America's First Female Serial Killer...
A vicious B$&tch. A Streetwalker. A Monster.
deemed 'The Damsel of Death' was killed on 10/9/02 by lethal injection for the murder of 7 men between 1989-90. She claimed Self-Defense, but who would listen to a pr******te in a time before we even talked about trauma, PTSD, & brain injuries?
I'm intimate with the failures of the medical & judicial systems, both personally, professionally, & as a volunteer child advocate-but no case has Ever broken my heart like Aileen's.
Born to a teen, abandoned, raised by grandparents who further abused her, her young life was Full of Horrific s❌abuse. She gave Her baby up at 14, began living in the woods, & supported herself by selling her body.
Aileen is a representation of how Magnificently we Continue To Fail Survivors. Her story mattered Little in the courtroom-the Fact that her first kill was a Convicted Ra**st who served 10Yrs Never entered the chat. The fact that he r***d her, sodomized her with a steel pole, then poured alcohol into her wounds didn't matter. Her brain injury, inability to think logically in these moments, & repeated history of abuse that Keeps one's brain Living in Survival mode-Did Not Matter. Even in 2025, Women are Repeatedly shown that Men's Desires Matter More Than Our Safety.
As women, it feels like our options are often victim or villain-prey Or Predator. As a survivor, I Too have been pushed to the brink to save myself in more than one situation. I've resorted to Biting my predators forearm, drawing blood to get out of his grip; in another, I threatened his life with a knife.
You have no idea how far you'll go Until it's You in that situation-& society doesn't make allowances to girls that 'get themselves in trouble.'
If your life is in Danger, there is No One To Save You, you Must Rely on Survival Instincts; & when you Live in Survival long enough, that's All you Know.
Aileen's story speaks to Survivors as deeply as Medusa's-they Fought back, their name Will live on. Telling Their stories, My Story, & supporting women in holistic recovery of s❌trauma so they Can Defend themselves is how I Fight back.
*This is from my "Prey To Predator: Monster Or Protectress" workshop I did last year detailing Aileen/Medusa's story. Comment 🐍 if this is a workshop you'd like access to this fall! This Venus in Scorpio Retrograde is Going to be dredging up Many s❌Trauma Wounds. 🫂💓
September is National Su***de Prevent Month 🫀Please Stay Another Day. ✨🫂💫💓
My life has been deeply impacted by su***de. My SIL, my BIL, my younger brother, and last year a client/professional colleague. At some point, I want to speak on Them-but today I want to speak to the Women who have considered taking their Light out of this world because of the pain they've Endured.
I want you to Know how Valuable you are. I want you to Know there Is Light on the Other Side of your Darkest experiences. I want you to Understand how Precious your unique struggle Is, even if that feels Unfair.
I am Officially on vacation & you're going to see a lot of my personal life in the coming weeks. The coming months are Exactly what I've been working So Hard towards as a business owner - being able to create a work life Balance where I work my A$$ off for several weeks, then close off my schedule and Embrace Life.
I am Really Excited for this time in my Life and Honestly, I Feel like I am Embarking on the Most Important work of my Life. At 44! I am So Excited to start each day & BE in the Life I've prayed for. The days are Long but I Wanted This and I'm going to Do it to the Best of my Ability.
I'm in my 9th H Profection Year, which is about higher learning, Deeper philosophy, Travel & Publishing. This next year will be Very Saturnian & Jupitarian themed and I am planning accordingly.
But social media tends to create distortion & you get to see the Highlights. You don't See the things that Forged me To Be Able to Effectively do work around su***de, grief, loss, death, 🍇 - you don't see the backstory of what made it possible for me to Stand in the Pain of someone else's story without flinching.
I cannot count to you the times I wanted to give Up, the times that I almost did-& I can't put into words my Appreciation to my Highest Self and GOD for Saving My Life So I could do this work with and For you All.
You don't See the little girl who continually had the cops at her house, who repeatedly lied to CPS in the guidance counselors office, who came home to creepy men wanting to touch her.
