At the heart of everything I write is a simple belief: mysticism isn’t reserved for the extraordinary. It’s part of our birthright as human beings. I believe we encounter it every day—in meaningful coincidences, moments of deep presence, unexpected connections, and our relationships with the living world around us.

I’m an everyday mystic, word apothecary, and author of Steeped in Magic: Awaken to Everyday Mystery with Simple Tea Rituals. My work lives at the intersection of wonder, storytelling, ritual, and the more-than-human world.

I’ve called Anchorage, Alaska home for the past fifteen years. The rhythms of northern life—the returning light of spring, the abundance of summer, the introspection of winter, and the constant presence of mountains, water, and wildness—have profoundly shaped both my spiritual practice and my writing.

I have no formal training in mysticism or spiritual practice. My greatest teachers have been the seasons, wild places, and everyday encounters with the living world. The land, waters, plants, animals, and sky continue to teach me what it means to live in relationship. Beyond my writing, I volunteer in support of Alaska’s National Wildlife Refuges as a way of giving back to the places that have given so much to me.

The seed for my first book, Steeped in Wonder: Awaken to Everyday Mystery with Simple Tea Rituals, emerged from countless conversations that began with the words, “I’ve never told anyone this, but…” Again and again, people shared stories of intuition, synchronicity, dreams, encounters with animals, and moments that defied easy explanation. I realized that many people were having profound mystical experiences but lacked accessible ways to understand or nurture them. My work explores the possibility that wonder isn’t something we have to seek somewhere else—it is already woven into ordinary life.

When I’m not writing, you’ll usually find me gardening, kayaking, crafting, making music through Alaska’s long winters, or exploring trails with my dog, Orion.

I offer author readings, tea leaf reading experiences, and guided tea rituals centered on wonder, seasonal living, remembrance, and relationship with the more-than-human world. I’m available for in-person events, virtual book clubs, workshops, and speaking engagements.
