visit
the hearth.
welcome, my friend. i am grateful your journey has brought you here.
as an astrologer, i receive clients as guests at my doorstep. on the table, the candles are lit with an understanding of the sky rooted in love of the earth. we visit with each other, guided by a conviction that your birth chart is the map of your path to the good life.
if you have a question - a spark - in your heart that needs immediate, quick attention, a recorded reading is best for you. for recorded readings, you write in with your question, i read your birth chart, and i share my understanding of what’s going on. i record your reading at your appointment time and send the recorded video to you the next day.
we have more space in live sessions. we sit hearthside and visit. you lay your burdens by the door and share what’s weighing on your heart. i provide context and timing, preparing bundles with medicines and gifts. at the end of our time together, you leave our table nourished and prepared for the future, with a steady heading on your compass as you continue to travel the path of your life.
i am honored and humbled to be a waystation and guide on the path of many pilgrims.
i hope you’ll be one of them.

alex was incredibly warm and insightful. i have just moved to the pnw and it was wonderful to speak with someone that has relationship to land as a major part in their practice. the reading was in depth and specific and also felt like an exciting conversation. unlike with some other practitioners, it felt like co-creation rather than a sit down and listen to the expert experience. i loved my reading and will be coming back for more!

i love talking with alex. they're so generous with their insights and knowledge that each session always feels like it continues weeks and even months after the end of our reading. i find myself reflecting deeper into parts of myself and my chart and the clarity helps me better understand and navigate my relationship with each facet with greater ease and fluency. the sessions are so comprehensive and they offer such a welcoming and caring space to just be.

alex's understanding and navigation of the stars is comparable to a warm, intellectual tea chat with your best friend. alex's ability to communicate our innate star patterns, brought forth many conformations of my intuitive understandings of my spirit and soul work (which- was a breath of fresh cool, pine filled air). alex holds space for vulnerability through understanding and care and ever so tender, libra moon. i feel fortunate to have made the appointment to meet this sweet human and look forward to future connections and consultation.

my reading with alex felt like swimming through the river of my life with a compassionate companion. i felt safe and seen through alex's gentle guidance, and gained deeper insight into my natal chart as a holistic ecosystem.

alex's session with me gave me much guidance on approaching not only my upcoming saturn return, but also my journey for fertility. i learned so much in terms of what might be most helpful in bringing a baby earthside. the thing that stood out the most to me was how spirituality ties into my journey; this reading helped me clarify what i need during my birthing journey.

yes, please come ready to be present on camera. live sessions are an energetic exchange that call for reciprocity and vulnerability from both of us.

i encourage you to test your camera, microphone, and zoom app prior to our session. if technology issues on either side prevent us from engaging in the session within the first seven minutes, we’ll reschedule for a later date.
