My name is leo (they/them). I'm a queer, neurodivergent Earth-being on a magical journey of understanding life through the intersections of my own experiences and observations of the world around me.

I grew up on the Colorado Front Range and my relationship with the land has informed every step of my journey. As a tender creature that has always felt other, I find that learning and knowing the Beings where I live has given me a deep sense of place on the inside/outside. One day in 2020 I was listening to the Ponderosa pine trees in the Souther Rockies and they gave me a gentle, yet explicit directive - we want you to work for us.

Finding my way through the mystery of that directive has brought me down formal and informal learning pathways of herbalism, botany, Ayurveda, gardening, deep ecology, spirit and energy work, land-based belonging, transpersonal psychology, witchery, crystal healing, cooking, mutual aid, and touching many other pulses of alternative healing and magic. I have lived and worked as a farmer, AmeriCorps VISTA, graphic designer, city bus driver, nanny, marketing wizard, prep chef, home tender, photographer, farmers market manager, and eternal student of life.

Inner Tree Energetics is a home for us to share, based on that kind message from the Trees. This home is rich, warm, curious and playful. My offerings are not clinical, but deeply tuned in to the heart. Together we’ll slow down, drink tea and touch some trees. ♡
