About me

I offer private coaching sessions by phone or online. To make an appointment, click Book Now, email me or see my “contact us” page for all the other ways you can reach me. I like to combine astrology, myth, tarot, hypnosis and NLP techniques because I find that each can be useful in given situations. However, if you have issues with or concerns about any of these modalities, I can adjust my coaching to your needs and comfort.

I am proud to teach the History of Western Astrology courses and Mythology for Astrologers at Kepler College and I co-teach the Delineation and the Counseling series with Karen McCauley, MA. See the Kepler Course Catalog here.

This blog is the continuation of a newsletter series I started in 1999 and continued through 2008. The switch to WordPress encouraged shorter posts reflecting a variety of topics rather than long monthly subject-focused and multi-columned newsletters. This change was fun for me and I posted daily for a long time. You’ll see several ways to navigate the site, there are choices in the menu bar across the top, more choices in “pages” in the sidebar, including a link to Scott’s blog, the Duncan Domain, and some other sites I frequent, you’ll also notice many other links further down the sidebar in “links,” these are websites I use myself and find that I am always recommending to others.

So, what do I do when I am not here? I have been married to Scott Duncan for over 30 years and we moved to Tucson in 2019 after living in Seattle for 30 years. We have 2 dogs and a cat. We travel whenever we can, and I write and make textile projects. I weave, knit, crochet, spin yarn, and make the jewelry components and other stuff that goes into my pieces.
