Welcome to More Aliveness + Feet on the Earth Spirituality +
The body as primary material, the primary source.The body as an archive.
The architecture of a body.The architecture of trauma. How the body is always reaching for homeostasis, for medicine. How sometimes the medicine is poison, sometimes the poison, medicine.
Sometimes it’s as simple and as complex as finding the right dose, the right practitioner, the right place to remember, reconnect, and return to the wisdom of the body.
My work as a practitioner is to help you hold the heavy, to support you moving towards more presence and aliveness even, and most especially when, the world is hard to be in. We are here to be alive, to feel the fullness of aliveness.
To hold it all in a single hand.
UPCOMING VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
In these times of increasing violence and collapse, how’s your breath feeling? How’s your relationship to yourself and others feeling? Is it possible to feel more alive and present to this complex world? Is it possible your breath holds the key to more aliveness and presence? YES, my friends, it is.
Transformational Breathwork is the conscious practice of engaging the breath to support the nervous system, feel and process emotion, and access deeper states of awareness, consciousness, and interconnection. It doesn’t require fancy equipment, perfect conditions, or even words. Just your body, your breath, and your willingness to engage in presence and practice.
Open to experienced folks + brand new alike!

Formulated for stress and tension headaches, this tincture helps reduce tightness and pain in head, neck, and shoulders leading to less disruption throughout your day. With calming and soothing nervous system supportive herbs like wood betony, linden, and skullcap, this tincture also calls on the pain reducing support of feverfew and coyote willow. Willow has salicin as a part of it’s makeup which is a chemical similar to aspirin. Feverfew is tried and true for headaches and migraines. This formula is of course not a pharmaceutical but rather a gentle formula with wide use. It may not always completely disappear the pain (but why not give it a chance!) but will hopefully allow it to be more manageable.
Taken a couple/ few times in the first hour of a headache, it is intended to reduce the impact and pain of the headache.
You can also take it daily as a preventative to help reduce the frequency of headaches. Taken regularly over time, it might also be supportive for migraines and hormonal headaches too.
Because you will want to take this in multiple doses when the pain is acute or you will be taking daily as a preventative, this is available in 2oz and 4oz only.

“I tend to get a lot of headaches in hotter weather and I was recently traveling in a climate that is much hotter than I’m used to and this tincture helped me have an enjoyable vacation totally headache free! And recently, in the week after my cycle when I can get headaches more often, one started coming on and taking this tincture three times over the course of an hour helped to keep it at bay enough for me to get through my day. Super appreciative for this lovely blend!”— Amy

keywords: protection in the underworld, trust in liminal times, + faith in the rebirth
color: indigo clouds + yellow beams of crisp, cool light
anthem: “The Mapmaker” Mother Juniper
season: a dark, cold winter’s night
vision: at the edge of a cliff, a portal to the next world
This flower essence formula is for the crossroads of change inspired by the energy of Hecate, guardian of thresholds and liminal spaces, and Hag stones with their protection magic and keyhole view. When the familiar falls away and uncertainty stirs fear and “what ifs,” this essence offers both torchlight and a clarifying lens through the portal— guiding each step with enough light to trust the near future and the assurance that what we need to reach the next world will be provided.
Datura helps us to open to trust as the familiar falls away and makes way for what better serves, the sweet and the bitter of life and loss. Fireweed is the bloom that grows from the ashes, promises of resilience and regeneration. Monkshood reminds us of our intuition and courage as we stabilize after the shock of endings. Periwinkle helps us sort through and integrate any wisdom from the past to come with us into the next world, linking us to memory, lineage, and cycles. Coralroot connects us to the hidden networks of support— ancestral, communal, and ecological— reminding us we are not alone in the dark but a part of an interdependent web. Hawthorn Thorn offers protection, helping us maintain clear and compassionate boundaries while crossing thresholds. Apple Blossom reminds us to trust the timing of our lives, brings reassurance, sweetness, and reciprocity in the rebirth.
Together, these essences invite us to more fully enter and trust the portal: a medicine of protection, clarity, and resilience for those moving between worlds, navigating transitions, or standing at a crossroads in life.
This flower essence formula can be taken under the tongue, in a glass of water, on the skin, or even in a bath. It’s great to work with in conjunction with and ritual or personal practices you already have.
“Between Worlds has been a beautiful supportive friend the last couple of weeks. The first time I took it I had the feeling of a strong hand at my back."-- Kate

There are two kinds of suffering. The kind that you turn and face, and the kind that you run from that follows you everywhere.
