Our Goal: One Step at a Time
Seven years ago, I recognized a need for something beyond traditional therapy — a space where people could explore their healing through self-reflection, creativity, and spiritual connection. I saw many turning to tarot and intuitive tools because therapy was either out of reach or didn’t fully meet their needs. With my background in Psychology and my gifts as a Psychic Medium, I opened a life coaching studio to offer what I could with the tools I had.
Two years later, I chose to close that studio — not because the work wasn’t valuable, but because I knew it could be more. I committed myself to creating something deeper and more sustainable for those seeking holistic healing.
Now, with a BA in Psychology complete and an MA in Art Therapy ahead, it’s time to bring that vision to life. And it all begins where it started — at the crossroads, with copper pennies and a dream.
I’m inviting you, my community, to walk this path with me — and help create something greater than the sum of its parts.

Your Name & Trade Number Memorialized
On a Key Chain in the Van for All to See
Every soul who takes part in the Trade Off leaves more than a memory — they leave a mark. Each participant’s name and trade number are engraved onto a small copper tag, which is then added to a growing keychain inside the van. This isn’t just a record — it’s a living archive of every kindred spirit who’s walked this road beside me, a talisman of all the stories, laughter, and strange magic we’ve shared.
Over time, this keychain becomes a mobile shrine — a rattle of voices and intentions that bless the van’s journey and remind me (and every future passenger) that no one travels alone. Whether you traded a handcrafted item, an antique, or a haunted goodie, your spirit rides with me, tucked into the heart of Copper Penny itself.
Together, we’re weaving a story on the road, and your piece becomes a permanent part of the legend.

Making a Community
Two Steps at a Time
Welcome to the Future of Mama Wolf as Willow & Root Gallery:
A Home for Holistic Healing Arts & Grief/Trauma Support
Willow & Root Fundraising Mission Statement
We’re growing a dream — creating a community space where creativity, holistic mental health care, and compassionate support come together to honor every stage of life, from birth to death and all the messy, sacred moments in between.
Through The Copper Penny Van Quest and Our GoFundMe, we’re building this vision step by step, believing healing and growth happen best in community. Every penny, trade, and story helps us create a future nonprofit rooted in care, art, and connection.
Together, we’re building a sanctuary for grief, healing, and growth — by the community, for the community.
Passion Statement
Willow & Root nurtures every stage of life — honoring birth, growth, loss, and rebirth — with creativity, compassion, and community care. Together, we walk two steps at a time, tending to the moments that shape us most.
​
Mantra
"Like the willow, we bend but do not break. Like the roots, we hold what is unseen. In grief, in healing, in art, we find our way back to ourselves — one breath, one brushstroke, one step at a time."

The Little Red Paper Clip Trade Gone Paranormal
"Let's Trade!"
✨ The Copper Penny Van Quest Begins ✨
Today, I’m starting something wild and meaningful. In my hands, I hold an Antique Blue Mason's Canning Jar filled with copper pennies from my personal Crossroads Altar — a small treasure with history, magic, and potential. My goal? To trade these pennies, step by step, until I can acquire a 2020 Ford Transit Cargo Van.
​
Why a van? It will be my mobile home, art studio, office, and sanctuary as I travel to promote my book and continue my healing journey. Most importantly, it’s the first step toward creating Willow & Root — a holistic grief retreat and art therapy center. This dream, years in the making, is finally within reach.
This journey isn’t just about a van; it’s about turning pennies into purpose — using creativity, community, and barter magic to build a sanctuary for those healing from grief, trauma, and loss.
​
This isn’t just about getting a van. It’s about turning my little jar of pennies into purpose — using creativity, community, and a little barter magic to create something much bigger than myself. Every trade will bring me one step closer to helping others navigate their own grief, healing, and creative transformation.
​
So… here’s the first call:
Who wants to make the very first trade?
​
The Copper Pennies and their Antique Blue Mason's Jar home are up for grabs. They've been Charging on my Crossroads Alter for nearly five years now and are ready to activate change in someones life. What will you offer in exchange for a chance to change your life and the lives of those seeking something more than just traditional therapy options? It could be a collectible, a piece of art, a magical tool, or just a great story!
​
Let’s make some magic — and some healing — happen together. 💛

Empower Our Vision for a Holistic Take on Grief Therapy through GoFundMe
So I am currently and intentionally building my wheelhouse and educational pedigree to promote a holistic companion to traditional therapy that I hope gives those who find traditional therapy inaccessible or not as desired an ethically guided and empirically supported resource, while also providing an outlet to support those already in therapy and wanting to add to it in an APA-guided, but holistic and proactive way. And we are in motion now to launch this dream, but it's going to take more than just me to launch this project and make it a success. So if you're willing to join me, I will jump the hoops and do the work, and I will most definitely bring you along for the ride as we write the books, take the classes, host events and classes, and welcome our first clients. Who knows, you might be one of them.
Help us journey beyond the ordinary by supporting Mama Wolf's in becoming a brick-and-mortar sanctuary for artists, healers, and the community. Our mission is to foster a space where artists and healers can grow, and individuals exploring their unique paths—whether Pagan, occult, traditional, or otherwise—can find connection and support. We aim to provide access to a human-centered healing environment, where traditional practices are elevated through creativity and collaboration. From our living Apothecary to our artists-in-residence, art therapy opportunities, group gatherings, and personalized alternative care, our goal is to offer an accessible, holistic approach to mind, body, and spirit. With your help, we will create a unique shopping experience that serves our local Pagan, occult, Indigenous, and holistic communities.
