1. I lived and homesteaded on 27 acres in the wilderness of British Columbia. I grew, prepared and preserved all my own food from scratch. Before that, I had never grown so much as a houseplant, or cooked more than macaroni and cheese from a box.

2. I had a bear pop his head up right outside my kitchen window and look me straight in the eyes while I was washing dishes one day.

3. I once owned a gorgeous baby blue Vespa I named Luna. This beauty was the reason I ended up in my adopted city of Mérida, México. (It’s quite the story. Ask me to tell you sometime.)

4. I’m a Mermaid Pisces whose happy place is water… I learned to swim by age 2. My record number of underwater backwards somersaults (in one breath) is 8. 

5. I’ve suffered body dysmorphic disorder my entire life, thanks to my early training as an elite classical ballerina where I was continuously body shamed and told I was fat.

6. I love cars with sunroofs, and I drive with them open at all times (unless it’s raining). When it’s cold, I just blast the heater on my feet.

7. I moved to Mexico in 2020 with a one way ticket and one suitcase, knowing no one - now I’ve become a legal resident, own a home there, speak Spanish and am living an international lifestyle between the Yucatán peninsula and the SF Bay Area.

8. The true love of my life was a Havanese wizard doggie named Cooper, whose magical powers lived in his fu-man-chu beard (that grew for 15 years).

9. I’ve transformed from survivor to thriver. The defining moment of this radical shift was finding the courage to press charges against my former dance teacher, enduring a 2 year legal process ending in court. He was convicted, safeguarding his future victims from harm (my intention). And I found my inner strength and my voice to advocate for myself (9 years before the #metoo movement gained traction). 

10. I’m a voracious learner. From hiding with a flashlight under the covers as a child reading books all night long - to the trainings, courses, articles, podcasts, videos and books I consume now like a ravenous (sexy) beast - I just can’t stop learning.

11. I have a hard time posing for pictures. I can’t be serious, make goofy ass faces and act like a dork. It’s better if I do dance poses. Then I kill it.

12. As a bisexual+ woman, it is extremely important to me that ALL people of any gender and sexuality feel welcomed, embraced and CELEBRATED in my world!

13. My Human Design: I’m a 2/4 Sacral Manifesting Generator, RA Path of the Sleeping Phoenix. I have 6 defined centers and 6 channels, including 4 to my throat center (I have deep intuitive insights and know what to say to help you in each now moment).

14. I’ve been in monogamous relationships, consensual non-monogamous relationships, hetero relationships and queer relationships. I’ve been married and divorced. I’ve been “consciously single’, meaning I chose to be single for a period of time to develop and heal my relationship with myself. I’ve had a wide range of fun, sexy adventures many people only fantasize about. And the most meaningful intimacy I experience is when I’m emotionally close and committed with my partner.

15. I’ve experienced what it’s like to die (and also to be in the womb). Dying was effortless and peaceful. The womb was claustrophobic. During this deep hypnosis regression session I also realized our soul is eternal, having experienced these portals numerous times. I no longer fear death.