You don't see the little girl who cried to her mommy "why do you hate me so much?" Only to have the door slammed in my face.
You don't see the substance abuse to numb that led to more violation that turned into Slut shaming and there was no one to turn to about what was happening to me.
You don't see the young woman who stayed in an abusive relationship with a man who repeatedly had his hand around her throat and her face in a pillow, while he violated my first child out of my body.
You don't see the girl who wanted to show others what was possible, only to be repeatedly torn down by those that were supposed to protect & love her; a girl who rarely let herself be Seen in accomplishments because someone was quick to remind her she didn't Deserve it.
You don't see the other man who convinced me I was crazy & worthless to the point I let him rob me of motherhood.
You don't see the scared girl sleeping in a rental in a Walgreens parking lot & showering at the beach in Hawaii feeling like a complete failure.
You don't see the 30yo who almost ended it all on her birthday because she was in the middle of a 2.5yr Unemployment, creditors were calling her every 30min, she awoke in her closet sized room to the stench of alcohol seeping through the walls.
You don't see the nights I almost ended my marriage.
You don't see the way it felt to ask the One Person who I thought Always had My Back if She Knew & then the line went Silent...
You don't see the sister who endured 20yrs of Emotional & Verbal abuse so her sibling wouldn't feel abandoned, until she had No Choice but to cut that relationship off because of her BIL's su***de.
You don't see the eldest sister who Blamed herself for 8Yrs for her younger brother's death/su***de, Only to find out her sister encouraged both the brothers to end their life.
You don't See the Nights GOD & my Higher Self pulled me Up Out of that Grave, so I could Be Here to Guide you out of Your Darkness.
I See now how Every Single Excruciating part Fits into God's plan for me, because Even the Horrendous stuff I am using to My Advantage.
Who do you want to prove Wrong about you? Who is on the Other side Screaming for you to Make It? Who is just on the other side of the Veil Protecting YOU?!
I Fought like HELL for My Worth, My Voice, My Right to Life and to take Up Space. It cost me babies I've never seen. It cost me the people I Loved Most in this world. So I'm going to Keep Fighting-scared, exhausted, broke, sad, alone, misunderstood, raging, JOYFUL-I'm going to Embrace it All. I Refuse to let the Dark Overtake me because I Am God's Girl. I Only ever come back Stronger, Sassier, and More Menacing, More Filled with Light from Every setback.
I Finally Know that not One Person will Ever lay a Finger Or Word on Me again Without Massive Karmic Retribution.
I am Divinely Protected & I am going to Walk IN that Light and bring that Knowing to Other Women.
I Hope you're one of them. I Hope you will stay one more day and look for the Angels & the Signs of your Worth because you are So Valuable and So Is Your Voice.🫂💓🗣️

DIVINE FEMININE+DARK GODDESS+ASTEROIDS 💫
4 READINGS LEFT FOR 2026!!!🤩☄️🌌
I've been studying the Dark Goddess archetypes and Divine Feminine Mythology in the natal chart for the past 5yrs.
In trying to understand my own experiences of s❌Trauma, grief, and Loss I fell down the rabbit hole of shadow work combined with natal transits-& started seeing patterns between these darker experiences and the service our Soul has been called Into.
In my unique 2hr 'MYTHIC MAPPING OF THE FEMININE SHADOW' I weave together your story of over 25+ asteroids, together with the element, mode, sign, planets, and asteroids to bring clarity to what your Soul Path is and How to work With the Repression & Shadow for the Most Aligned Expression of your spiritual blueprint.
My offering is a Very Intimate and Emotional Initiation into the Power of these Goddess energies. I've worked with su***de survivors, widows, mother's who've lost children, survivors of sibling/parent loss, and survivors of s❌Trauma to help them better understand how to move forward from these painful experiences.
I also offer an Extended Death Transit reading where I look at the date of passing of a loved one to interpret how to navigate the loss. In these Readings, I typically come across Many YODS and transits that Validate something for the client. *This is how I fell into believing in astrology and it is Extremely Powerful!
