who are my people?

i chronically help & support folks who:

​​​

  • want low-maintenance, high-standard care that fits real life

  • crave both beauty and balance, inside and out

  • are tired of surface-level fixes and want depth + strategy

  • value honesty, clarity, and being met as they are

  • show up curious, ready to shift old patterns and try new ways

  • appreciate structure but also need space for creativity and chaos

  • are rebels at heart—willing to go off-script to find what works

  • see our work together as an investment, not a quick transaction

  • want their outside to reflect the strength and softness they’re building inside

 

is this you? call me, babe

"high

standards,

low maintenance"

we believe in principles-based learning which makes sessions an experience where guests get to learn about their specific needs and also the basic understandings of how everything works. this allows fresh homies to own the tools to take care of their body with the utmost respect with the least-amount of high quality resources. we also prefer to provide tested and approved resources so guests don't have to rely on marketplace manipulation.
