As a single mama to two wild and crazy little boys, I have become a fierce advocate of radical self-care. As someone who has experienced a great deal of trauma in my life, I know how crucial investing in one’s own healing is. All of these things have not only helped me build an amazing and fulfilling business, they have made me a better mom, friend, and person. My boys have shown me how much more magical and joyful life can be when we show up for ourselves first.

The three of us live in Portland, Oregon, with our magical cat, Merlin. We love spending time in the woods, at the ocean, and cozied up inside together, reading, building legos, or watching PBS. When they’re wild and crazy, I retreat into a crochet project, enjoy cooking, or put my headphones on and listen to a good book.

We’ve been through a lot together, and I can honestly say that my radical self-care and commitment to my own healing has single-handedly allowed us to create the life of my dreams. And I’m ever so grateful for that, and more.
