As a certified herbalist, instructor, astrologer, reiki master and ceremonialist with a bachelor of arts in dance her work delves deep through the physical world into the energetic, unseen spirals of land, lineage and cosmology that connects all space and time as one.
Growing up among the red mountains in Las Vegas, Nevada she learned that the land breathes, feels, remembers and understands. As a descendant of ancestors from Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Mali and other regions of West Africa, she strives to re-weave the lost threads of her land-based heritage and the ancient wisdom of the plants.
She discovered herbalism, as herbalism discovered her, during a period of deep disconnection from land and self. While living in North Carolina, near the site of her more recent ancestors captivity, she felt the land calling to her, nursing her back to life. From there she connected with a lineage of mentors who graciously and openly have shared the trainings from their mentors with her.
She now holds sacred space for others through in-person and online ceremonies incorporating herbal consultations, plant spirit meditations, somatic embodiment classes and energy healing sessions for women.
