a bit of my story

 
 

Call me “G.” I am an astrologer, educator, & creative coach.

What do I “do?” Dynamic care! I study, teach, and make art about how wild the Internet is. I learn, play, and grow alongside others. I facilitate transformation by deep listening, tracking patterns, and reflecting those connections back to people so we can understand them better. I am a deconstruction worker: I hold non-judgemental yet critical space for people to detangle and decondition.

How did I get here? I have been studying Astrology and occult knowledge for over 20 years. I have applied it to my own life and read for friends and family for decades, and now professionally with clients for 7+ years.

I graduated from Lewis & Clark College in 2017 with a BA in Rhetoric & Media Studies and a minor in Environmental Studies, focusing my research and writing on decolonizing science and spirituality. Toward the end of that academic journey, I began an apprenticeship with Jai Medina, Wayfinder of the Balanzu Way healing tradition. I spent years working both in the food service industry and as a corporate social media marketing manager before taking the leap into full-time self-employment as an Astrologer and alternative care worker. In the Summer of 2021, I completed my Educator Certification with the Digital Wellness Institute. Later that year, I founded the Cyborg Support Club—a virtual community for more mindful, creative, and empowered Internet use.

Now, I am currently pursuing a MS in clinical mental health counseling. As a counselor in training, the work I currently offer is NOT therapy and CANNOT offer any medical diagnosis or treatment.

I live on unceded Chinook and Multnomah territory in the state of Oregon, but my work is virtual and my clients live all across the globe. It feels important to share my heritage with those deciding if I might be the right person to reflect with right now. I am white—I have diaspora ancestry, primarily Ukrainian & Belarusian Ashkenazi, alongside other scattered European heritage, including Scottish, Irish, Italian, and Swedish. I grew up in the redwood mountains of California (Awaswas/Ohlone territory), where the Pacific Ocean and old forests were among some of my greatest teachers.

Other things that might help you get a sense of my energy: I enjoy hiking and playing outside, writing, building queer community, practicing non-monogamy, practicing folk herbalism, learning skills to navigate neurodivergence, questioning systems of power, crafting ritual and ceremony, and exploring emergent tools for boundaries and consent. I value curiosity, authenticity, freedom, compassion, integrity & regeneration.

In my art, I work through many media—writing and poetry, drawing and lettering, digital and 3D collage, space-making, relationship-building, and world wide web weaving. I consider them all forms of channeling.
