  • Description

    I AM open-minded. I AM loving. I AM kind. I AM sweet. I AM fun.
    I AM here to walk in love, peace, respect and reverence for all life force around me.
    I like to laugh and have fun while getting the job done.

    I have experience in many different areas of life that I take with me wherever I go. I am a nomadic woman who is determined to live the wisdom of life through her own sought out experience and I am not afraid to try something new, see a new place, or try a new skill. As always, I will do whatever is at hand with my best effort and will make it a good time with a big smile.
    I am a lover of life and death, with more of an affinity towards death. I collect bones and pray to the waters. I walk this long path knowing that each day there is still more to learn and still more to let go.
    Traveling is a sacred act to me. It's so sacred to begin a journey in a foreign land with new concepts, ideas, beliefs, traditions and people. It is here that I remember who I am and who we all are so deeply. My first country I visited was COLOMBIA, te amo te amo te amo

  • More details about your skills

    In total, I have 8 years of experience working with humans guiding them on their experience as a waitress, when they walk into the restaurant I work at.
    I do this with my best effort, utmost respect and gratitude to be of service. It’s ironic in the most beautiful way that my first job I got ever was in the service industry. It bestowed onto me various skills and gifts being in the role as a guide in the way of a restaurant. These various skills and gifts have given me an advantage as I shift my journey into one of service in earth driven passions of permaculture, ecology, sustainability, recycling of material and energy, plant medicine, and traditional community based living.

    My path has awarded me with great strength, courage, bravery, resilience, care, love, integrity, safety of others, and leadership.

    I want to bring all of these characteristics with me along my journey moving forward as I seek out a new adventure in my life. I am seeking a retreat like setting, working alongside a community with food cultivation, medicine cultivation, plant medicine spaces & ceremonies, communal living space, creative space and free space. Main things I now know that I will never compromise on in my needs are FRESH AIR, BUGS & BUTTERFLIES, BIG SMILES, BAREFEET, LAUGHS, SUNSHINE, RIVERS, CACAO, WEAVING, PLAYING, WORKING WITH THE EARTH.

    Some other experience/knowledge I can do my best to give is:
    Volunteer experience on community farm project learning how to work with the land in cultivation from seed tray-transplant-watering/growth-pruning-to harvesting.
    I can use basic farm tools to weed and dig.
    *On-going* Herbal Apprenticeship study in medicine making, cultivation, preservation and protection of native plant species within my region. This course also includes, plant identification, when to harvest, when not to harvest, identifying poisonous look alikes, foraging for wild foods, making tinctures, salves, balms, teas, oxymels, vineagars and more.
    *On-going* School of Healing Earth Medicine course in ancient spiritual ways to bring in the spiritual aspect of the plants and to call upon different energies of the celestials, directions, ancestors, guides, and animals to work alongside us as we care for the plant teachers and the wisdom they guide us into. This course introduces me to curanderismo and expands my vision to south american healing culture.
    I have participated in a 20-day Cacao challenge with an online school called the Mayan Wisdom Project. In this challenge, we utilized the Sacred Mayan Calendar to discern the energy of each day and then prepare the Cacao according to ancient mayan traditional recipe. This was online.
    My knowledge of cacao is just sprouting, and I have a focus on the medicine of Cacao and a dream of mine is to go where Cacao lives and say hi to the tree and give it a big kiss on the trunk. Oh, and I would also like to deepen my study with the tree and land after that.


    House work skills: cleaning, mopping, organizing, changing light bulbs, putting things up onto walls using measuring tools, painting walls, washing dishes.

    Caring for children, elderly and the sick:
    I am the oldest of many younger siblings. Responsibility is inescapable for me. Haha.
    Do NOT have me around a sick person... I will drown them with herbal tea and give them so much love and care. I am very protected of these two groups of people within a community. Very motherly and always keeping a watchful eye on the babies and elders health and well being without them knowing I am doing so.

    Caring for pets:
    I am a cat mom of two myself. No farm animal, wild animal or sanctuary experience tho, would love to learn if the opportunity becomes available! I rescued two baby squirrels once.
