about The Local Mystic
community & connection for witchy womenThe Local Mystic is a hub for mystical women looking to harness their power and live a more peaceful, joyous life. Since our launch in 2015, we’ve been creating an educational community space for modern spiritual seekers.
our purpose
Awakening You to Your Divine Truth
By combining ancient mindfulness techniques and modern mystical practices, I want to challenge you to create the most magical life you could ever dream of.
Here at The Local Mystic, we teach connection. Connection to the body, to nature, and to the universal energies that bring us together.
Through yoga and mindfulness, we connect body and breath as a form of physical and spiritual self-care. With this connection, we can embody compassion, joy, and strength for ourselves & others.
By connecting to the cyclical shifts of nature, we harness our own powerful cycles. Then, we can use this energy to inspire harmony & growth in our lives!

how I got started
I found yoga like a lot of people – from the bottom of a broken heart with nowhere to go.
I’d dabbled in yoga poses when I was younger thanks to my mom’s old Yoga Journal VHS tapes. My best friend and I would laugh and flop over the floor in attempted shoulder stands. I carried a bit of the practice with me to college, but then – like a lot of people – I got busy. I had schoolwork; I had a job; I had a boy, and I let my sense of self slip through the cracks. It wasn’t until I was standing at the wrong end of a painful breakup with no sense of direction that I realized I’d lost myself somewhere along the way.
After that, I threw myself head-first into my yoga practice and the study of spirituality and meditation. I cried openly on my mat, created space in my body and my heart, and found my way back to myself. I realized how transformative yoga and self-study could be and how much I wanted to share that with others.
Not long after, I made the decision to leave everything in my Midwestern town and relocate to New Orleans. I knew I wanted to study yoga and experience a bigger life, and that’s all I needed. I came down to the swamps with a wonderful support group, survived a flood, robberies, terrible service jobs on Bourbon Street, and began my studies as a yoga teacher.
New Orleans also provided a wonderful opportunity to explore and expand my interests. I began studying herbalism and paganism and expanded what the ideas of healing and religion meant to me.
After living in New Orleans for five years, my partner Steven and I packed up everything and took our two dogs on a cross-country trip in our newly converted camper van. We lived the #vanlife for about a year before we settled in our new home in Portland, Oregon.
These days, I’m teaching at local studios and festivals, writing for Yoga Journal and various music publications, and releasing my first book!! I’m honored and thrilled to share my passion and the principles of this practice with my beautiful, ever-growing community.
