Frequently asked questions

Ever wonder what charges my full-spectrum support!? Take a swim into my energetic natal blueprint:

The Dive: I’m a Human Design Manifesting Generator (Mani-Gen) who creates from the Solar Plexus chakra = I guide with deep emotional intuition and sensitive, powerful energy! The Deep: An intense trio of a Pisces Sun ☀︎ i.e. an abyssal core of empathy, Libra Moon ☽ i.e. conscious vs. unconscious balance, and Scorpio Rising ⬆ i.e. aligned in many seen/unseen life phases, transformative protection. The Wavelengths: Driven by Life Path Number 8, I am built for ongoing leadership and manifestation. Plus, my communication range is amplified by an active Throat Chakra—like a mermaid's and/or siren's gift. My soothing alto voice is perfectly tuned to anchor you in strengthening one's complete journey from prenatal to perinatal and postpartum phases.
