Radical Community
Leader
hello and welcome!
I'm Emily (she/they) - demigender, queer, neurodivergent, intersectional feminist witch with french canadian and celtic ancestors. I am an experienced coach, consultant, facilitator, and community leader committed to empowering marginalized genders through radical self awareness, intuitive rituals, and collective healing.
​
​I offer monthly moon and seasonal circles that create inclusive, intentional spaces for women, non-binary, trans, and gender non-conforming individuals to slow down, reflect, and align with the natural world. These gatherings are opportunities to honor the cycles of the moon, deconstruct patriarchal systems, and empower ourselves and each other through shared ritual and intuitive wisdom.
​
​
​My lifelong journey of learning and transformation is informed by a diverse array of teachings and experiences. From a young age, growing up in and around Salem, MA, I was drawn to the mystical and the magical—visiting the local herb shop, lighting candles on my bedroom altar, and practicing spells from ancient texts found in captivating witch city bookshops. These early rituals, as well as a miraculous medical experience, sparked a lifelong passion for collective healing and a deep connection to the cycles of nature, which continue to inspire my work today.

My professional training includes certification as a Wayfinder Coach with Martha Beck, facilitation training in The Work of Byron Katie, and studies in Somatic Abolitionism with Resmaa Menakem. I also hold a BS in Kinesiology from the University of Massachusetts and attend ongoing workshops to dismantle internalized patriarchy, including Healthy Anger & Empowered Boundaries with Feminism Coach, Robin Clark. These teachings have provided me with the tools to guide individuals and groups through profound personal growth, reconnect with intuition, reclaim power, and navigate healing journeys.

My organizational experience led me to Leadership roles in Culture & HR. I spent many years building workplace cultures and policies rooted in equity, open communication, and shared power, leading to Oregon's Top 100 Best Places to Work recognitions and B Corp Certifications for growing companies. This experience deepened my belief in the importance of creating community-centered spaces for growth, healing, and collective empowerment—principles I now bring to my role as an Intuitive Ritual Facilitator. Through my work, I honor the intersectionality of race, gender, and identity, ensuring all participants feel seen, valued, and supported. By drawing on my lifelong spiritual practices, diverse professional training, and passion for collective empowerment, I guide individuals in building healthy boundaries, cultivating deeper self-awareness, and embracing their authentic selves in a world that often seeks to silence us.

A spiritually transformative experience defines who I am today. My elderly rescue dog, Rusty, who I adopted in 2020, detected a 15 cm tumor in my pelvis that I had no idea I had. He consistently pressed his paws, head, and nose into the tumor, causing an intense pain that sent me to the doctor. Rusty received a Diamond Collar Hero Award from The Oregon Humane Society, here is the heartwarming video about our story.

"Emily has a natural gift for the work of coaching. She will prompt you, listen, offer concrete homework and follow up to keep you engaged in your own work. She is a superbly intuitive listener. She will meet you with the same intensity that you bring to your process with her. The combination of hard skills and experience in leadership and professional development and her intuitive and spiritual practice is exactly what I was looking for in a coach. She has helped me be a better mentor, helped me come into my power as a woman in leadership and has helped me find my ways to spiritual practices that enrich my inner life and calm my outer existence."

“It’s such a wonderful thing to work with someone who brings integrity to their work. Emily is so perfect for the workplace culture, equity and leadership work because she brings her authentic self to the work and does not require of others what she will not do herself. My experience with Emily is that her calming, professional demeanor created an opportunity for the team to be honest, vulnerable and open to opportunities to lean in, reflect and embrace the changes that were necessary for professional growth and for the benefit of the organization. Emily is talented, experienced and an amazing advocate for equity, diversity, and inclusion with the organizations that have been so fortunate to work with her and benefit from her expertise."
