Bright Blessings!

I began the Dark Moon Collective (DMC) in 2025 in order to allow pagans, witches, magickal folk, and other Nature-based spiritual practitioners to connect in an open and loving space online and in-person. I am a Certified Head Education Specialist (CHES) with a Master of Science degree in Health Education and Promotion. I also hold certifications for teaching yoga, teaching meditation, and reiki.

​

I am currently in the Ministry and Training Support Program (MTSP) with Circle Sanctuary, one of the nation's oldest and most active Nature-spirituality churches.  I am expecting to be ordained in 2027. You can learn more about Circle Sanctuary at:

Since 2026 I have been a Certified Health Education Specialist for a major university health system in San Diego focusing on holistic wellness, coaching, and creating a culture of wellness.

​

From 2021-2026 I ran the Mind Body Resiliency Program for a major medical center in San Diego, with a focus on stress management, resiliency, and mindfulness. Since 2010 I have been employed in various roles associated with education, healing, and holistic wellness.

​

I recently led two workshops at the 2025 Pagan Spirit Gathering festival 1) From Doing Meditation to Teaching Meditation, and 2) Self-Care for Pagan Practitioners.  I have also co-led local rituals and events in San Diego. Additionally, I have presented at multiple academic and professional conferences in my professional role as a health educator. I have also been published in academic journals and a professional handbook.
