About

When you own regalia that you look forward to wearing, the best version of you is presented in your attitude and in your prayer. You end up better focused, at ease, and ready to take on the present moment. I'd like to help you feel even closer to these ideas. More comfortable in your own skin and even proud.

I am a mixed-blood, off-reserve, non-status, First Nations woman. Thanks to the efforts of my Mum, my family has reclaimed our culture and I have been in ceremonies since I was very young. I am an active member of my spiritual community, a grandmother’s helper and a Sundancer of 12 years. My roots originate from the eastern United States and I have since immigrated to Canada in 2018.

I have been sewing professionally and for my spiritual community for over 20 years. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Costume Design and Technology and have worked in costume shops at multiple regional theaters across Connecticut and New York. For many years, I worked as an assistant to a master dressmaker, making costumes for off-broadway shows in New York City. After immigrating, I was the bridal alterationist at a bridal boutique in Ottawa, Ontario for several years. 

Following the Covid-19 shut downs, I had a lot of time to reflect on what was most important to me. Ultimately, I found that I was the most fulfilled when helping my Indigenous community, sewing garments that would help someone on a spiritual, ceremonial level. The desire to help the people in this way was the ultimate inspiration to begin Sacred Tree Sewing in 2021. I know that the creator has led me to this place, right now. If I am able to help clothe you on your spiritual journey, I would be honored to do so.
