Hi, I’m Gaia

I help sensitive, empathic, spiritually awake people make sense of what’s happening in their bodies, their lives, and their inner worlds- especially when the life they’ve built no longer fits who they’re becoming.

I do this work because I’ve lived it.

I know what it’s like to wake up inside a life that looks great on the outside but feels completely misaligned on the inside, and to realize that the issue wasn’t weakness or failure, but sensitivity coming online in a deeper way.

Relate? You’re in the right place.

I’m an intuitive healer and energetic herbalist with a deep reverence for the divinity inside every being- human, tree, stone, star, river, and so on. I specialize in intuition, the nervous system, body wisdom, and spiritual awakening. I’m highly sensitive, deeply feeling, and grounded in my forest.

I hear from my clients that my presence feels calming and uplifting; that they feel seen and safe with me. I don’t take this lightly. Creating safe, sacred space is at the heart of all my healing offerings.

I created Forest Moon Medicine for the benefit of all beings.

I love

forests | rivers | ginger | being naked outside | goddesses | sunshine | cooking + baking | asana + walks in the woods | plant medicines | my children’s smiles | reading | learning | black cats

I can’t stand

crowds | rules | fluorescent lights | violent movies + shows | rapid transitions | loud noises | small talk | clutter | patriarchy | shoes with heels

My story

Intuitive Living in Practice

I was born highly sensitive, but I had no language for it growing up. I didn’t know what an HSP was, what anxiety was, or how to care for myself in a world that felt loud and overwhelming. As a child and young adult, I spent a lot of time feeling anxious, afraid, and even nauseated, without understanding why. I thought something was wrong with me.

At age 28, I read a book that finally explained what highly sensitive people and empaths are, and my worldview opened practically overnight. With my daughters as my unexpected spiritual teachers, triggering me into overwhelm on a daily basis, I began questioning everything I’d been taught. What beliefs and values were actually mine? What was conditioning? What still fit, and what needed to be thrown out?

My soul timing, or spiritual awakening, unfolded over years, during my Saturn return, culminating with the birth of my son when I was 32. He’s a little Buddha, my ultimate teacher. Through being gentle and present with my children, I learned to be gentle and present with myself. I learned that the way I had been living was not the only way, and that it really wasn’t supportive for me.

Eventually, I began making small, “micro” decisions that supported my nervous system and honored my sensitivity. Whenever I could, I chose quiet, slowness, dim lighting, time in nature. Micro decisions eventually led to much bigger ones, guided by my inner knowing rather than conformity or obligation. My life has changed a lot since that time. I’m turning 38 this year, and 32 year old me would barely recognize me. Tattoos, a house in the forest, a career I love, relaxed, happy kiddos, more crying than I thought possible, passion, joy, pain, an astounding capacity to embody my sensitivity- wow. I’m grateful.

Through my soul timing, plus my relationship with the divine feminine, I came to embody my sensitivity as my greatest spiritual-and human-gift. It that allows me to live with presence, intuition, and grounded power. This is the life that intuitive living made possible.
