I transmute what most people swallow: addiction, trauma, and the erasure of mothers. As a multidisciplinary artist and Portal Mother, I use somatic movement, the magic of my Celtic ancestors, and writing to uplift and empower the artist within us all.

Ah, you found me!
My work turns grief into glimmer, trauma into comedy, silence into unapologetic voice. Offstage, I midwife the rebirth of artists (especially moms and late bloomers) through coaching, facilitating workshops, burlesque, pole, storytelling, yoga, and ceremony.
After a near-death experience leading to an artistic rebirth at 34, I started producing and performing in shows in NYC, wrote and produced a one-woman show that recently debuted internationally, and danced on tour with Snoop Dogg. My work is deeply rooted in body, memory, future-casting, and strange personal rites of passage.
I create portals where audiences witness transformation and laugh at the absurdity of life. My current community project is The Portal House: a creative sanctuary for mothers in RVA.
We are not here to mindlessly scroll Instagram, endure jobs that drain us, and numb ourselves with Netflix before repeating the cycle. We are here to cradle our deepest desires, to speak them boldly into the void, and to embody the lives we truly deserve.
So, I ask you: What will you do with your precious portal of a life?
Music
Where the beat meets folk, lyrics float.
The sky ignites her vision: she remembers in moons.
It is possible to feel and heal AND own your power. YOU choose when, where, and how to share yourself.
