Shiva  is a forever-curious soul, born and raised in the Far East, where the mysteries of Earth and Sky have been honored for thousands of years. Drawn to the ancient wisdom of these traditions and the forgotten ways of Nature, she has spent much of her life exploring the deeper connections between the natural world, the human experience, and the mysteries that weave all life together.

​

 Nature has always been her greatest teacher, guiding her exploration of herbal medicine, plant wisdom, and alchemy. She continues to deepen her understanding through her studies at the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, and her work is deeply inspired by the teachings of Sajah Popham, Stephen Buhner, Paul Bergner, and Matthew Wood.
Her exploration of plant alchemy also extends into the art of spagyrics, through which she creates individualized spagyric medicines, drawing on traditional alchemical principles and a reverence for the transformative processes of Nature.

 Her approach to healing is rooted in a deep appreciation for the intelligence of plants and the unique relationship between each person and the natural world, with a focus on restoring balance, vitality, and a deeper connection with oneself and the Earth.

​

 Astrology offers another language and tool through which Shiva explores the patterns and mysteries of life. After traveling west in her late teens, she spent over a decade studying a variety of traditions and lineages, eventually pursuing her studies in astrological science at the Turning of the Ages Mystery School under the guidance of her elder and mentor, Daniel Giamario.  Following her full initiation and graduation, she has served for several years as a member of the school's council and continues to serve as a teacher and mentor.

Her astrological perspective has also been shaped by the work of Dane Rudhyar, Caroline Casey, and the wisdom of ancient cultures and traditions, all of which have deepened her understanding of astrology as a means of self-discovery and a way to explore the intricate relationship between the human experience and the living cosmos.

​

 Before immersing herself in the study of mystical and natural sciences, Shiva pursued academic studies in biological science and psychology. These studies provided an important foundation while also sparking questions about the limitations of conventional scientific approaches in understanding the deeper mysteries of life. This curiosity led her further into the study of natural medicine, organic farming, sacred geometry, numerology, ancient Vedic sciences and rituals, yoga, and meditation. These diverse paths have offered her different ways of understanding the many layers of existence, from the physical and psychological to the spiritual and the unseen.

Shiva brings together these varied influences in an approach that honors the interconnectedness of body, psyche, spirit, and Nature. Through her work, she seeks to reconnect the Above and the Below, the Within and the Without, inviting a remembrance of the unified pattern that encompasses all and the wisdom of living in harmony with it.

Shiva remains, and will forever remain, a humble student of life and all its mysteries!
