It began being a spaz talking to trees, led to alcoholism. Then talking to plants again & realizing the psychedelic movement is toxic and herbal allies are our true source of subtle power. 

I grew up in a utopian society where there was more green space in relation to human space by design. There were walking paths that led you wherever you needed to go.

My atheist, 2nd-generation Russian father, a Flatbush resident, an independent, first-generation college student, and one who was ready to leave the hood for the proverbial greener pastures, taught me how to listen to my intuition, which he called learned intelligence. He was all about not making the same mistakes over again, but learning from life. 

My Catholic, Afro-Indigenous Mother, DC born, independent, warrior who was also the first to go to college in our family, met my Father in Rock Creek Park, where one of the greatest rivers flows through our nation’s capital. 

The two of them instilled in me the typical “American Dream”: go to school, get good grades, get a stable job, and you’ll be safe for the rest of your life. 

But that life led to my abusing alcohol because of the abuse doled out in my family, left and right—physical & unseen pressures for perfection. Yet, at the same time, there’s plenty of time to explore nature and be weird. 

That’s where I learned how to walk as a contradiction in life, fully turned on and spaztic about possibilities. 

As someone who fought and won a battle against addiction, I took control of my body and relieved it of stress, anxiety, and unhealthy practices by unearthing the deep-rooted benefits of Herbalism.

That happened because I realized you could earn a Master’s in Herbalism, and I found my calling — to be an herbalist. I just knew that all my plant talk and weird behavior as a child had a place in the world. 

However, I had to go through so much to get there. 

I’ve been called selfish, too independent, too much, and too wild. All the shame and guilt around living my full potential led me to abuse myself through alcohol. It dumbed and numbed me from the light that radiated outwards, blinding the world with TOO MUCH. 

I spent countless days in depression, and panic attacks, allowing my trauma to rule my decisions and crippling self-doubt to cloud my judgment, only to realize I had to change.

I achieved healing by pairing yoga and meditation with psychedelics and plant medicines to experience the best behavioral and bodily changes. Adopting herbs saved my life and boosted my confidence and energy levels as I identified my genuine relationship with the earth.

The resulting transformation encouraged me to explore the professional realm of plant medicines and meditation. 

The biggest truth in my work came through in 2017 during a vision quest when I realized the reason I wasn’t falling for the PSYCHEDELIC TRAP, even though I was a part of the problem, was my relationship to herbal allies. 

I realized that I had been on track for my subtle healing, and that was the real medicine I needed and the world needed too. 

I remembered that being TOO MUCH, selfish, neurodivergent behavior, and full of creative zest was my superpower and that my dream job as a girl was to make people’s dreams come true — to be that person who follows their intuition even when everyone thinks you’re crazy. 

I’m here to be your biggest cheerleader, lift you, and knock out the personal naysayer ruling your life decisions. You need permission to be your whole, authentic self and shine brightly.

This is not about bulldozing others—it’s about becoming a beacon that permits those around you to be true to themselves. Let your gift be seen in the world.

I’m here to tap into the innocence of our child-like nature that wants to shine through, believe in the impossible, and create a better future for the generations after you.
