I’m so grateful to sit in the forgotten seat.
I have been many things in this lifetime: musician, writer, designer, teacher, curator of old & Earthen things…
Today, I add the words psychic, ceremonialist, energy worker, medium, & intuitive to the list. The one I hold most dear is Mother.
In the Summer of 2018, I was excommunicated from the fundamentalist Christian church, which was also my primary source for spiritual connection, community, & belonging since birth. I was expelled on the account of an unplanned pregnancy out of wedlock.
This is where my story of initiation begins. You can listen to all of it here + here.
I give birth to my daughter on November 10, 2018. A month later, I graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Marketing. Instead of diving head-first into the corporate world, I was blessed to spend the next year simply being Kora’s mom. Then, the entire world shut down in 2020, and we were all faced to confront our deepest truths about life / reality.
What’s actually most important to me?
Is this really how I want to live out my days?
Why are we doing it this way, anyway?
This is when I began to study psychic development, discover that I had my own Earth-based spirituality, return to the practices of my ancestors, train my intuition, & learn real energy work.
In my return to ancestral spiritual practices, I learned my paternal lineage is rich with land tenders, folk magicians, mediums, community facilitators, & ritualists (popularly known as Babaylan in the Filipino spiritual community today). Our traditions were kept alive for generations. I believe these are the ancestors who called me to this reclamation.
Most recently, on my maternal side are Catholics. This side of my lineage is held together by ruthlessly resourceful women - ambitious, fierce survivors. In turning towards the catholicism found here, I receive the healing & gift of the eyes to see the mysticism within biblical lore & tradition.
Over the last half-decade, with the help and support of teachers, mentors, friends, & loved ones, I have created a life & business that honors my nature. I get to create offerings with my spiritual gifts and support badass entrepreneurs in the building of their own.
It is an honor to serve you and the spirits of your visions. Thank you for choosing to walk with me in this way.

ETHICS OF PRACTICE
Good spiritual hygiene: It is important that I come into ceremonial space as cleansed, clear, coherent, and boundaried as possible. What you receive and experience within a session space is the result of years in practice, training, trying, & failing. Please respect how this is factored in to the investment you are making when you decide to work with me.
I am human. I will make mistakes. I have shadows that I will forever dance with. I do not claim to have perfect wisdom, absolute truth, or higher moral standing than anyone.
My beliefs are ever-changing and ever-challenged. I believe truth to be an expression of one’s own essence. It is important to me that I remain in the practice of deconditioning and distance myself from cult consciousness & the mind-control programming that is pervasive in many religious and spiritual communities.
My business is my divine assignment here on Earth.
I do not represent any one organization, church, dogma, belief system, or religion. Though I do believe tradition and lineage are important and to be respected, I also believe there lies a wisdom tradition within our very own blood lines, waiting to be awoken and brought to the surface. My work is a mosaic of what + who lives in my bones, married with reverent studies of other living wisdom streams, belief systems, and modalities I have the privilege of gaining access to.
To stay current with my own practice, I regularly invest in learning new frameworks, tools, systems, and from teachers whose work resonate with me. You can read more about who / what these are here.
I do not have any Reiki certifications or ‘degree’ in any energy healing modalities.
Boundaries are key to keeping a clear channel. I do not follow my clients on social media, but I may pop-in and view your stories every now and then, if you watch mine. I regularly follow + unfollow people for this reason. This is how I keep healthy separation. Thank you for understanding.
