I'm delighted that our paths have crossed! I'm the founder and owner of Rooted Alchemy, a business I created with the intention of providing a space for guidance, support, and healing for those that seek it. My journey began with early struggles with various health issues. In grade school, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, depression, and anxiety, which, coupled with medications, led to significant weight gain by the age of 10. By seventeen, I was struggling with polycystic ovarian syndrome and insulin resistance, among other challenges.

After years of being a frog in bowling water, I realized that the way I felt wasn't normal, and I could make changes to improve my health. I began making slow but steady diet and lifestyle changes in my twenties, ultimately shedding over 120 pounds. Although my physical health improved, I still grappled with lingering mental, gut, and reproductive health issues and found myself stuck in toxic, codependent patterns in my relationships.

It was at this point in my journey that I discovered the missing piece: energy medicine and spiritual well-being. I began to understand that many health conditions originate at the energetic level. I learned how trauma and energy imbalances act as silent drains on our vital life-force energy and eventually manifest as physical ailments, from autoimmune diseases to chronic illness and fatigue.

I have always felt a deep connection to the Divine and to my Angels. I have always known I was loved and protected. Even in my darkest moments, I could sense someone or something with me.

I did, however, feel like I didn’t belong in this world. Initially, this feeling of not belonging, shaped me into what pleased everyone around me. I trusted others over myself. I outsourced my opinions, beliefs, and preferences. This later progressed into abusive romantic relationships, where I was so scared to lose my partner, I would do or tolerate anything to keep them. I thought I was desperately trying to love them, but the truth was, I was desperately trying to prove that I was lovable.

Through energy medicine, I gained enough spaciousness and clarity to recognize the patterns. I was trying to harvest love as if it were an outside-in job, but True Love comes from the inside-out. God is the source of all Love. If I can find that place in me that is God, that is Love, I am whole and at peace. I was trying to fill a space that cannot be filled with anything except Infinite, Unconditional Divine Love.

Now, through reconnecting with that eternal, innermost part of me, I know the people who feel like they don’t belong are the very people that are here to help guide the world into a more heart-centered way of being.

By embracing energy medicine to restore balance and clarity to our energy fields, we confront the underlying causes of our ailments. In doing so, we not only harmonize our energetic selves but also pave the way for our physical bodies to find equilibrium.

In this state of balance, our bodies possess the innate ability to self-heal. By addressing the root of our issues rather than merely treating the symptoms, we foster genuine healing from within.

This newfound understanding brought me back to a place of self-love, self-esteem, and empowerment, igniting a desire to help others on their healing journeys, and, so, I dedicated years to educating myself in various healing modalities.

Since 2019, I have mentored and completed two Quantum Energy Medicine Certifications with my sister, Jenn Howard of Gaia Heals, and have also completed level 1 Reiki certification elsewhere.

As I healed, I found the importance and power of using nourishing foods and herbs as natural, earth-based medicines. I earned a certificate in Holistic Nutrition from AFPA, and continuously study and research this subject. 

I studied plant medicine as a part of my Holistic Nutrition course and fell IN LOVE. Herbs are a magical, intuitive guide that support your body’s natural healing process. My journey with herbalism has been profound. There is something so liberating, so innate and wild and powerful about creating and using the medicine that Mama Earth has provided for us. It helps me feel more connected to Her and to all of nature. It helps me to remember I am nature. It roots me down into the magical mystery of this world, and it is, oh so nurturing.

More recently, I completed a Song and Chant Leadership training with Emily Joan Smith. Through this experience, I reconnected with my voice and my passion for singing in a way that reaches for and unites with the Divine. I found my soul’s joy again.

In my practice, I have observed the transformative power of blending nutrition, herbalism, and energy medicine; recognizing how changes in the way we live and consume can bring stored emotions to the surface, allowing us an opportunity to feel and release them and creating a beautiful opportunity for a great upward spiral of healing. We can, of course, work with one modality of your choosing or blend these tools to meet your unique needs on your unique journey.

I'm enthusiastic about guiding and supporting you as you remember and embody your purest, healthiest, most authentic self.

It would be an honor to hold space for you!
