plants, trees and animals have helped guide me how to connect to the ancient ancestry that we all share. To access the unconditional love from the land. I continue to learn from elders & earthkeepers, those that carry their lineage’s wisdom & bring forward the connections of our ancient relations, ways of healing,  honouring & supporting each other. A global community of kin in connection to the Earth and Stars. 

I am so grateful to have connected to this land that I was born on, as well as have returned to, time and time again. This land that shares so much guidance, love & ancient wisdom. This land – Turtle Island – that asks for our loving connection, as well as to support the earthkeepers. I acknowledge this land that I currently reside on, are the sacred lands of the Anishinabewaki, the Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat peoples. They also are home to many First nations & World Indigenous peoples. I am in deep gratitude for these wisdomkeepers keeping the original ways of kinship alive. I continue to explore my connection to the land, yet also sit with the discomfort of being on taken land. I am in continuous conversation with the earth and it’s indigenous keepers on how to further more ways of sacred reciprocity.

I believe in ayni, an energetic reciprocity as described by the Q’ero paqos (shamans) of Peru. I have a strong affinity to the Andean energy healers, for some of my ancestors share this lineage. Ayni carries the hope, or the intention to give and receive energy with Love. I trust that my work aligned with spirit to support my life, as well as to be able to share support with a growing community of peoples that protect and sustain all that is sacred. Our home. Our kin. You.
