I created Softening Studio because I'm so passionate about creating spaces for healing, connection and community. I decided to bring all of my skills together from a variety of healing modalities, spiritual practices and philosophies into one place so folks could find a safe place to find ease and relaxation while connecting with others.

I'm an astrologer and writer with comprehensive training as an astrologer, oracle and tarot reader, Reiki master teacher and yoga teacher. I’ve been working in spirituality and wellness services for over 10 years, learning and practicing a variety of healing modalities, spiritual practices, and philosophies to support the well-being of myself and others.

And for you astrology lovers, I'm Sagittarius Sun, Sagittarius Moon and Cancer Rising, with a stellium in Sagittarius in my 6th house (including Mercury!). So yeah, I'm big on health and wellness and routines and rituals to support them. My stellium has played a major role in my work, service and careers. It's been my guiding light when I get lost, my north star when I need to get back on my path.

We would love for you to join us at Softening Studio!
