aka Cowgirl Oracle. I am a mystic, author, spiritual guide and archivist of my life.
The alias Cowgirl Oracle came from the notion that a cowgirl must be in relationship with her world, as well as devoted to that relationship. A cowgirl is listening, touching grass, tending to the environment, responsible for that which enters her world. She is wild, fierce, untameable and tender.
An oracle is one who receives messages, interprets dreams and symbols, is connected to the deeper layers & intricacies of life. Translating, feeling, and guiding the self & others towards their paths and lessons.
Together, Cowgirl Oracle felt like a way to embody an archetype I felt but needed an outline for. It has guided not only the external aesthetic of my life, but also the internal value-driven curation of my inner world.
I believe we are all here to play a role, embody the lessons and gifts of certain archetypes. This, for now, is mine.
What I Do
The best way to look at the red-thread through work I do is this:
I am a translator.
I translate experience into poetry, symbolism into meaning, signs into guidance, visions into visuals.
The way I approach my work and life is holistically through the lens of an embodied self. The harmony of Mind, Body, & Spirit are deeply important to me, which is why I’ve studied yoga, breath work, anatomy, science and design alongside my spiritual pursuits.
I believe that discovering our values and then leading a life based on the fulfillment of those values instead of following the script or story laid out for us is not only more rewarding, but also easier.
Born This Way
I deeply believe (and experience) that we are all here with unique gifts, lessons, and perspectives. Through whichever modality you want to look at (and trust me I’ve tried them all) I am destined on some level to do this work.
To inspire, to share, to guide, to intuit.
It is my gift to help you see your gifts; to guide you towards feeling safe to experience that calling.
My approach is rooted in science and spirituality. We work with the nervous system, with language, with conscious and sub-conscious beliefs, with the body, with symbolism.

This is what I am known the most for, and with good reason. I have always been a spiritual person, meditating & talking to other beings since I was a child.
At 18 I turned deeply towards spirituality and the path of being a “witch” - this was deeply supportive and transformative to my world, allowing me to have a sense of control by forming beliefs that supported me.
I found tarot at this time, and began my pursuit of understanding it. 12 years later, I have 7 years of professional experience and thousands of readings in my repertoire.
To this day I continue my spiritual work, offering akashic records and birth chart readings as well as tarot.
I have created a course The Language of Tarot as well as my own deck The Cowgirls Oracle.
You can book a reading with me or read more about what I do.

It’s always been vital for me to have the outsides match the insides.
Design is a holistic experience for me, that isn’t just about visual representation but about evoking a certain feeling or experience. It is about authenticity and expression.
I have had the privilege to design stores, websites, brands, and events.
My approach is organic and always created with you, not just for you. I see the essence and truth of what you are bringing forward and using the same gifts I have for spiritual work, call in your dreams and their visual representations.
You can see a portfolio of my design work here.

I am always making things to archive my experience and play with my personal expression.
The creative offerings I have are completely from the heart and are a peer-into-the-soul kind of experience.
With 4 published books of poetry, IRL & URL communities, an oracle deck on the way and one-of-a-kind creations & curations there are endless ways to bring my work into your world.

Community is the main pillar of my work and inspiration. I believe so deeply in the power of community and have always prioritized making things accessible for this reason.
I am always open to curating events, community based offerings, and making connections online & offline.
Ways we can connect in community:
sign up for an event
join The Altar
take The Artists Way cohort
find me at a pop-up
hire me to read at your function
follow me on instagram

Values & Ethics
-
I want everything I offer to be sustainable for myself, my community, and the environment. Sustainability to me is more than just physical resources - it is mental and emotional sustainability as well.
-
in order to do the deep spiritual work that I offer, safety is a priority. This is mental, physical, and emotional. Your safety and integration is a top priority for me. I strive to be a safe person for all the people I work with. I will never read someones energy without their permission, I don’t read in a deterministic way and I will always be available for follow-up support.
-
what I offer is intimate and vulnerable. Your privacy will always be respected and protected. Anything we talk about is confidential and will never be told to anyone else (with the exception of believing you are a danger to yourself or another person, which is standard in any practice). I use secure systems, networks, and pride myself on being a secret keeper.
-
much like sustainability, accessibility is more than just our physical resources. Offering many different ways to connect (in person, online and pre-recorded), sliding scale pricing, and using language that all can understand are ways I integrate accessibility to my practices.
-
community is the ultimate foundation of what I do and strive to build. It is my bread and butter. Making community accessible, providing safe places for people to show up, be themselves, and become themselves is some of the most important work I do. I believe connecting authentically in a 1-1 manner is how we can grow community.
-
I promise to always be myself, so you can always be yourself. I’ll make silly little jokes, I’ll share my wisdom in ways that are humanizing and always hold space for you to show up exactly the way you need to while keeping room for you to become who you want to.
-
this ties together in so many of the other values and ethics. You can trust me to not judge you, to keep your secrets, to communicate with you with what’s happening, and to practice what I preach.
-
this was once explained to me as choosing for your whole self - mind, body, and spirit. Wherever that intersection leads you, whatever that soft spot is. Integrity is the basis of my overall mind/body/spirit approach and allows us to operate at a whole-human level.
“I love The Altar. It is like getting to read the diary and immerse in the living, breathing inner world of another in a way that feels like, “oh! should I be reading this?” There is an intimacy that stirs emotion, curiosity and my own experiences like I have never had in an online community before. Forest has created a community that is an extension of her inner world and feels like it. The connections, support and thought expansions are magnetic and abundant. In a world where Fo doesn’t hold back her heart, no one else in it does either.”
