The motherline is an ancient current of blood, memory, instinct, and magic, carried from woman to woman across generations. Motherline Grimoire invites you to follow that sacred thread through mitochondrial DNA, intuitive genealogy, ritual, and elemental magic, back to the women who came before.

I’m a multi-genre author and poet whose work explores the intersection of genealogy, folklore, and women’s spirituality. I’m also a registered nurse, medical writer, and genealogist who brings an evidence-based perspective to my writing by weaving history and science into my work wherever I can. I’m the author of The Magic in Your Genes and the forthcoming Motherline Grimoire, among others, and I've been walking a delightfully wild and magical path for nearly 40 years. When I’m not writing, I travel the world in search of grandmothers, tend my flower gardens, and wander the woods near my home in Virginia.
