Hi, I’m Angelina!
From a young age, I’ve been aware that there is far more to life than what meets the eye. As a teenager, I stumbled into a profound series of spiritual experiences that completely altered the way I viewed life. Though my spiritual practice has evolved significantly since then, my devotion to God and my curiosity remain as strong as ever. In my early twenties, I began voraciously studying many of the systems that we humans have to understand ourselves and each other better. Myers Briggs Personality Type, archetypes, the chakra system, Reiki, and shamanism were all objects of my deep dives, and they all intersect! I spent many years in my 20's as a birth doula, which really stoked my interest in "the world beyond." There's nothing like watching souls incarnate on planet Earth to get those gears turning.
​
Astrology was the last one on the scene, because I was a serious skeptic. A dear teacher of mine, who taught me so much about using my intuition (find her incredible work here), introduced me to a colleague of hers who was an astrologer. (Find her here. She does so much more than astrology.) I was curious, as I tend to be, but also ready to dismiss it entirely. I had grown up reading the nonsense horoscopes in magazines, and my logical mind (correctly) thought, “How can roughly 1/12th of the world who shares my sun sign have the same week this week?” But I still felt drawn to getting a reading from this astrologer. I sent her an email, and she very patiently answered my questions. After months of stalling, I finally got the reading. It was one of the most surreal 90 minutes of my life up till that point. I had no idea astrology was so deep, or so accurate. I started studying astrology, never planning to do readings professionally. I was just in a dark place in my life, and astrology seemed to have more insight than the helpful modalities I had previously studied. And, many years later, here I am. I’ve been doing natal chart, composite (partnership) chart, and solar return readings for over 7 years.
​
Through my astrology readings, I began encountering many people who were going through deep faith journeys. Having been through my own, I was happy to help others navigate theirs. Drawing on my own experience, my studies through which I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Theology and Religious Studies, and my training in the many other healing modalities listed above, I added spiritual coaching to my offerings.
​
The most rewarding part of my work is witnessing my clients access deep levels of self-understanding and have the courage to ask themselves the hard questions that are necessary to create lasting change. It is exciting to watch my clients face themselves and see all the light, and all the shadows, and use that to become the version of themselves that they are finally ready to be.

A few of my favorite things, in no particular order, are: laughing till I cry (which happens almost daily), rain, jumping in the ocean, flowers (especially lilacs), dancing, singing, cats, learning, interior decorating, perfume, Christmas, the domestic arts, and teaching. I live in beautiful Mendocino County, California with my phenomenal teenage son.
