A Companion in the Hidden Corners

I’ve walked some of the darkest corners of my own life. I’ve faced doubt, loss, and fear in ways that left me questioning who I was and if I could keep going. I know what it’s like to feel unseen, to wrestle with parts of yourself you don’t want anyone else to know exist, and to confront truths about life that are uncomfortable, even painful.

But through these experiences, I’ve discovered something crucial: growth comes from leaning into the hard parts, not avoiding them. I’ve learned to navigate my own shadows: the messy, complicated, raw parts of myself, and I’ve learned how to walk alongside others as they navigate theirs.

My Journey

I didn’t arrive here by chance. I’ve made mistakes, fallen, and rebuilt myself more times than I can count. I’ve felt what it means to be broken and lost, and I’ve also discovered the strength that comes from facing life fully. These experiences shaped how I work today: with patience, empathy, and insight born from real life.

I don’t offer quick fixes or platitudes. I offer guidance rooted in lived experience: less theory, more walking the walk. I understand what it’s like to face difficult truths, and I help people find clarity, resilience, and creative power in their own lives.

My Work

Candles: Creating light in the shadows

My candle business began as a personal ritual: a way to create calm and presence during chaotic or dark times. Lighting a candle became a moment to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with myself.

Over time, I realized these small acts of intention could help others too. Each candle I create is more than wax and fragrance...it’s a tool for presence, clarity, and comfort. My candles offer a quiet space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your own inner guidance, bringing light...literally and metaphorically, into life’s shadows.

Human Design Readings: Understanding yourself

I discovered Human Design during a period of personal upheaval, and it shifted the way I understood myself completely. It helped me recognize patterns, embrace strengths, and navigate challenges with greater awareness.

Now, I share this tool with others through readings that are grounded, practical, and compassionate. Human Design helps people uncover unconscious patterns shaping their lives and make choices aligned with their true selves. It became a bridge from struggle to clarit...for me, and for those I guide.

Alchemy by Design: Turning shadow into creative power

Alchemy by Design is my own creation, born from years of lived experience. It combines Jungian Alchemy with Human Design to help people make the unconscious conscious, transforming internal patterns into actionable insight and choice.

Through personalized reports and coaching, I help people:

Recognize the unseen forces shaping their lives
Transform challenges into opportunities for growth
Reclaim their creative power and live intentionally

Why I do this...

I know what it’s like to feel stuck in your own shadows. I know the quiet struggle of wishing someone could see what’s really happening inside. I do this work because no one should face the hardest parts of themselves alone.

If you’re ready to face the truth about your life, yourself, or the choices in front of you, I can walk with you—through the difficult, uncomfortable parts—so you can discover the strength, clarity, and creative power that already exist within you.
