About Your Magical Mentor

Growing up, my parents were determined to give me a drama-free childhood, and they succeeded. I was invested in a wide-ranging array of activities as a kid – Girl Scouts, peer counseling, dance, leadership, and clubs in school. It was also as a kid that I was introduced to the concepts of yoga and meditation by my mother. I loved being in nature- I had little hidey-holes in the bushes that felt magickal to me. I felt like there was more to nature than what was on the surface.

In high school, choices I made led to an abusive relationship, and consequently I found myself in a bit of a downward spiral. While I graduated with honors and a great GPA, instead of university, I spent a few aimless years in community college before dropping out. I found myself in a cycle of physical self-harm. I felt suicidal sometimes. I made terrible romantic choices and due to many betrayals in my formative years, I had no female friends. Really. One even tried to frame me for fraud. I thought women couldn’t be friends- that we were inherently competitive and catty.

Looking to improve my life, I slowly got back into meditation and gentle yoga. I found Wicca by picking up a book because I thought it would be funny. Because, how fun does witchcraft sound? Little did I know, this five dollar book would act as a catalyst to change my life. Spending time in communion with the goddess, ceremony and ritual helped me to balance my life and channel the frustration and other energies that were manifesting in self-harm and destructive behavior. As I delved more deeply into Wicca and then other Earth-based traditions, I found myself changing and yearning for community.

I met a few amazing witchy women and they were a healing balm for the sister wound created by past catty and mean girlfriends. Through them, I realized that the divine feminine lives through each and every woman and manifests itself in amazing and unique ways. I began to realize the power of the women’s circle.

Yet, I really felt called to find a structured community practice.

I looked for a local coven and finding nothing available, I decided to start my own. This coven has evolved over 14 years into the group I still lead! 

Early in its lifetime, I created a ten-week priestess training course for our dedicant students, and then, when needed, a high-priestess training program for those priestesses ready to start their own coven. I’ve created countless workshops and ceremonies for our circle and others. I’ve coached and provided spiritual counseling to those inside and out of my personal spiritual groups.

And I’m ready to extend my circle to include amazing women like YOU!
