Manifesto
When I wake up in the morning, the very first thing I do is breathe and feel (I’m a sensitive soul).
My heart glows when I'm on my way to beautiful places, when I’m at home on the Pacific Ocean, and when I catch my daughter in a fit of laughter.
My heart dims when life starts to get really serious and I lose my creative spark.
My clients remind me that we’re all so different and beautiful in our own ways.
More than anything else, I care about helping them feel good about who they are at their core.
In my world, living in a beautiful environment is an absolute necessity.
I’ve found that living in a big city is totally overrated (even if your HD environment is Markets, like mine) and suburbia is a definite no for me.
Now that I’m older, I prefer to be in mountainy, foresty, oceanside towns with lots of soul (but with a city nearby that I can at least visit).
And dessert...well, that's always a fabulous idea.
Fantasizing about curling up with a cuppa, while you watch the sunset over the sea in your cozy finca in the mediterranean, is totally reasonable.
And striving for a life that allows you to fly to faraway places just to be in the presence of girlfriends is an absolute necessity.
At the end of the day, truly loving yourself, enjoying the fruits of life, and having compassion in your heart is all that really matters.
When I die, I want to be remembered as a person who lived that way.
And, most importantly, someone who inspired others to do that too.
About me:
As a mother, I write and teach from home, as well as online and all over the world.
My not-so-guilty pleasures are always having beautiful flowers + tropical plants around, delicious Hawaii-sourced dark chocolate, sitting in cafes with books, baking pretty much anything with cacao (or cheese), international travel, long visits with family + friends, any body of water, and hiking in the mountains.
I’m an introverted writer, creator, curious explorer and perpetual student of life. But, for now, I’m done with seeking. After a long run in a PhD program while simultaneously juggling parenthood, divorce, and the death of my best friend, I decided to take some time to slow down and enjoy the fruits of life again.
I began writing back in 2006, when I started a blog about untraditional motherhood on my very heavy laptop, in between travels to and from Alaska. It was called Mamma Mia, Sophia. Then, after that, I started another blog about living a nomadic life, called Nomad Girl. And then, later on, I started this website, so I could share the gifts and lessons that I’d learned through first hand experience with energy medicine, connection with nature and my Native American roots, vipassana meditation, and yoga. It was all so fun back then. Sharing our adventures and stories brought me so much joy and even helped a few others.
Then, things got pretty serious.
The unhealthy relationship dynamics (familial, friendship, and romantic) that I’d grown up normalizing finally became too much to ignore. Before I realized it though, I’d really lost touch with myself, my body, and nature. This manifested in so many different ways: perfectionism, procrastination, depression, PMS, financial struggle, incredibly low self-worth, anxiety, and creativity blocks. And, worst of all, I’d completely stopped having fun in life. I was basically a walking trauma response and I struggled to see the beauty that I’d once seen in life, no matter where I was or what I was doing.
Oh, but then my life-long best friend passed away from a rare form of brain cancer. This was the pivotal moment that caused me to question what on earth I was doing here. Everything that I’d been doing or entertaining before that seemed to be so completely unimportant. It was time to stop doing all of it. It was time to grieve and to only do what was healing and fulfilling to my soul.
My friend’s death was the rock that fell and finally broke the dam. All of the emotions that I’d been trying to suppress (or just cope with), came pouring out. And then, so did the all creativity, inspiration, zest for life, and “I don’t give a damn”-ness that I’d been holding in for years. It all finally came pouring out of me, onto the page and the canvas, and into my life.
Nothing can stop it now.

I bring all of these flavors together to create a truly unique experience and perspective for those who work with me personally or take my courses. My experience with all of these things also enables me to help you effectively apply Human Design to your unique area of expertise (find out more here) or create a very multi-faceted, well-rounded world of your business.
I was born on the Summer Solstice, on the cusp of Gemini/Cancer with Mercury + Venus also in Cancer. Aquarius Moon + Leo Rising. My Chiron + Midheaven are in Taurus. I also have 8 planets in Libra in my Human Design chart.
I’m a 2/4 Splenic Projector in traditional Human Design and a 6/2 Splenic Manifestor in my interactive chart. My Incarnation Cross is the RAX of the Vessel of Love. The dominant themes (circuitry) in my chart are Sensing and Individual. In the Gene Keys, my Life’s Work/Brand is Magnetism (Compassion) and my Purpose and Pearl are Delight (Ecstasy). My two defined Channels are the Channel of Beauty and the Channel of Curiosity/Storytelling.
The (most common) archetypes that I resonate with are: the Feminine, Romantic, Creative, Sage, Alchemist, Explorer, and Mother. I’m also a bit Maverick (it’s my Aquarius Moon). All of the archetypes are within us in some way or another, but these are the ones that I see in myself the most. I explore hundreds of other Feminine archetypes in my Feminine Human Design™ work.
In Ayurveda, my True Nature is pitta-kapha, but my main imbalances tend to be vata + pitta. This changes from time to time—we’re always changing.
I’m an Enneagram 4 and I honestly don’t know that much about it :)
I’m an INFP - Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling + Perceptive. They say that INFPs have a talent for self-expression + reveal their beauty and their secrets through poetic metaphors. Other INFPs: Princess Diana, Helen Keller, Johnny Depp, William Shakespeare, and J.R.R. Tolkien.
