Our Story - A Healing Journey to Thriving

 

THE SHORT VERSION

I first found astrology through a dream when I was eight years old. In it, I was driving up a winding mountain road — a symbol that has followed me my entire life — and as I reached the summit, the planets appeared in the sky, huge and vivid, aligned like living beings. I wrote it in my journal, drew the picture, and from that moment on, I was hooked.

That dream opened the door to a lifelong fascination with planets, astronomy, timing, and the intelligence of the cosmos. I eventually became a physics and astronomy major, and later, an IIN‑Certified Health & Wellness Coach.

Today, I blend medical astrology, holistic wellness, and aromatherapy into one integrated practice. Every aromatherapy blend I create is crafted with intention — aligned with a planet, sign, or elemental pattern to support the client’s chart and health needs.

My kids still call them my “potions.” My daughter designed my logo. And the photos on my site are taken on my hikes in the mountains that have shaped my life and my work.

This is the heart of Mountain Freedom: astrology, healing, and nature woven together.

THE LONGER VERSION: IT STARTED WITH A DREAM…

The very first spark of astrology in my life came from a dream when I was eight years old. I remember writing it in my journal — the dream was so vivid it felt like a memory.

In it, I was driving up a winding mountain road, climbing higher and higher. Mountains have always been symbolic for me, long before I understood why. When I reached the top, the sky opened, and the planets appeared — not as tiny points of light, but as massive, detailed worlds, like NASA images hanging above me. They were aligned, luminous, and impossibly close.

That dream never left me. I drew it, studied it, and from that moment on, I became obsessed with planets, astronomy, and the movement of celestial bodies. I memorized orbital periods, planetary years, moons, and seasons. My aunt gave me a book about the solar system, and I spent hours poring over the illustrations and stats.

By the time I reached college, I was a physics and astronomy major. I wanted to be an astronaut. I wanted to understand the cosmos from the inside out.

But life had other plans.

A Return to Healing

Fast forward to 2019. After years of personal wellness exploration, I was introduced to medical astrology, and something in me reignited. It was as if the dream from childhood had been waiting for this moment — the bridge between the cosmos and the body.

Medical astrology gave me a language for the patterns I had always sensed:

  • how the body mirrors the sky
  • how symptoms follow cycles
  • how healing is rhythmic, seasonal, and deeply personal

I began studying the nodes, eclipses, astrocartography, past‑life patterns, and the medical signatures woven into every chart. It became endlessly fascinating — and deeply healing.

Around the same time, I became an IIN‑Certified Health & Wellness Coach, which grounded my work in nutrition, lifestyle, and somatic support. This training gave me the tools to integrate astrology with real‑world wellness practices.

Aromatherapy: The Earth‑Side of the Cosmos

During the pandemic, I felt called to support my family’s health in a more hands‑on way. That’s when aromatherapy entered my life.

I learned to craft blends that supported the nervous system, immune system, and emotional body — and eventually, I began creating blends aligned with astrological signatures:

  • Mars blends for inflammation and vitality
  • Moon blends for sleep and emotional regulation
  • Mercury blends for focus and clarity
  • Venus blends for the heart and hormonal balance
  • Saturn blends for grounding and structure
  • Elemental blends for constitutional balance

Every blend is crafted with intention, plant energetics, and the client’s chart in mind. My kids love helping me make them — they call them my “potions.”

A Mountain Home

In 2019, I felt drawn back to my grandparents’ old home in Provo. A spontaneous detour revealed a “For Sale” sign, and a hike up Cascade Mountain sealed the decision.

That hike introduced me to Freedom Mountain — the namesake of my business — and the place where I’ve taken many of the photos on my website. My daughter designed my logo from one of those images.

The mountains became the physical mirror of the dream I had as a child:
a winding path upward, toward clarity, perspective, and alignment.

Where It All Comes Together

Today, my work is a fusion of everything that shaped me:

  • the dream that opened the cosmos
  • the years studying astronomy
  • the training in holistic wellness
  • the healing journey through aromatherapy
  • the deep dive into medical astrology
  • the mountain that became home
  • the desire to help others heal, grow, and understand their path

Mountain Freedom is the meeting point of sky, body, and earth — astrology, wellness, and plant medicine woven into one practice.

I hope you find the reading or blend that supports your next chapter.
It would be an honor to walk that path with you.
