Hi,
I’m Alycia
I’m a women’s circle guide, gardener, and urban homesteader who believes that nature is the oldest teacher we have, and that when we recalibrate to her rhythms, we recalibrate to ourselves. I teach people how to grow their own food and understand their land through hands-on garden coaching, the same way I guide women in circle through practical embodiment skills, earth-based ritual, and honest reflection. Everything I do is rooted in helping people reconnect to their own inner knowing through co-regulation with nature, whether we’re tending a bed of soil or the parts of ourselves we’ve neglected for too long.
I know what it’s like to forget the simple fact that we are nature, because for fifteen years after a series of life changing reconstructive surgeries, I lived in a body I couldn’t fully feel. I was disconnected, exhausted, and constantly trying to out-run discomfort while pretending everything was fine. And while I still managed to build a beautiful life during those years, I could never fully inhabit it. Anyone who’s lived with chronic pain knows how it erodes the parts of you that once felt vibrant.
I didn’t find my way back through a single breakthrough. I found it through years of lived practice, study, and being guided by both human and more-than-human teachers who helped me rebuild a relationship with my body, the land, and my own intuition.
What began as survival slowly became devotion. I trained in meditation and ecosomatic practice, studied herbalism, built relationships with plant guides and allies, and deepened my connection to the earth through gardening and seasonal living. I taught mindfulness in elementary schools and later supported others in plant medicine integration work.
And long before I was leading women’s circles, I was a theater artist and drama teacher, holding space in classrooms and rehearsal rooms and guiding thousands of group processes rooted in presence, expression, and trust. Over time, the tools that helped me come back to life (and the facilitation skills I’d been developing all along) merged into the work I now offer women.
What I Do
I help women rebuild their relationship with the natural world, starting in the garden and rippling outward into the way they live, care, lead, and make decisions.
My work weaves together practical organic gardening, seasonal living, and personal reflection. I teach women how to grow food, tend soil, and create resilient home ecosystems as pathways back to competence, confidence, and connection in a world that constantly pulls us away from our own instincts.
This is not about aesthetic homesteading or performative sustainability. It’s about learning real skills, understanding natural cycles, and remembering that we are participants in the living world, not just consumers moving across its surface.
How I Support Women
I support women who give a lot to their families, their communities, their work, and are ready to build a relationship with themselves, nature, and other women, that also gives back to them.
Through garden consultations, seasonal circles, workshops, and educational programs, I help women:
Learn how to grow food and medicine in the spaces they actually have
Understand soil, seasons, and ecological patterns in a practical, usable way
Develop self-trust through hands-on skill building
Reconnect with their bodies and nervous systems through seasonal rhythms and Earth based ritual
Move from overwhelm and disconnection into grounded, capable action
The garden becomes a place to practice patience, boundaries, observation, and care. As women learn to tend soil, they also learn to tend their own energy, attention, and inner landscape.
My role is part educator, part guide, part practical problem-solver. I translate complex ecological and growing knowledge into clear steps, while also holding space for the deeper shifts that happen when a woman begins to feel at home in her own life again.
This work helps women step out of constant urgency and back into a slower, more rooted way of living — one where tending the land and tending the self are not separate tasks, but the same practice.
