they/\them/\theirs [within the languages that have the option]
my first name means dew-water and my last name means will-bear-fruit. these meaning-makings happen in hebrew, which is my mother tongue. i am the continuation of Arab Jewish lineage from Falastin, Sephardic lineage from Salonika, and Ashkenazi lineage from Poyln. i am a queer trans non-binary death laborer carrying a prayer for the liberation of the land of Palestine and the lands of our bodies.
i believe in healing at the pace of our nervous systems and moving at the pace of our breath*. digging the ancient practices of death, grief, and ritual in our own lineages to radically shift how we live and tend to life. i keep fires and submerge myself in ocean and sea water often. as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and state-violence i believe we can embody our wholeness through the reclaiming of our sexualities, memories, and sensorial sensitivities. soul retrieval breaks the dams inside our own bodies free. i affirm the knowing that you are your own healer and that you are already whole. as an energy work practitioner i intuit myself to be a vessel for your path and healing. holding a space for co-creation, co-conspiration, and wild imagination. a space for heart.
i founded true name collective in 2022, after years of self and communal practice. this space and offerings are here to be of service to you. please feel free to write me with questions, inquires, wonderings, or to schedule your free consultation:
