I’m Trinity, a bodyworker, blacksmith, and wilderness rites of passage guide.
I’ve always liked to have many irons in the fire.
Certain threads of interest — how bodies work, making beauty, and playing with fire — have especially persisted.
I seek to be a carrier of tools and skills that are being passed down to help us navigate the challenging journey of humanness.
I seek to be a carrier of the wisdom that comes from deep presence with what is right in front of us. The kind of expertise that comes from following our own strange path.
✧
As a bodyworker I have a strong, intuitive touch.
Through my studies and internship with DeAnna Batdorff I have gained the use of many incredible tools, and honed my ability to read the tissues of the body and encourage transformation.
A deep love of learning makes me an enthusiastic resource for practical solutions to health challenges and healing of all kinds.
My practice is dedicated to Guan Yin, compassionate one who hears the cries of the world, and for whom the famous tea, Iron Goddess of Mercy Oolong is named.

I look forward to working with you.
