being with brie
Spiritual Counselor, Teacher, Creative, and deeply Human

In my personal experience, the healing journey has been less one of becoming and more one of unbecoming; learning how to unravel from all the trauma, stories, programming, limiting beliefs, and more that kept me from embodying my fullest, most authentic self. It has been a journey back home to my heart.

One of my intentions of being a voice in this space is to hold both levity and gravity with equal reverence. I trust that where this is shadow, there can also be light; where there is grief, there can also be gratitude; where there is depth, there can also play.

I was born and raised in Northern Jersey, but I now live in Grass Valley, California.

I’m wildly in love with my husband, Scott. We have two cats, Sesame & Dino, and a dog, Reishi, together.

I have a Scorpio sun, Leo moon, and Aquarius rising.

I’m a 4/6 Manifesting Generator.

I’ve always felt a deep connection to animals. When I was younger, I collected National Geographic wildlife cards and would speak on behalf of the animals in the room. Now, this connection shows up in subtler ways – listening to the medicine that the four legged and winged ones share with me day to day. 

I strongly believe that food and plants are medicine. My husband is a chef, so I can’t take much credit for my cooking skills, but I love nourishing my body through kitchen witchery. 

I have an insatiable curiosity and find myself continuously pursuing new areas of study. I am as much a student as I am a teacher; the two archetypes are intrinsically connected.
