Holistic. Embodied. Grounded.
Hi, I'm Lyn! I came to this work to be part of building a culture grounded in care, empathy, reciprocity, and self-awareness. I want to support you in holding what you are carrying and help you move through and be present with your grief, while also practicing curiosity and discovering the beauty of this world.

What Grounds and Moves Me
Herbalism
Let me listen to your story.
As an herbalist, I’ve learned from and connected with plants, finding in the more-than-human world hope, inspiration, and community that empower us to navigate life’s darkest moments and work toward a better world.
Mutual Aid
My liberation is tied with yours.
Community solidarity and reciprocity give me hope, showing that when we support each other, embrace our own power, and allow ourselves to be both vulnerable and present for others, anything is possible.
Cultivate your sense of play.
With 10 years as a performance artist, clown, puppeteer, and experimental theater maker, I’ve used performance to reconnect with my true self, embrace play and wonder, and imagine new possibilities.
