Feral Wellness
Feral is defined as a being that lives in the wild despite having descended from domesticated individuals.
I long to return to different ways of being despite having settler ancestors who benefited from colonization and indigenous erasure.
My heart is rooted in decolonization and collective healing. The work is slow, relational, and wholistic.
This includes acknowledging the influences your environment, relationships, and society has on your wellbeing.
I strive to help cultivate the ability to listen deeply and develop a loving relationship with your body, trusting its innate wisdom— where you can move beyond the imperialist capitalist trap of treating it like a resource to be extracted from for profit.
Let’s return to the wild ways of healing.

I am a mother, nature enthusiast, raver, artist, and lover of the unseen world.
An early interest in healing the body lead me in 2010 at 20 years old, to study Integrative Massage Therapy at Boulder College of Massage. I then moved to Oakland, CA and had a profound experience with tibetan singing bowls that lead me to seek out the Globe Institute of Sound and Consciousness. After graduation, continued learning through a mentorship with a acupuncturist. I got my set of tuning forks in 2013 and integrated them into my blossoming massage practice called at the time, Harmonic Massage.
In the years to follow, my path meandered as it does in your 20s and I went to festivals, studied permaculture and natural building, worked on pot farms all along the west coast, wandered the world, and eventually landed in Portland, Oregon working as a tiny home builder. I got pregnant and had a baby during the pandemic in 2020.
In those formative years of self exploration, where I focused my energy shifted often, but my interest in somatics, psychedelics, and sound remained constant. A full-time return to the healing arts was inspired by pregnancy, birth, and motherhood.
Feral Wellness opened in 2023. In the same year I did a state sanctioned Psilocybin Facilitator Training Program with The Alma Institute.
In 2024 I took a Somatic Parts Work Training with Embody Lab, which I am slowly starting to integrate more into my practice. I also took a Somatic Psychedelic Facilitator Course with Embody Lab, and later in the year a Myofascial Release Training with Moving Mountain Institute.
My practice is a culmination not just of my trainings, but of all my experiences. I am a lifelong learner and enthusiastic student of life.
