about

Long Version…

I was born in the Midwest, moved as a teenager to the east coast when my father was transferred at work; and then at 18 moved to the west coast with my boyfriend at the time.  A few things I’ve pursued most of my life have been roller-skating and astrology.  For unknown reasons I was attracted to both those things from a young age.  I was constantly trying to drag unwilling friends to the local skating rink or skating in friends basements.   

I randomly picked up an astrology book as a child & found it fascinating.  I don’t remember the title of that first book, but I’d always look for more astrology books in the school library; there weren’t many in those days.  My family never understood my interests; they didn’t come from them.  My parents were working class and had more practical interests.

At 19 I discovered Venice Beach and instantly loved it, this was in the mid-80’s.  Seeing the skaters at Venice, I felt like I’d found my people.  I was skating every weekend from sun up till sun down.  During the week I was working as a bookkeeper for a jewelry manufacturer & reading astrology books at night. 

In 1989 I got my first opportunity to skate professionally.  A group of us that skated at Venice were paid to perform at a festival in Nagoya, Japan.  When I got back I formed a skating group called the Midnight Sun.  We only performed one charity event before the group decided they wanted to go in a different creative direction & I was pushed out of my own group.

In the early 90’s I first started working as an astrologer.  I worked out of the Phoenix Bookstore in Santa Monica & a couple different psychic lines.  I drifted away from astrology after a couple years to pursue more creative impulses.  I started writing poetry, painting, sculpting, making jewelry and blowing glass.  I would also go on any skating auditions that might come up.  It was mostly background skating in various infomercials, music videos & a few TV shows.  I found it easier to fund my interests doing freelance accounting to pay the bills. 

In the 2000’s I joined Steven Forrest’s southern California AP group.  In astrology I’d always been more interested in exploring the soul.  Evolutionary astrology is a good fit for that.  This is also when I first started going to Burning Man.  A skating friend talked me into going because a mutual friend from San Francisco had started running a camp there.  Black Rock Roller Disco.  It was a magical place; we would build a wooden skating rink in the desert.  Skating 24/7 for a week.  There’s nothing like skating in the desert looking out at the surrounding mountains at sunrise.  Burning Man is where my interest in fire dancing began.

The next 15 or so years I became more immersed in Burning Man.  I volunteered as a Ranger, Green Dot, Sandman, Temple Guardian and performed in Conclave.  I Rangered at regional events.  And, I became more interested cirque.  I started with cyr wheel and acro yoga, then added static trapeze and silks.

Then in 2014 I was involved in a car accident that changed my life and sent me on a healing journey.  I was rear-ended while sitting at a stop light.  I was knocked unconscious for a short time.  At first I thought I was basically ok, nothing was broken aside from the car.  Over the next couple months it became clear there was something very wrong.  When something is missing it’s much harder to realize.  I looked normal.  My vision had become slightly blurry, I needed reading glasses now.  But my eyes no longer watered when cutting onions.  I didn’t know I’d cut myself until I could see blood.  The slow realization… I couldn’t feel anything on my body.  I couldn’t feel heat; smell, touch, everything was off.

Then started all the tests, full body MRI’s. CAT scans, x-ray’s.  Initially everything came back normal.  It was decided I had a concussion & it was head trauma related.  There were no answers.  A neurologist told me whatever feeling I had after 6 months would be permanent.  They didn’t have any treatment for concussions. 

After 2 years my lab results are starting to come back abnormal.  I’m getting urinary & kidney infections.  The doctors didn’t initially believe it was a kidney infection because it should be really painful.  I didn’t realize there was a problem till there was blood in my urine.  The doctors never were able to wrap their heads around me saying I can’t feel anything.  They measure health by how much pain you are in.  They couldn’t find an explanation for my lack of sensation so they decided it was in my head. 

On my birthday in 2016 I realized I needed to find an answer for myself or I wouldn’t be alive very many more years.  By this time my lab results are very abnormal; I have digestive problems & sleep apnea.  The only answer western medicine had is drugs to make the test results more normal. 

The journey of alternative medicine began…. A functional medicine doctor sent me to a NUCCA chiropractor that specializes in upper cervical.  My underlying problem was found.  C1 was badly out of place, cutting off my brainstem but not enough to paralyze me.  They started slowing moving the vertebrae back into place.  My neck was extremely unstable & constantly moved back out of place.  It took over a year of constant adjustments for it to finally start to stabilize.  During this time feeling in my body would go in & out.  There was a blackberry bush with thorns in my yard I used to grab in the morning to gauge how I was doing.  Some mornings I could feel it & other days I couldn’t.  I remember one day thinking something was in my shoe & kept taking it off to look.  Then I realized I was feeling the texture of my sock; it had been so long since I could feel anything when sensation did start coming back it was foreign and confusing.  While sensation was improving; I felt weak & dizzy a lot of the time and had very limited energy.  The underlying structural issue had been solved but I felt like a battery that had lost its charge.  I needed to find ways to heal my organs & get my energy back.

I tried a lot of different things.  Chinese herbal medicine and altering my diet helped the digestive problems.  Sound therapy fixed the sleep apnea.  I’ve done magnetic therapy, acupuncture, massage, float therapy, biofeedback, various Rife based frequency devices, BioGeomety^®, muscle testing, red light therapy and the list goes on.  Everything helped a little.  For me sound & BioGeomety^® were the most impactful.  Then covid hit.

Like a good portion of the country, I lost my job and rethought life.  I thought about going back to astrology as a profession but wanted a better rounded background in it. I became interested in learning about medical astrology given what I had just gone through. I learned about ancient astrology, Hellenistic and horary techniques because I knew that would help me understand medical astrology better.  Lee Lehman & Will Morris became invaluable to me in those areas.  I spent 3 years learning vibrational astrology.  I also started learning Acutonics^® because it’s a sound healing modality that utilizes astrology.  I also continued with BioGeomety^® because it’s such a helpful environmental solution.

Coming up to the present.  I’m now a certified associate practitioner in both Acutonics^® & BioGeomety^® at home solutions.  I’d like to use my own experiences to help people that might be going through their own confusing times or need help harmonizing their home environment.

I have a separate website for my BioGeomety^® services.
