a bit of my story
Call me “G.” I am an astrologer, educator, & creative guide.
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 decondition from the shapes they no longer want or need to hold.
How did I get here? I have been studying Astrology and esoteric 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 8+ years.
I graduated from Lewis & Clark College 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 degree in clinical mental health counseling to equip my practice to facilitate transformation that addresses trauma, illness, and complex psychological conditions.
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, & Polish 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 growth 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, practicing folk herbalism, crafting, ritual, and ceremony, learning skills to navigate queerness, neurodivergence, and non-traditional ways of relating and being in this world, and questioning systems of power.
I value curiosity, consent, authenticity, freedom, compassion, integrity & regeneration.
