Short and sweet
I was depressed, drowning in anxiety, ignoring my emotions, crippled in self loathing and numb to it all. Then one day I woke up and started fighting to feel better. I discovered painting and dance, worked with therapists and mentors, I did everything that made me uncomfortable to get here. Now I am being called to share my medicine with you.
A bit more
Just your average girl. I was doing what I thought I needed to do. Go to college, get the job, find the man, get married, have the kids….. er. Ok, I didn’t get that far. Actually shortly after I got married we hit the road and lived in a camper for 4 years. That’s when my life started getting away from the “norm”. Living on the road was beautiful and escapism at its best. Turns out, I was ignoring myself, my needs, my emotions, which made me not the greatest partner or friend. How could I show up for anyone, when I couldn’t even show up for myself. Depression was huge, I was stuck in a box in my chest, and I didn’t have the self awareness to see it. Covid happened, which forced us to come to our land in Michigans Upper Peninsula.
This is when my healing journey really began. Our life went from moving every two weeks, to solitude in an incredibly small town where the closest grocery store was 40 minutes away. I know Covid was scary and confronting for so many of us, and I was no acception. Mom diagnosed with cancer, several family members died, I got divorced, I felt lower than I have ever felt, but I finally found purpose. My store, Drift Alchemy. I opened it during Covid, just as things were opening up again. My guiding light, my safe space through the storm. Drift is a place for healing, I was selling crystals, books, tarot cards and other sacred tools that were helping me in my journey. Beautiful people came to me, sharing their stories that helped me along my journey as well. We were all growing together, finding out how to live.
I moved into a small cottage in the woods, traveled to far away lands to learn from mentors, I sat with my darkness, I learned how to care for myself, I expressed myself through painting, I found dance as a release outlet, I learned how to love myself, best of all, I learned that I deserve magic. So much healing work and my community came to me. I am surrounded by so much love now, more than I could ever imagine. Drift has become a safe haven for more than just me and that is such an honor.
I continue to grow and to follow the path of trusting the universe, which is leading me here to this moment you read this. I am here to share my gifts with you, to help you to awaken to your gifts, so the cycle can continue. We all have an important mission on this earth, and it is another purpose of mine to assist those who align with me. Whether it be an intuitive painting, guidance sessions, readings, or mentorship- I am here to be of service now. I look forward to meeting you.
