My first career was in art and photography. Over the last two decades, I added to that Feng Shui and macrobiotics, then yoga.

In 2009, I began a mentorship studying Feng Shui. I was living in New York City, having recently moved there from my hometown, Dallas. I started stocking my healing and transformation toolbox with tools during this time.

I moved to Salt Lake City in 2016 to be close to family, national forests, and national parks. I began training to become a yoga teacher focused on trauma and healing during this time.

I began making malas as a creative outlet in 2019. After the pandemic brought my life to a screeching halt, I knew I needed more to offer. Naturally, I wanted my products to be rooted in my Feng Shui and yoga practice. Vegan. Ethically sourced. Small batch. Organic. Useful. Beautiful. Special. Ritual Relish was born.

When I reflect on all the work of the last 20 years, it all comes together beautifully. I am proud of what I have accomplished and that I have the opportunity to connect with people and empower them to heal themselves. When I graduated from college in 2001, they said, “follow your passion.” So I did. It’s taken what feels like a lifetime for it all to come together, but it was necessary.

I look forward to continuing my education in trauma and body movement and creating unique products that benefit body and mind without harming people or ecosystems.

In my spare time I like to make art, hike, cook, read true crime, and hang out with my tabby cat, Oliver.
