I am ancestor-taught.

Sobonfu Somé

While I’ve had a few impactful living teachers, my most steady guides in my personal and collective healing endeavors are my ancestors; a potent crew of ancient and contemporary beings, human and beyond. I am grateful to be able to be in relationship and collaboration with such supportive and skilled ancestors.

My spiritual practice is rooted in the cultures of The Global South, particularly Gulf Coast Alabama and the Southeast of the US, and so Turtle Island, alongside Ayiti and the African diaspora at large.

All of my offerings are extensions of my personal healing practices, as guided by my ancestors.

Making this little one proud is my top priority.

I am in awe of the generosity of plants.

I feel at ease and quietly joyful making medicine with plants under the guidance of my ancestors. I’m at home in the apothecary.

Water is my favorite medicine.

Whether it’s a hot tub, a hot springs, a spiritual bath, or a cold plunge, I can’t get enough of the way water supports me to move it all and stay clear.

Slowing down is my super power.

I am divested from moving at the pace of capitalism and my body-mind thrives because of it. You can find me lounging in a hammock, strolling through a forest, and rarely scheduling more than one thing per day on my calendar.

I love an adventure!

There is nothing more thrilling than being on an adventure with loved ones, being romanced by the beauty of nature. Wanna woo me? Give me a cross-country road trip, some delicious snacks, deep conversation, and some unscheduled time. I’ll be putty in your hands.
