I spent most of my childhood wandering the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, making tree forts with my sister and the neighborhood kids while looking out for rattlesnakes and mountain lion scat. Grateful for this early deep connection to Earth during those formative years of living in the shadows of the mountains that watched me grow up and the wildness around me. I continue to cultivate this rooted relationship through my daily "witch" walks and seasonal reverence.
​
Before becoming an astrologer 13 years ago, I worked for more than a decade in the public, private, and non-profit sectors in communications and public relations as a team member and boss. I also had brief forays as a TV reporter, speed-dating hostess, spokesmodel, and yoga instructor. During all that time, I was also a huge astrology skeptic.
Now I do my best to bridge the worlds of woo and work with a down-to-earth and trauma-informed lens for my astrology sessions, courses, and trainings. I love working with other holistic healers, magic makers, witches, wild ones, and revolutionaries to uncover more purpose and soul.
The business name Wild Witch of the West came to me in the middle of the night more than a decade ago, and I'm still living into the idea and letting it evolve as I go. While the word witch may evoke many things, to me it means:
​
-
enchanting myself with Earth and Ether, as a connector between above and below, and a lover of darkness and light
-
a strong political stance against the macro expression of patriarchy and its value of dominance over collaboration
-
honoring and valuing my intuition as a guide to living my life as an art
-
valuing Earth and doing my best to align with how to create a relationship of integrity with my favorite planet​
​
When not staring at my transits (or your chart), I can be found wandering on a hiking trail, watching silly TikTok videos, or "force" cuddling my kitties Freyja and Sophie.

I have a Facebook group called Witches, Wild Women, & Wolves an online community focused on the intersection of sex, power, and creativity
Values & Vision
Enchantment - A cosmological lens of awe toward existence and beauty, a modern medicine for our sense of separation
Earth - Doing my best to live in harmony and have as little harmful impact as I can on our planet through permaculture, herbalism, and delight
Community Care & Collaboration - Together we can be more and accomplish more, reach out below!
Complexity - Valuing and/or paradox rather than binary thinking...same for astrology imagining beyond the chart to evolution
Desire & Evolution- Trusting the soul as a place we can listen for guidance to lead us back to ourselves. The pull towards something that evolves us.
Co-Liberation - Commitment to intersectionality and acknowledging how I benefit from the current structures of oppression. Here is my anti-racism statement informed by my time in the UNtraining program.
Adventure - Humans need uncertainty and stability to thrive and novelty makes my soul sing
Wisdom - Lover of learning, and doing my best not to be a know-it-all. My favorite books: Care of the Soul by Thomas Moore, All About Love by bell hooks, Way of all Women by Esther Harding, Emergent Strategy by adrienne marie brown, Women Who Run with Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés
"A Witch is somebody who stands against patriarchy and everything that is currently wrong with our society and any society throughout the ages."
