My introduction to astrology came through a woman I met during a Pilates teacher training in Costa Rica. She was an evolutionary astrologer, and something about her light and vibrancy just never left me. She was the first person to ever read my birth chart.

Five years later, my Saturn return hit and everything I had built came apart at once. My relationship ended, my business dissolved, and I moved across the country with no clear direction. I came out of that chapter of my life with a shaky sense of self, and I needed something to help me find my way back to my own energy again. Astrology became the tool I leaned into. It helped me connect with a sense of purpose, a deeper understanding of how I was wired, and a level of self awareness that genuinely changed the way I moved through the world.

The deeper I went, the more I became fascinated by the connection between the birth chart and the heart. Specifically the research coming out of the HeartMath Institute, which looks at how living in coherence with your own heart field changes everything. I began reading birth charts through that lens, as a map of where your heart is flowing freely and where it's carrying distortion.
