I'm an activist, educator, writer, + mama living in Oakland, California with my family + two cats.
My specialty is helping people dissolve overwhelm, heal burnout, develop mindfulness, and make a huge impact.

Liberatory: Our self-care is not freedom in and of itself. Our practice is a vehicle for freedom, but
Let’s be friends on Instagram! I share weekly self-care check-in videos; inspiring quotes; pictures of my cute-ass cats; and all sorts of joyful, rebellious magic.

to take up a cause or serve others.
Learning to advocate for yourself is the advanced work.
