you, but i do work to create a safe space where you can discern your own path and goals. i'm honored to be part of the work that you're doing, and know that every part of you is welcome here.  

my own spiritual path is open and eclectic, with elements of secular humanism, agnosticism, celtic paganism, reclaiming goddess tradition, traditional cherokee spirituality, and deep nature reverence.  if i had to name a religious home, it would be unitarian universalism, though i prefer mountaintops to buildings any day.  i have academic foundations in the abrahamic, asian, and african diaspora religions through my undergraduate college coursework, and i have a deep and abiding openness, as well as a gentle sense of curiosity, when it comes to any and all religious traditions, including none.  i'm here for you no matter who, what, where, and why you are or aren't.

​

i am ordained to perform weddings and other official ceremonies through the chaplaincy institute of maine (chime).  i have training in moral injury work through the volunteers of america, as a movement chaplain in social activism through faith matters network, and participate in clinical pastoral training and supervision through the clinical pastoral training center of southern maine. 

​

as an interfaith chaplain, i work with all people.  i do, however, specialize in care around fertility, infertility, and assisted reproduction.  i also enjoy working with midwives, doulas, obgyns, and other birth workers around issues of vocation, burnout, moral injury, and adverse outcome processing.  i am currently a staff chaplain at spiritual care services of maine, and i also teach for the chaplaincy institute of maine.

in addition to my chaplaincy work, i own and operate red roots midwifery, a holistic home birth practice in western maine and the mount washington valley of new hampshire, though i am currently on extended sabbatical and loving life as a new mom.​

​

in lieu of making a land acknowledgment, which does little to promote tribal sovereignty or the health and wellbeing of our indigenous populations, i will suggest that you consider donating time or join me in regularly donating money directly to the wabanaki alliance, an organization seeking recognition and sovereignty for the micmac, maliseet, passamaquoddy, and penobscot nations of maine.
