About this work
Welcome to this enchanted space.
Through my work, I’ve discovered a deeper meaning within the zodiac, something that reaches far beyond the words themselves. My journey has been one of uncovering the essence of something so vast and boundless that it can never be fully captured in language. Something we can speak around, but never quite speak directly to. And yet, it is here, in the space beyond definition, that we begin to discover the deepest truths about ourselves. The parts of us that cannot be neatly defined, fully described, or put into words.
My work is an invitation to discover that same depth within yourself. To see yourself in a new light. To understand what your journey is truly about, and to recognize the extraordinary beauty woven throughout it. The absolute beauty of you. I use astrology to explore every aspect of your being, from the ordinary and mundane to the enchanting, divine, and magical, and everything in between. Because you are a vast, boundless being, and understanding the full spectrum of who you are calls for a language just as expansive. A language that helps you uncover what you came here to discover about yourself. For this, I work with Western sidereal astrology, which looks to the positions of the planets against the stars to explore the celestial patterns reflected in your unfolding life.
At the heart of my work is compassion. Because you are not faulty, lost, or disappointing. You are not something that needs to be fixed. You are an expression of a magnificent and intelligent universe, and there is a profound beauty in the very design of your being.
My intention is to help you see that beauty for yourself. To explore the intricacies of your natural design with curiosity, compassion, and wonder, until you begin to recognize what has been there all along.
Let’s discover the beauty of your natural design together, so you can see it, too.
I Believe In
Compassion as a guide
Truth that comes from love
The magic of stories
Finding grace in each moment
The light within us all
down the rabbit hole
With multiple planets in my 8th and 12th houses, I am here to journey beneath the surface and uncover meaning in what cannot easily be explained. I look beyond the form to see the essence of what lies beneath. And when we venture into the darkest depths of the unseen, I find the deepest well of compassion imaginable. That is the truth I am here to share with you.
Tale as old as time…
The hidden magic within stories.
I read a book series that gifted me a beautiful perspective of life. It is called The Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott. And in this series, each person’s magic carries a unique scent. One person’s magic smells like Vanilla, one smells like Oranges, another smells like Mint, and one even smells like Sulphur (ew)!
What was so beautiful about this, was that each person got to choose their own magical scent.
It never fails to amaze me at how everything we encounter in life holds grains of truth so deep we can easily miss them. In the book, the characters can recognize each other through their signature scent. It’s how each person is distinguished, experienced, and known. The scent leaves a trail of who you are and where you’ve been.
It was so exciting to think that we could choose our own scent, I immediately started imagining what scent I would choose for my own magic. My mind went to so many possibilities, I love the scent of lilac, vanilla, grapefruit, and jasmine. But there’s also the smell of a wood-burning stove on a cold day. Then we have rain, cedar, cinnamon, and that newborn puppy smell….hmmmm. So many scents to choose from, the list is endless. Just imagine for a moment, what scent would you choose?
What I noticed during this thought experiment, was that I wouldn’t know what these scents smell like, if I hadn’t experienced them for myself. And now that i’ve experienced the smell of lilac and vanilla, I would need to experience them together to understand what that blend would smell like. Even though I have experienced each individually, I couldn’t bring to mind what they would smell like together, until I create that experience.
This made me think of our soul. If we are here to create our own unique signature, how we recognize and know each other in soul, we would need to experience that in order to decide if it is who we choose to be. I would need to try vanilla and lilac together, and also lilac and grapefruit, and maybe even mix in a dash of cinnamon just for fun, in order to know what I want my signature scent to be. And some scents are so unique, because they are a very specific blend of things you would never think to pair together, but they compliment each other in a beautiful way. It seems the soul would have to explore a mix of experiences, to know how different qualities blend together to create a unique expression.
Just as we learn what our signature scent is by experiencing different combinations of fragrance, we learn who we are by experiencing different combinations of life’s qualities. Astrology, to me, is the language of those qualities. We have 12 signs in the zodiac, all with a distinct expression. And each person is exploring their unique blend of these 12 signs. We take a cup of Aquarius, half a cup of Cancer, a dash of Gemini, and a pinch of Capricorn. And this blend is experienced, through life, through others, through self. The endless experiences and expressions they create through the alchemy between them. We are like alchemists, blending together proportions and ratios to create our perfect recipe. And every experience informs this recipe. A little too much of this, not enough of that, keep adjusting and moving toward what blend brings us joy.
Just like smelling a variety of candles, you don’t buy the candle you don’t like the smell of and force yourself to smell it everyday because it’s “the right candle”. You buy the candle that smells the best to you, that makes you smile, lights you up, brings you joy. And you light that candle, and visitors get to smell that when they enter your home, remembering you through that scent.
Your joy is the guide, because you are creating you. Astrology is the recipe you chose to experience in this life as you create the essence of you.

My winding path to this work
Once Upon a Time…
Before astrology became my full-time focus, I spent fifteen years in Human Resources, supporting people through challenges, difficult decisions, and questions about who they were within the systems they inhabited.
Over time, I noticed a pattern: thoughtful, capable people often believed something was wrong with them when they struggled to thrive within structures that didn’t align with who they were. I recognized this tension in myself, too, and began questioning the stories we are taught about success, fulfillment, and life itself.
Having studied astrology for over two decades, I came to see it as a language that speaks to what cannot be described in words alone. Rather than viewing life as random, astrology reveals the divine intelligence behind all things.
In 2024, I stepped away from the corporate world to devote myself fully to Enchanted Astrology. Through my chart consultations and podcast, my intention is to help people explore the deeper meaning of their experiences and discover the beauty in their design.