*Please Note, I will not take on clients that are currently in an abusive relationship.
My Intention in my entire practice is to help you Alchemize the wounds/Integrate the Shadows and Alleviate guilt, shame, repression, and learn to Advocate for your needs.
In addition to my readings, I offer a referral list to other practitioners I've personally worked with: psychics, past life readers, tarot readers, acupuncturist, reiki, spiritual advisors, etc. When you come to me, you are going to be Deeply supported with info. I'm a 1/3 in Human Design!
I have a thriving massage & herbal practice to accompany my Divine Feminine astrology readings so I can support my clients holistic recovery process, addressing Body, Mind, & Spirit and my schedule is BUSY in the coming months!
Because of that, I currently ONLY HAVE 4 ASTROLOGY READINGS OPEN FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2026!!!

2yrs Since HELLene 🌀⛈️🌬️
As I enjoy the breeze through the windows this morning, the sunlight, the Power to make my husband breakfast and snuggle in our home all day for some Much needed relaxing-I can't forget what WNC woke up to 2yrs ago.
On Wednesday night before the storm, my husband called me at the office and urged me to hurry up and get home. Streets were already flooding & it had taken him 2hrs. Thursday our dental appointments were cancelled so we shopped for my Fall Grand Opening that wknd. We weren't worried that this was going to be anything other than a regular storm.
On Friday morning, power went out around 6am & water went out. I took some video footage of the creek out back that had begun raging. As I stepped back inside, I heard an Eery sound, cracking and I Knew a tree was coming down. If we had been on the 2nd floor and the tree had come all the way through, my husband would be dead because he was in bed. Thankfully the big oak only broke through a portion of the apartment above and the neighbor had just left.
Then the sunshine came. We napped, read books, played guitar and Scrabble by candlelight, surveyed the damage in the surrounding area. We pooled our food together with neighbors and made a fire out back. The apartment complex gathered around my husband's work radio several times a day, waiting for updates. People came on horseback to bring us water and medical supplies. 😭 We filled up the garbages with the rain water and used that to flush the toilets. All my witchy mason jars came in handy when a neighbor went to get us water.
We really had no idea what was happening and then we heard them start announcing on the radio "biblical levels of devastation". Then someone from town came around with a piece of paper written on with black sharpie basically saying they didn't know when water would be back and if we could get out, we should. We couldn't leave until Monday/Tuesday when they reopened 26, we drove down to SC and then back up to Charlotte to a friend's house.
We had to move everything from our bedroom into another room because we figured there would be water damage from the broken roof above. I don't use the words "it looks like a hurricane came through" to describe the messiness of my house anymore, bcz that week there was mud everywhere, buckets and pots of water, dirty dishes and laundry piled up, completely insane.
We finally got spotty service Monday morning and I tried calling my best friend. I knew she'd be watching tiktok and know about the storm, and I thought she could hear me when I said I was ok, but she later told me all she heard was me crying. She joined a Facebook group to search my name of the missing. Of all the things that Broke me about that time, this was at the top. She does finally hug me back and tell me she loves me so I know it rattled her good. When we drove out of town I remember being so overcome with emotions because All you could see coming in was the Helpers-the firetrucks, Red Cross, Ambulances, Truckers with supplies...😭😭😭
What we experienced was Absolutely MINIMAL compared to Others-and it Still changed me, my life, and the way I engage with Life. I have Always been a Grateful person, but you truly do not Understand the Luxury of Everything until you don't have the basics.
Of All the worries I had about starting a business, Never on that list was a Global Pandemic Or a Hurricane in the Mountains. You truly cannot prepare for Everything but you can waste a Lot of life making excuses and worrying over BS.
In the months that followed, the devastation continued to be witnessed. The places we spent the majority of our time we're either forever altered, not accessible, or Literally Gone. The river rose 25-30Ft, literally pulling away bridges, leaving mud 20ft+ in trees (your mind can't even comprehend how it got there).
One of the Hardest days was when we finally walked through Biltmore Village. The Christmas Shoppe was a place I'd been going to for 20yrs, we bought our yearly Christmas ornaments there, & it was completely destroyed. Finding Christmas ornaments caked in the mud destroyed me, but Then, I found one with Proverbs 31:28-
Her Children Rise Up and Call Her Blessed. 🕯️😭
There is Always something born in the Destruction - let it be a new You. Let it be a more Grateful, Thankful, & Resilient YOU. 🫂💓
Despite the Horrendous and Horrific experience our community went through, we saw the Helpers EVERYWHERE. The Country came together for us. People gave So Much in those days. Followers I'd never even connected with her sent me money to help, clients bought & invested and Gifted me money in those weeks. I felt SO Cared for like I never had before. My friend opened her home to us and cared for me.
*My office is about 2m from one of the hardest hit parts but we kept water and had no damage! While I stayed in Charlotte with friends, my husband came back to work immediately and when I returned, I went right back to Massage (because people Finally Understood what it meant to carry grief/trauma in the body, the survivors guilt was unreal at that time!). I began offering online workshops and I Stopped worrying about How to make my business 'work' and I just continued to do the next right thing.
I have so Many things to say about that time, but I think these pictures will convey some of what it was like.
I am Eternally Grateful to Every first responder, every single human that did Good for one another in such a devastating time. 🙌🫂💓✨

The Harvest Full Moon arrives in Aries today, at the beginning of the zodiac, and there is something beautiful about reaching an ending under the sign that represents beginning again. Full Moons bring chapters to culmination. Aries reminds you that what comes after an ending is not emptiness. It is possibility. It is the part of your life that has not happened yet.
Think about who you were when the chapters you are closing first began. Think about what you were afraid you would never recover from, the future you were certain you had lost, the people you thought you could not live without, the nights when getting to a better life felt impossibly far away. You could not see this version of yourself from there. You could not see all of the ways life would keep moving, or how much would change simply because you kept moving with it.
That is the message of this Full Moon: **you made it far enough to begin again.** Aries does not ask you to drag the past into the future so you can prove you survived it. It asks you to turn toward what is still alive inside you. There are people you have not met yet who will become impossible to imagine your life without. There are places that will become home, opportunities that will change your direction, and days ahead that will make you grateful your story kept going. Today is an ending. But look at how much life is waiting on the other side of it.

Last October I traveled to Omega Institute for my first astrology conference (which was near my massage school) and I went back home to see friends. Jupiter in Cancer makes us nostalgic and it was SO Beautiful and warming up my Soul.
This year my husband and I are going back for his 30yr reunion next wk where we will celebrate with friends, go to the Homecoming football game, and then travel through the Adirondacks & up to Burlington, VT! Our Anniversary is Oct 8 (10YRS!) and this time of year is Always Magic.
When I realized at the astrology conference last year Venus retrograde would happen in Scorpio and Libra, Specifically over my Pluto/Cloelia in Libra and Jupiter in Scorpio.... Well, I've been freaking a bit all year! 😅 It's hitting my 6th h and my Husband's 12th-& there are Certainly Massive changes ahead for us Both (but All Blessings!)
Seeing how these transits have Opened Up So Many opportunities for us makes me SWOON and I Genuinely want other people to Realize how Magical it is to be effectively working your chart.
*This Doesn't Mean there aren't Incredibly Difficult aspects to overcome, it Does mean Continue having Faith in coming out the other side.
Soon I'll share a bit about what I was navigating this past year during the Aries/Libra Moon last year, for now, enjoy these very treasures pics from my last trip and stay tuned for more to come!
My posting will be sporadic the next 2wks. Monday I'm finishing up massage & All astrology orders then I'm officially OFF for 2wks!!! I have been pulling 16days for what seems like 2months and I am just Ecstatic for some nature time and catching up with loved ones! 😘
