Here are some areas where I can offer support:

Trance is an altered state of consciousness that allows for deeper exploration of your inner psyche, your relationship to the world, and the divine. During trance, we can unweave old patterns, unearth memories for healing, vision into what we want to create or be, visit spiritual realms, commune with ancestors and spiritual allies, and more! I can guide you in trances tailored to your specific needs.
Typically I work with folks for 3 or more sessions to explore what you’re looking to do trance work around, and integration, but we can discuss what will best suit your needs in a consult.
I have been studying Tarot for over 10 years. I also incorporate Elder Futhark runes, Pendulums, bibliomancy, and Oracle cards into my practice depending on the questions I’m divining on. Wondering the next step in your path? Looking for reflections on the energies present in an interpersonal dynamic? Considering different options for your creative process, career, living situation or something else? Let my help you tap into the messages. I can do readings synchronously or asynchronously. Contact me about the nature of your question and I will send a quote based on the number of cards needed for your reading.

Looking to mark a transition in your life? A space to honor your grief, your rage, your joy, or your queerness? Support with a specific aim? I can support you in co-creating a ritual tailored to your needs. Ritual can be a powerful tool that can support you in finding deeper alignment with your authentic self and your purpose.
My ritual practices can include grounding & somatic practices, trance work, blessings, cleansings, banishings, marking rites of passage, raising energy for specific spellcraft, devotion and ecstatic communion. I work with ancestors, Elements, Spirits, and Gods.
Please note, I can do some workings on behalf of you on my own, but I am most interested in designing rituals for you to participate in, that we would enact together.

Want to develop deeper tools for grounding and embodiment? Want to gain greater awareness of your inner wisdom, creative impulse, and intuition? Want to develop tools to design your own rituals, connect with spiritual allies, or develop your own divination practices? I can tailor 1:1 mentorship to your spiritual goals. I can also blend spiritual mentorship with my peer support practice to explore how spiritual tools might support in you in making meaning of mental health, suicidality, trauma, and other forms of emotional distress.
Cost

I offer spiritual mentorship on a sliding scale of $50 - 180 USD per hour, or a 5 session package for $200 - 900. Schedule a free 30 minute consult* to see if we are the right fit!
Session packages could be paid monthly on a sliding scale of $40 - 150 per month.
We can work online, or in-person. I am currently located in Fort Collins, Colorado, but do travel frequently for performances and classes I teach, so I am open to coordinating an in-person meeting in other locations depending on my travel schedule.
*Please note, I only do consults for mentorship, ritualcraft, and inquires about guided trance. For divination readings, please book a 30-60 minute paid appointment. You can either contact me for a synchronous reading or purchase an asynchronous reading here to receive a video.

FAQs
-
My practice is rooted in the Reclaiming Witchcraft Tradition blended with my peer support mental health trainings in the Alternatives to Suicide and Intentional Peer Support models. I value consent, choice, embodiment and intuition. Together we will co-create a space to explore, feel for your edges, and grow in the ways you want to grow.
-
I work with people of all backgrounds including both witches who have been practicing for a long time and those who don’t use the word “witch” or aren’t even sure where to begin spiritually.
While a lot of my spiritual work is by and with queer folks and affirming our unique divinity, I work with anyone drawn to my work.
-
Usually we’ll begin with a check-in about how you’re doing and if you have any specific desires for the session. Then, we could engage any number of spiritual tools: grounding/centering, Tarot, guided trance journeys, listening to the land, connecting with spirits/Gods, energetic sensing and alignment, or something else! Often I will save enough time at the end to process and digest together.
Some folks may prefer talk-based sessions to start out with to explore and plan a bigger ritual we do together later on, while others may prefer smaller bite-sized practices together every session.
-
Sessions are typically 60-90 minutes and can be scheduled weekly, biweekly, or monthly. We can decide together the frequency and duration based on your needs.
Occasionally, we may want to book a longer session together if we are co-designing a culminating ritual for our work together.
-
For non-local folks, we will meet online using Zoom.
For local folks (or folks in regions I may be traveling to for workshops or performances), we can meet in-person and negotiate where based on the needs of the session. I have met with folks at libraries, coffee shops, parks, mountains, rivers, and once we have an established relationship & are both comfy, even at each other’s houses.

I have over 10 years experience in witchcraft and practice in the Reclaiming and Wildwood Traditions. As someone who is devoted to continuous learning, I have taken many, many classes in witchcraft and continue to do so! I have been teaching witchcraft since 2021 — online and in-person core classes, at witchcamps, and at “non-denominational” retreats.
In the world of mental health, I’ve been facilitating peer support groups and circles in some capacity for over 10 years, and been offering 1:1 peer support for 5 years. Emerging from the Psychiatric Survivor & Mad Pride movements, peer support is a framework of supporting those struggling with mental health by leaning on the wisdom of our lived experience with mental health and/or substance use struggles. I am a trainer in the Alternatives to Suicide model and Intentional Peer Support model. This informs how I approach consent, choice, and respecting your unique experience without assigning my own meaning when we work together.
-
No, I’m not a therapist and I don’t diagnose mental health conditions. While mental health is certainly a topic we can talk about, by and large I won’t be thinking about your mental health from a pathology framework unless you yourself view your mental health that way.
This is a space to make meaning of your experiences on your own terms, and could be a great complement to therapy.
-
No, spiritual mentorship with me is not a pathway intended to lead to Initiation in either of the witchcraft traditions I practice in.
-
Yes! I offer a free 30-minute consult as an introductory session. If it feels like a good fit, we can talk about next steps from there.
-
No worries! We can explore together and try out different things, talk about what felt helpful (or not), and adjust from there.

If you’re ready for ongoing work, review these spiritual mentorship agreements, and contact me and we’ll work out next steps.
About my spiritual lineages…
I have been practicing witchcraft for 10 years, and remembering witchcraft my entire life. My witchcraft is one of praying to stars, venerating & listening to the land, engaging with the living animism of our world, feasting with many Gods, and dancing at the threshold between realms.
I was drawn to witchcraft from a young age, lost it during my many years at the gateway of suicidality, and found my way back to it through desperation and serendipity. I am interested in the places where spirit and madness overlap, and witchcraft has been the primary tool that helped me come home to myself and commit to my own life force.
My witchcraft weaves together animism, sound, play, ritual, performance, poetry, and devotion. I practice to deepen communion with Mystery, to show up and be fully present in the world, and to steward better futures.
I am a witch in Reclaiming Tradition and a Dedicant of the Wildwood Tradition. I honor my many teachers, many Elders and Mighty Dead of these threads that have offered me so much.
Outside of the world of witchcraft, I have over 5 years experience offering peer support in the Intentional Peer Support and Alternatives to Suicide framework. Peer support is a framework from the psychiatric survivor and Mad Pride movements of supporting those struggling with mental health by leaning on the wisdom of our lived experience with mental health and/or substance use struggles. This too informs my witchcraft and the ways I approach support and mentorship with a practice rooted in choice and consent.
