I’m a midlife maven whose life journey is gloriously complex and multi-faceted as one often finds in women of a certain age. I have walked a goddess-oriented path for nearly four decades, exploring, learning, and growing. I am always focused on finding empowerment and balance in the sacred feminine and divine masculine that resides within each of us, and that we each express in our own unique way. ​​

I am a genealogist, dedicated to connecting people to their ancestral truths by teaching them how to research their own sacred roots. With over two decades of research experience in traditional and genetic genealogy, I present lectures and educational workshops locally, nationally, and internationally. I also facilitate genealogy trainings that are focused on magic and connecting with the ancestors. ​

I have been a registered nurse for 30+ years and, prior to leaving the acute care bedside, my RN career was spent mostly in Surgical ICU. My path since 2010 is intentionally integrative, woman-focused, advocacy-driven, and utilizes education, clinical aromatherapy, and other holistic modalities that collaborate with (but do not replace) evidence-informed care from licensed prescribing providers. I am also a long-time member of the American Holistic Nurses Association. In addition to my education as a registered nurse, I have studied and initiated into priestess paths that compliment my interests in art, writing, genealogy, and astrology. I'm a collector of magical knowledge and experiences, and my life path reflects that energy.​

Much of my joie de vivre lies in creative expression, and I am the author of The Magic in Your Genes (Weiser Books, 2023), which is a primer on ways to bring together the science of DNA with a dedicated magical practice, and contributing author and co-editor of Brigid's Light (Weiser Books, 2022), a heart-filled anthology dedicated to the goddess and saint, Brigid. My current project, Motherline Grimoire: Spells, Rituals, and Ancestor Magic to Connect with Your Sacred Lineage, will be available from Weiser Books in Autumn 2026.​

When I’m not riding a Mardi Gras float in my hometown of New Orleans or roaming the world in search of grandmothers, quirky art, and stone circles, I live with my beloved in our forest cottage in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. It is a special privilege to dwell in this sacred forest and to steward this beautiful land.
