A Channel of Magic, Keeper of the Ancient Future
I am a channel of magic, and to claim this truth has been a pilgrimage of the soul
For as long as I can remember, I have been attuned to my multidimensional nature. Growing up on the fringes of cultural norms, I struggled with inadequacy and the constraints of labels—something that speaks to my Aquarian South Node. But what has always remained true is my deep communion with the elements. The natural world embraces both the dark and the light, and my work is rooted in this sacred remembrance: the human body as a living temple, the wisdom of our starline and bloodline Ancestors, the rhythms of the Cosmos, and the infinite Source of God(dess).Â
I am the founder of GOLDEN GATE ESOTERKA, an Ancient Future Mystery School where astrology, cosmology, and sacred pilgrimage weave together to guide transformation. As an interdisciplinary artist, astrologer, cosmic high priestess, consciousness midwife, pilgrimage steward, and healer, I have spent over 31 years as a star keeper and hold an MA in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology from The Sophia Centre at the University of Wales. My studies and initiations have been deeply influenced by wisdom keepers and master teachers such as Malidoma Somé, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Hank Wesselman, Deborah Houlding, Demetra George, Aviva Romm, and Jeffrey Yuen.
My astrology practice—Goddess Astrology—is an alchemical blend of ancient and modern Western astrological techniques designed to activate the Ancient Future Source Frequency within you. These sessions go beyond divination, opening a portal of healing and magic to help you remember who you truly are. With over 17 years of professional transformative work, I provide more than insight—I offer the remedy, the elixir, the panacea for deep integration through ceremony, meditation, movement, myth, and sacred rhythms.
Since 2017, I have led annual pilgrimages to Avalon, the South of France, and Kemet (Ancient Egypt). These journeys are not mere travel immersions; they are realms within realms, each encoded with sacred frequencies that awaken the portals of the Earth and the human spirit. My time in Kemet has profoundly shaped me, and I am currently writing a book about the transcendental transformation that unfolds within these sacred landscapes.
We are in a revolutionary era of reclaiming power across multiple timelines. The chaos and distortion of this age seek to fragment humanity, yet we are here to weave a new story—one of divine love, remembrance, and regeneration. My work is a living prayer for embodied leadership, guiding those who are ready to step into their authentic power.
Through GOLDEN GATE ESOTERKA, I offer a living library of signature courses—including EarthSeed and Skywalkers—alongside Goddess Astrology 1:1 Sessions, The Chalice, a private women’s community, and my deepest initiatory path Grail Quest. These sacred spaces are designed to unlock the codes of your soul’s divine blueprint, your eternal essence.
I am dedicated to holding spaces of grace, integrity, and sacred reciprocity, honoring the hierosgamos—the divine union of truth. Each offering is a pilgrimage, an initiation, a return to the Mystery so that you may navigate the unknown with confidence, clarity, and embodied sovereignty.
If you have read this far, you are ready.
The path is open. Step into the field of remembrance.
I invite you to only enter this field if you desire a lasting metamorphosis, as there is no going back.Â
I will transform you into another dimension, a space where together we will divine your original blueprint. As you land back into your reality, your vessel will be forever regenerated.
Take my hand Beloved…
