Personally

I’m a woman, wife, and mother to two young boys.

I’m part indigenous and grew up on the Tulalip reservation. As a white-passing Indigenous woman, I’m learning to embrace the complexities of my indigenous and European lineages.

I’m very spiritual, I feel connected to the Creator/God, ancestors, and Mother Earth.

I’m a slow learner. I had a learning disability while growing up in the school system, and I don’t feel like the traditional school system helped me learn in the way I needed. Although I feel the school system failed me, I found a way to overcome challenges and went on to complete higher education degrees.

I had a sovereign birth of my second son and birthed him at home without the support of a medically trained midwife. I had my husband and my birth witness. I trusted my instincts and leaned on ancestral wisdom.

I’m a homemaker, and love making sourdough, kombucha, and nutrient-dense dishes.

I believe in free speech and letting women and mothers make choices on behalf of their bodies and their children.

I have been deprogramming myself from my own family of origin, the educational system, the medical system, and the religious dogmatic belief system. While I am allowing what’s helpful from these systems, I am also letting go of what’s unhelpful to myself, my children, and my future grandchildren.

I love creating villages and communities with like-minded women, mothers, and people.

I love being of service to humanity regardless of someone’s sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religion, class, etc.
