About
Living Alchemy
“Once you key-in to the native depths of grace within you, what emerges is your capacity to be other-serving. From the recognition of your inner resource, exactly as you are, right now, unadorned, reaching out evolves into loving-service, and connection without claim.”
— GIL HEDLEY

Meet the Founder
Writing about me feels slightly odd. The words I string together are static on the screen, yet my inner world is fluid, moving, changing. . . so I write with the awareness that I'm whole yet also in-process and things will change over time. There are also things that will remain the same, such as my background, which includes exploration in the fields of natural health, movement, and human consciousness.
For the last 30+ years I’ve had the great fortune to sit with and learn from remarkable teachers worldwide. Through my travels I’ve assembled a multi-modal "medicine pouch" comprised of Yogic wisdom, Ayurvedic Medicine, Aromatic Medicine, Five Element Acupuncture, Chi Nei Tsang, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Thai Nad Bo Rarn, Usui Rei-ki, and Alchemical Healing. These healing traditions, along with my Master’s degrees in Trauma Counseling and Early Childhood Education, are uniquely woven into all my offerings.
My Ph.D. centers around eco-fluency, experiencing nature as map and guide to collectively presence integral consciousness through the praxis of Dialogue.
I am most interested in relational dynamics, attuning to the invisible field of information that lives between and among us, and amplifying the currency of connectedness.
Hang out long enough and you'll find me photographing the stamen of a flower, looking under a microscope, swimming anywhere, talking to an animal, or making magic potions in my medicine studio.
My greatest passion lives in my work - specifically, co-creating the conditions for alchemical shifts that catalyze personal and collective evolution.
