about me.

A few basics about me: I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and now live in Minneapolis, MN. I love the midwest and have mostly always lived here minus seven years in Bristol, England and small periods in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I also spent a lot of time hitchhiking and traveling in my 20s, meaning I stayed for three or four months in a lot of different places. That, though, was a long time ago.

As you read this, I am in the midst of a walk from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast of Turtle Island. I’ve been dreaming of this walk since I was 16 and I am starting the walk in my 60th year. If you are curious about what this means, you can read more here or download the book where I’ve written a lot of words about it. Similarly, I will be posting on the blog on this site as well as through Instagram, although I can’t tell you exactly how often. 

I work as a craniosacral therapist (and don’t trust the Wikipedia page about this modality) and writer. I also am part of two different organizations that I helped form: Healing Histories Project and Relationships Evolving Possibilities.

My books are: Queerly Classed, which was first published in 1996 and is now open source, Liberated to the Bone, which was published in 2022, and At the Fork on the Road, self-released in 2024.

I am clear that anything I do is done because of what I have learned and experienced from others. Everything emerges out of what came before. Click here for a list of other sites that I love.
