Astrology entered my life as a teenager. It became a serious hobby in college. In graduate school I started studying it deliberately; taking classes, learning technique, integrating it alongside my philosophical and religious studies. It stopped being casual and became disciplined.

I now teach religious studies and philosophy at a boarding school in New England. I love teaching! It has trained me to hold complexity without theatrics, to speak precisely, and to respect the real conditions under which people try to understand their lives. I bring the same ethic to my astrology work.

I've also spent years in therapy given my upbringing. I owe much of my integration, restraint, and clarity to that process. I don't conflate astrology with therapy, and I don't attempt to replace it. I share this because I believe that 

Over the years I've also worked with Ayurveda, womb centered bodywork, and craniosacral therapy. I've explored Vedic astrology and studied some of its techniques. These haven't been professional trainings, by any means, but ways of deepening my relationship to embodiment and pattern. They taught me that understanding doesn't only happen through thought alone (as someone who is deeply intellectual!)

I read charts because I'm interested in how people meet themselves over time. I consider it an honor to sit with people in that process.
