One breath at a time.
One step at a time.
One day at a time.
Turtle. Turtle. Turtle.

  • "I am a human being because of you."

    Peter Levitov

  • You have a rare ability to connect with people. Your warmth and caring are immediately palpable. I feel very excited for your clients.

    John Andrew Williams, MCC

  • "I know: I did the work. And without your love, care, friendship, and guidance, my story would have had a very different outcome. You’ve given me so much—practical life lessons, in a world that seems hesitant to do that for anyone. The best teachers simply show others their power and gifts and help us develop them. You have been that, for me.”

    Murshid Rashid Steven Pettit, Los Angeles, CA

  • "Queer-competent, poly-experienced, neurodivergent, anti-racist, trauma-informed... I just love you so much."

    Stazja Gray, Gainesville, FL

  • "That trance session... It's been almost two months now, and last night I realized all my internal chatter is silent. Just gone."

    Melissa Loszko, St. Petersburg, FL

  • “You see things about me that I don’t. You’ve always done that, almost from the very beginning. You have given me tasks to build resiliency. Our entire relationship is a resiliency-building exercise."

    Andrew Abshier, DVM, Sarasota, FL

  • "The retreat brought me to a new level in my relationship with myself. When you don’t know who you are, and someone invites you to clear the slate of the past its scary because you think they could just condition you into whatever they want. But that isn’t what happened at all. Instead you have returned me to myself. I’ve never felt this whole."

    Susan LeBlanc, Thonotosassa, FL

  • "This is just such a safe space to say whatever the fuck I want to. I don’t even have to think before I speak. I’m so grateful. And I can breathe. I feel like I can breathe."

    Madhura Fitch, Colorado Springs, CO

  • "You’ve helped me so much in my life. Like I really wanted to be here but I didn’t believe I could be here. And here I am!"

    Yoko Youngman, St Petersburg, FL

  • “Just when I think the trip is over we go for another magic carpet ride.”

    Penta Rose, LMHC

  • "She is magic."

    Murshid Shahabuddin David Less
