My middle name is Rose, after my great grandmother. I learned later in life that she kept both a Bible and a tarot deck close at all times. Since then, it has felt like a quiet kind of inheritance.

​

The Wilde Rose represents not only my design, grounded, sensory, rooted in beauty, but also this phase of my life. Wild, thorny, always questioning, and willing to go into the deepest crevices for answers.

​

As a Taurus sun and Scorpio moon, I’ve always been drawn to what feels alive and true beneath the surface. As a child, my parents gave me a book called Why Ask Why. It didn’t land. I kept asking anyway.

 

These days, my friends call me the angler fish because I’m comfortable going deep into the unknown, into the places where patterns, truth, and meaning quietly reveal themselves.

​

For over twenty years, I’ve owned and operated a home decor boutique with my mom. Together we built Purple Rose & Co. into a space rooted in beauty, connection, and intentional living. What I once thought would be my forever career slowly became something else entirely. A mirror. A training ground. A living study in rhythm, human nature, creativity, expansion, contraction, and what happens when something no longer fits the person you are becoming.

​

I’ve been married to my Libra husband for over twenty years. He keeps me balanced, while our Aquarius son continues to teach me more than anyone about individuality, perspective, and letting people become who they are meant to be.

​

Most days, you’ll find me walking wooded trails near my home with my rescue dog, Gus. That’s where I compost my thoughts, listen closely, and allow clarity to come through. I travel when I can, not just to see new places, but to feel them. I’m endlessly drawn to the ancient world, to Mary Magdalene, the wisdom traditions, the feminine current running quietly beneath history, and the deeper intelligence woven through nature itself.

​

I’m also a 1/4 self projected Projector, if you speak Human Design. The labels aren’t the point, but they do help describe something I’ve always intuitively known about myself. I’m here to observe, synthesize, question, and guide from lived experience rather than rigid formulas.

​

I didn’t set out to do this work. I set out to run a business. But over time, the deeper thread underneath everything became impossible to ignore. The patterns I saw in business were the same patterns I saw in relationships, identity, creativity, mothering, the body, and the seasons of life itself.

​

The Wilde Rose emerged from that realization.

​

A space devoted to rhythm, truth, individuation, and learning how to move with life instead of against it.
