Astrology Coaching

I always say the earth saved me.

After the trauma of being molested by my father, I moved to Aspen, Colorado, where I found refuge in nature. Walking the hillside behind my home, I felt safe. Calm. Grounded. I felt connected at a time when I had lost the ability to feel myself at all.

As I entered adulthood, I spent thousands of dollars and countless hours in therapy. I could name every diagnosis I carried. I understood my problems inside and out — but I still lived with severe anxiety and debilitating depression

Awareness gave me understanding, but not freedom.

My days swung between anxiety-fueled overdoing and shame-filled depression — crashed in bed, binging TV, secretly smoking cigarettes, gorging on junk food, trying not to feel anything. That cycle of overcompensating and collapsing shaped much of my adult life.

I tried everything: alternative therapies, self-help books, diets, supplements, rigid practices, Eastern and Western disciplines, meditation, exercise, 12-step programs — nothing helped long term.

With a lot of Virgo in my chart, I went all in every time, following each teaching to the letter until the unsustainability crushed me. Overwhelmed I’d crawl back into bed — remote (or later, iPad) in hand — nicotine excess, Snickers, barbecue chips staining my fingers, judging myself as a complete failure.

But there was never anything wrong with me.

None of those external practices could address the real issue: the childhood beliefs I formed while trying to survive abuse and stay safe. My childhood self wasn’t broken — she was brilliant. She survived.

I didn’t need more discipline, willpower, or the “right” program. I needed to go beneath my behavior and into the unconscious beliefs where my adult self and my childhood self were both stuck.

I needed tools to uncover those limiting beliefs so my adult self could finally get back in the driver’s seat.

That’s what coaching gave me.

After everything I had tried, it felt miraculous — and surprisingly simple. Not always comfortable, and it required courage, but it was far easier than rigid diets or meditating three times a day, which only made me more anxious.

Coaching showed me a new way of being with myself. It gave me a practical toolkit to work with unconscious beliefs and move through them. It brought me back to my real self — honest, authentic, messy imperfections and all. I no longer had to hide in secret shame because I finally understood: I wasn’t broken.

Now, I use these same tools, grounded in astrology, to help women do the same.

This work isn’t hard, but it does require willingness and courage. Unearthing unconscious beliefs can be uncomfortable and emotional, yet the steps are clear, concrete, and manageable.

My work is grounded, practical, and gentle — and it creates traction quickly through your own doing. I’m not here to tell you what to do. I’m here to guide you toward your own authentic answers. Your power lives there.

I’m your guide because I’ve walked this path myself — and I continue to walk it every day. I’m not a sage above you. I’m right here beside you.

If you’re curious about working together, I recommend starting with a single astrology coaching session. You can learn more about those sessions here. Let’s see what’s possible when you start moving in the direction you most want to go.

I am certified in astrology through the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School, and I work as an alchemical astrologer—focused on personal transformation, soul purpose, and the living rhythms of the cosmos reflected in your chart.

I am certified as a life coach through the Levin Life Coaching Academy, with hundreds of hours of training from one of the most rigorous life coaching programs available.

I’ve collected more than my share of certifications over the years — health, nutrition, exercise, natural medicine, and beyond. I don’t lead with letters after my name anymore, but the learning stayed.

I’m also a writer, with a weekly astrology coaching column in The Aspen Times. You can read some recent columns under my blog.
