Love as Orientation
Love is a noun, a verb, and an orientation, a way of moving through the world.
It is not a possession or a fleeting emotion, but a current that runs through everything. It is the deepest truth I know: a fog, a breath, a presence that permeates life.My work is rooted at the meeting point of truth and love, where integrity meets devotion and presence becomes action. This is the compass I return to in writing, teaching, and movement, the practice of turning toward the world with love as ground, love as motion, and love as direction.
My Journey
I didn’t arrive at this work through one path—I followed many threads. I’ve always been a watcher, a questioner, someone who needed to understand what was underneath the surface. That instinct led me through psychology, mythology, dance, motherhood, and spiritual study—not in neat stages, but in loops and spirals. I didn’t just study theory; I lived it.
I began as a dancer and teacher, trained in classical ballet and deeply influenced by the musical and narrative power of movement. Over time, I became less interested in performance and more drawn to what was happening underneath—how movement could become a doorway into presence, memory, and healing. This shifted my approach from technique-driven instruction to what I now call Embodied Threads: a devotional, somatic-based ballet curriculum that honors the inner experience as much as the outer form.
Parallel to that journey, I became a mother. Parenting broke me open in both humbling and holy ways. It demanded I revisit my own childhood, re-parent myself, and begin to see development not as a race, but as a sacred unfolding. I discovered Waldorf education and began studying Rudolf Steiner’s work on the seven-year cycles of soul development. His reverence for childhood confirmed what I had always felt but never had language for. This became the foundation of Enchanted Threads, my Waldorf-inspired curriculum rooted in rhythm, imagination, and soul presence.
At the same time, I returned to school to formally study psychology, with a focus on child development, trauma, and somatic theory. I trained in counseling and therapeutic modalities that integrate the body, the nervous system, and emotional healing. I began weaving in astrology—not as prediction, but as a symbolic language for remembering the soul's path. Jung, Campbell, and Steiner became my companions. Their work helped me see that myth, psyche, and movement tell the same story.
Over the years, I developed what I now call the Infinite Threads framework, grounded in the philosophy of Zero and One: the dance between presence and becoming, collective and individual, soul and structure. This framework now shapes everything I do—from guiding adults through inner child work, to creating sacred classrooms for children, to offering astrology readings as mythic maps of memory and potential.
This isn’t just a profession for me. It’s a practice. A devotion. A slow remembering of what we already carry.
“I believe presence, psychology, and mythology hold powerful keys for personal and societal transformation. ”
My Myth of Becoming
I didn’t come to this work through the door marked “credentials.”
I came through the back gate, the one made of bark and breath and burning questions.
I walked in barefoot, carrying a child on one hip and a notebook full of stars on the other.
While others learned in classrooms, I was learning in kitchens.
In hospital waiting rooms. On the dance floor.
In the moment a four-year-old screamed, and I remembered that the soul speaks in symbols long before it speaks in sentences.
I didn’t study psychology at first. I lived it…
Before I ever read Jung, I was naming archetypes in my journal. Before I knew Hillman, I was following images down spiral stairs. Before Steiner, I felt the breath of the Earth in the seasons of my own daughters. Before Isadora Duncan, I danced with ghosts.
I didn’t find these teachers. They found me. Once I was walking the path they had already made myth.
Isadora Duncan gave me permission
To dance the grief before naming it. To let the body be a prophecy.
To teach with grace and ache.
She didn’t teach me to perform. She taught me to listen to the rhythm underneath the rhythm. The one that’s always been there.
Rudolph Steiner reminded me
That the child is not becoming human, the child remembers that they are divine.
He gave me sacred time. Time as spiral. Time as echo. Time as teacher.
I stopped rushing. I started listening to the rhythm in my daughters. In my students. In myself.
Carl Jung gave me a map of my own dreaming
But I was already halfway through it.
He showed me I wasn’t crazy for seeing symbols in everything. He showed me that the gods had only changed costumes.
He didn’t give me answers. He gave me questions that became altars.
James Hillman gave me permission not to heal.
He said: Stay with the wound. It has something to say.
He told me that therapy wasn’t the goal. That soul doesn’t want to be saved. It wants to speak.
He taught me that if I could make beauty out of brokenness, if I could hold the ache without turning it into triumph, I was already serving soul.
So here I am.
Not officially a psychologist yet. Not a spiritual guru. Not a prophet or a seer. Just a human who remembers the thread.
I am here to mirror the rhythm the world forgot. To let children keep their magic. To remind grown people they are allowed to ache without fixing it. To say what the soul is already whispering, but hasn’t had language for—yet.
No, I’m not hiding from anyone. Not anymore. I’ve walked too far into the fire to pretend it was a metaphor.
This is not performance. This is presence. This is purpose.
And I didn’t make it up. I remembered it.
I write as The Mindful Muse, exploring presence, psychology, and symbolic meaning. Most of my work lives on Medium, where I publish through my own space, My Infinite Threads, as well as with other curated publications. '
I also host a Substack called The Mindful Thread. This is where my personal blog lives. Paid subscribers receive all of my published Medium essays, monthly Horary readings, and occasionally deeper, more personal musings I don’t share anywhere else.
The Mindful Thread
Investigating the Hidden Threads of Life
I’m building something that feels true to me, a reflection of where I’ve been and where I’m headed. I’m an idealistic, skeptical psychology student, an astrologer, a mother, a dancer, and an educator. Each of these pieces of me has shaped how I see the world—and how I move in it.
I believe in the beauty of living with intention, even when life gets messy. I’m drawn to the Waldorf lifestyle because it invites a deep connection to the rhythms of life, to the present moment, and to the quiet wisdom in simplicity. As a mother, I’m committed to conscious parenting, doing my best to hold space for my children’s authenticity while guiding them through the challenges of growing up.
I’m no stranger to the depths of uncertainty, and I’m fascinated by the concept of quantum leaps and timeline shifts—the idea that change doesn’t always have to be gradual, that we can shift into new realities with clarity and presence. But I also know that transformation requires a deep inner knowing, a trust in the process, and a willingness to sit with discomfort.
This is a journey of embracing the mess and the beauty of it all, of being present and engaged, and of holding space for growth, even when it doesn’t look the way we expect. My work isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence, about tuning into what’s here, right now, and letting that guide us forward.
And if you’re here, I invite you to join me on this path. To explore, to reflect, and to move in the quiet confidence that comes with being in the moment, even when the future feels uncertain.
My Guiding Philosophy
At the heart of my work is The Circle & The Line, a framework that represents the way life moves:
The Circle is presence, reflection, and the cycles we return to.
The Line is movement, transformation, and the journey forward.
We are always moving between these two forces—between stillness and change, knowing and becoming. Understanding this dance has shaped the way I live, create, and guide others.
The Four Pillars: The Forces That Shape My Work
From The Circle & The Line emerge Four Pillars, each representing a core force that shapes our lives. These pillars serve as the foundation of my work, helping others find balance, clarity, and purpose.
Freedom (Fire) – The courage to live authentically and embrace transformation.
Connection (Water) – The deep emotional flow that binds us to ourselves and others.
Love (Earth) – The grounding force of devotion, presence, and stability.
Truth (Air) – The clarity of wisdom, knowledge, and self-expression.
When these pillars are in harmony, they create Meaning—the ultimate purpose of the soul’s journey
