Journey with me
The quality I bring..
My approach to essence companionship has been shaped by my own slow unfolding and years of listening to my body's wisdom, learning to live receptivity alongside creativity, and discovering essence qualities through patient recognition.
What I offer is presence, deep listening, and the capacity to companion you as you discover essence qualities in your own experience, through your senses, and through the particular qualities of your awareness.
This work asks for patience. It honors complexity and paradox and it trusts the slow unfolding. It's both cultivating essence qualities that help meet your parts and allowing what wants to emerge rather than forcing outcomes. If you're drawn to this way of essence knowing itself through subtle recognition - then we might be a good fit.
My Ongoing Inquiry
I companion from a place of ongoing discovery..
My own practice includes daily meadowtations - my walks in the valley, noticing essence qualities through my body, the land, the light, and in the way I meet these. Gardening, as a way of tending soul through tending soil. An ongoing dialogue with my Inner Mentor. Creative expression which includes cooking, writing, art, dancing, and making things in the workshop. Embodied inquiry, listening to my body and honouring my nervous system. And contemplative study through a wisdom group, engaging with developmental frameworks and the perennial philosophy.
What This Work Is
Rather than being about getting a better life, manifesting desires, or solving problems - though clarity, breakthroughs, and life changes often arise naturally.
This journey is about essence recognizing its own qualities - qualities like spaciousness, clarity, aliveness, wholeness - and the joy of that recognition. It is about coming into coherence, and living from there.
I find that when essence knows itself more fully, everything shifts - but the shift is a byproduct of recognition, not the goal.
This Is For You If..
You're drawn to slow, embodied unfolding rather than quick transformation.
If you sense that what you're seeking is already here, waiting to be recognized.
If you value relational companionship over expert advice.
If you're curious about essence qualities as lived experience rather than concept.
And if you're comfortable with the work being subtle, mysterious, and unfolding in its own time.
Ways to Work Together

A taste of this work
Whether you're curious about what this path is, or exploring if companionship is right for you, this session offers a direct recognition of your essence qualities through your senses.
Single or package sessions available..
Individual Companionship
Extended journeying for those navigating transformation
I journey alongside you as you discover, and live from, your unique essence qualities. Over time, recognizing in deeper ways what's already here, and allowing your life come into coherence with that.
Practitioner Companionship
For therapists, coaches, spiritual directors and teachers
What if you could invite your clients to recognize specific flavors of their essence, qualities like spaciousness, clarity, aliveness, with precision and poetry in the work you already do?
This companionship helps you come into more coherence with Essence in your own life, and to then offer essence quality recognition as a living thread woven through your existing work..
In person Creative retreats
Two-day creative retreats for women
Held in the relaxed and spacious setting of Peacemakers retreat center, these retreats are designed for you to explore your creativity at your own pace. Facilitated by myself, Shannon and Rose. A different container for essence exploration through art, writing, nature, and community.
A Note on My Capacity
I hold a maximum of 5 companionships at any time (individual and practitioner combined) to ensure each person receives the depth of attention this work asks for. If you're feeling called to this work, I encourage you to reach out - spaces are limited and I work with people as capacity allows.
The essence-way isn't for everyone. But if it speaks to you - if you feel that quiet recognition of "yes, this" - then I'd be honored to walk alongside you for a while.
