My name’s Emily.

Welcome to my Website

The purpose of this website is notably mixed, in-cohesive, and a direct representation of how my mind works on simultaneous, seemly unrelated, topics in what I know to be a beautiful mosaic. If that’s not to your liking, see it as a natural filter that we are not aligned to overlap in this life.

where I’m coming from

I’m part of the later-half of the Millennial generation in the U.S., and as part of this age group, I have traveled substantially while living out a Nomadic lifestyle. Throughout my travels, I took a deep dive into my subconscious and into the currents of energetic undertones that surrounded me, and I used Human Design and Tarot as my primary guides. The beautifully painful and liberating cycles of death and rebirth that transpired that I pursued while living outside of the United States in notable and indisputable luxury brought my deeply in touch with my own spirituality, as well as accepting a base level of humble ignorance to every new life chapter and skill I approach. While I’ve made moves to end that chapter of my life, it has deeply shaped my perspective of reality and made my mind more malleable, and more accepting, of change and accepting the world in its rawest reality so that we can transmute what was into something worth living out for all.

a slightly confronting perspective

I love spirituality. I read my own Tarot cards on a multi-daily basis. I reference and reread my own Human Design chart on a weekly-basis. Living an uncharted life path is impossibly terrifying without some sort of faith to guide me through, and I’ve found these tools deeply nourished, inspired, and renewed by my connection to reality (as paradoxical as that seems) and renewed my connection with cultures and religions and principles that were previously beyond what my mind could comprehend or accept. I deeply desire to help others in my country to create this connection for themselves, too, though I have also found myself to be very much a follower rather than a leader in these spaces. Still, it’s where I feel lead to be, and where I will invest a heavy portion of my time and resources into.

We are now aware that the Western Way of life lead to a forgetfulness of Spirit, with our connection to the elements and cycles of Earth, to the elements of cycles within ourselves. And in all of this forgetfulness, we created culture and systems that sought to eradicate all things that claimed a different narrative. Indigenous cultures that survived and endured became the protectors of this connection.

And, this is recognized within the growing global enterprise of spirituality… for monetization purposes, anyways.

No matter what country I’ve traveled to, there always seems to be a spiritual retreats and experiences run by white, Western, immigrants who monetize the local spiritual practices and perceptions of that region. And for a wickedly expensive price. And, given the state of current Western Dominance, the currency exchange combined with the absurdity of the price tag makes it a completely inaccessible event for locals from that place.

cough cough, Tulum, I’m looking at you….It fills me with immense rage and disgust.

I say this with the deepest respect, but if a person of Western Heritage was meant to lead this remembrance, they simply would have incarnated as an indigenous person. That’s not the role we, as Westerners, signed on to play in this life. I could spend the rest of my life deep diving into spiritual practices, and to be honest, I probably will, but I will forever be learning from others in person, rather than from a millennium deep connection with my ancestors and a connection to the earth around me, from 1000-year old seeds to 1000-year-old trees. We simply do not have that kind of connection, but I actually think this was entirely by design.

a new take on the same same

I like to see it as sort of a game; my soul wanted to incarnate with the maximum level of forgetfulness. It’s actually quite difficult to keep spirituality in mind when life is giving you an infinite number of privileges in your day-to-day life. Why would you need to pray for food when you have a fridge full of it? Why would you need to pray for shelter when you have a luxurious home? This is the sweet, addictive, lie that the Western way of life sings us to sleep with. It’s an enticing, addictive, delusion that we all deeply will to be true, at least for us, of course. All you have to do is take a little bit more than what you need to make this a reality. All you need to do is take a little bit from others to ensure you have the things you “need”. All you need to do is move the “less fortunate” a little bit away so their “less successful” attempts aren’t ruining your million dollar view of nature.

The reality is, life isn’t actually like that for anyone, and even once these things are obtained, there’s something missing. This is what we have all come to find is true, through this great awakening. And this is what lead to so many Westerners seeking spiritual enlightenment.

And, this is where it gets exciting…

In these modern times, we have a myriad of resources at our disposal. Nearly all spiritual practices and tools are now known, and accessible, to us from almost every corner of the world. We quite literally can pick and choose what tools resonate most deeply with the lessons and levels of self-actualization that our soul wanted to accomplish in this life. It’s such an incredibly exhilarating time to be alive!

Of these tools, the ones that I work with most fluently are Tarot and Human Design. Both are immensely invigorating and can be used to create a direct line of communication between your soul and who you are as a person in this life.

why leverage this space

I have dedicated my life to maintaining an expansive life perspective, and to truly seeing and cherishing each other for our uniqueness. Beauty truly lies in the details, so my intention is for my vulnerability and transparency to help create a space where my clients/viewers/followers/friends/family/whatever can all relate to a piece of my story, or some emotional intensity, and thus remember the things that help foster unity. This creates an open, creative, space where my clients feel free to explore the inner selves without fear of judgement or restriction in expression. The purpose is for this impact to go far beyond our sessions, where it can integrate deeply the soul. Both within my clients, themselves, and with their cherished others.

You can explore the services I offer within this space, where I empower others on their own intensive paths of inner deaths and transformations in ways that I, myself, have so intimately benefited from in my own life.

Word of Caution: If you are grammatical-inclined, my writing will cause you to fall into deep despair. I write the way I speak, which is almost exclusively grammatically incorrect. Learning colloquial Brazilian Portuguese will probably not help that end.

What My Inner Dialogue Is Currently Saying

Side Note: Despite all the photos on this website, I genuinely do hate getting my photo taken… I find it too confronting to see terrible images of myself, and I have deeply struggled with this in the past. But, you eventually grow up at some point…even despite best efforts. I know our opinions of our appearance are about as reliable as the weather app in Rio…. Often, it says sunny skies and warmth while it’s literally down-pouring rain….. #why?

So, I’ve decided to invest in pictures while traveling for my 60 year old self*, because I know she will appreciate them so much more than I ever will in the moment. And, obviously, the ones that make it to this website are ones I actually like, too. It’s kind of like the perspective of my future self is helping me fall in love with the present, or at the very least, the recent past. Which is still relevant for the current version of me, so it’s a win-win, really.

*I think about her all the time. This blog, really, is for her and the legacy she will build.
