As you may know by now, my private life is woven into my professional life. This Half Waxing Moon, I am currently on Sabbatical realizing my workaholicness and slave mentality. Join patreon for more of my private life. I have done a few hours of work since March 1st and am being gentle with myself. As I lay out more toys, center my joy practice and deepen my meditations.

Additionally working with a local Musical Birthworker to launch my Spiritual Birthwork Services. Mel is such an inspriation who believes in me deeply. As I was initially seeking knowledge to validate my shift into offering family growing support. Mel greeted me, from the first moment, with assurance that I already have the skills I need and can learn more on the job. The ancient philosophy I live by. Mel continues to push me forward and I am so grateful!!
