Welcome. I'm so glad you're here.

Hummingbird House is the work of my heart — shaped by years of listening, tending, and walking alongside others.

I am a mother, partner, sister, daughter, and friend. I've spent my life supporting others through change, loss, and new beginnings. Over time, I've come to trust that the deepest wisdom is already within us.

I offer this work as someone who has sat with grief, walked through change, and witnessed transformation in its many wild and tender forms. My approach is rooted in deep presence, intuitive listening, and respect for the wisdom already within you.

I draw from a rich weave of training and lived experience. I studied Reiki with Colleen Benelli of Reiki Lifestyle in Portland, one of the most respected Reiki Master Teachers in the field. I received my Spiritual Direction certification through the Urban Spirituality Center in Portland, under Fr. Jim Galluzzo, an author and founder whose work is rooted in liberation, dignity, and the deep tending of the soul. My craniosacral therapy training is ongoing with Carol Gray at the Carol Gray Center for CST Studies in Portland — a leader in bringing CST into prenatal and infant care. I completed a clinical mentorship with Jen Holland, founder of The Baby Listening Method. Her approach taught me to recognize what babies are communicating through their bodies and behaviors, and gave me a deeper understanding of infant nervous system organization and practical ways to support them. I also trained in Inner Relationship Focusing with Paula M Gamble of My Soul reFresh, a Focusing-Oriented Spiritual Director whose work invites us to listen to the wisdom of the whole body. In addition, I spent years teaching Prek-12, and have worked as a birth doula and childbirth educator. These threads — body, soul, learning, and accompaniment — are woven into everything I offer.

Outside of this work, you'll find me outdoors — hiking, gardening, tide pooling, or tending to our backyard flock of chickens and several beehives. I share my daily life with my husband, our children, a bunny, three cats, and a very lovable dog. I find joy in singing, cooking, traveling, community, ritual, live music, and reading almost anything I can get my hands on.
