The Aura Maps Story
I've always loved travel, but the dream to become a digital nomad didn't land in my body until 2015. And it wouldn't come to fruition for another six years.
In 2021 I was working as a Human Design Coach, dreaming of travel but feeling frozen in the mid-pandemic uncertainty. An opportunity to do an Astrocartography session came to me, and though I was skeptical of the system, it felt like a fun way to remotely explore the world.
The Astrocartographer invited me to send the top 3 travel destinations I felt most drawn to, and explained that she’d give an energetic reading based on those. At the time my top three were Thailand, Paris, and Bali (where I’m writing this from now!).
I’ll never forget how that call started. The Zoom room opened, we had a bit of small talk to get to know each other, and then she got right to it. “Look, I’ll tell you about the places you mentioned. But you have to know that the most supportive place on the planet for you is the UK.” I laughed and shrugged it off. I genuinely had no interest in going there, and still wasn't fully convinced of the validity of this map.
Six months later, after the biggest upheaval of my life to date (hello, Saturn return), I was packing to leave the city I’d called home for four years and the relationship I’d called home for two.
The plan was to spend some time with my mom in Tennessee, and then a few weeks exploring Europe for the first time.
As I was organizing my things, I heard my inner voice say clear as day: “You’re not packing for what you think you are.”
​
At first I laughed. When you have to get to LAX, there’s no time for riddles. But I had recently started my Inner Voice Facilitator training, and had made a commitment to myself: no matter what my intuition guided me toward, no matter how crazy it seemed, I would follow.
I could feel my body edging into panic mode, which I knew meant my inner voice was trying to communicate something important - and I needed to pay attention. I sat down on the couch and moved myself through a somatic release practice until I could feel my system relax. As my body calmed and my mind quieted, I heard a single word from within.
“London.”
Two weeks later I was touching down at Heathrow for what I thought would be a few week trip. Almost four months later I was still there.
The energy I experienced in England (where my Sun, Venus, and Mercury lines cross), changed my entire being, and my dream of becoming a digital nomad unfolded before my eyes. In fact, it's what I've been living ever since.
The full details of what unfolded on those lines are too much for this space, but the depth of what I experienced made me realize how potent Astrocartography really is, and I leaned all the way into exploring it.
I’ve since been to twelve countries and eight Astrocartography lines, and as you can see from the existence of this website - it's become a pretty massive part of my life.

Over the last three years...
Pluto taught me how to heal deep ancestral patterning.
Venus brought me to a soulmate.
Uranus shook me out of low self-worth.
The Sun taught me how to shine without fear of being "too much."
Saturn tough-loved me into routines that support the life I want to build.
Neptune used my dreams as messengers for clarity.
Mercury amplified my voice and helped me birth the self-paced courses you’ll find on this website.
​
And Mars helped me channel all the transformation I've been through and bring it into form.
Speaking the language of the planets was a natural transition from my experience with Human Design, and in 2022 I started guiding other travelers and nomads through the guidance of Astrocartography and into a unique approach of how to work with it.
My intention isn't just to help you choose a location: it's to use my background in personal development to support you in having the most transformative experience possible when you get there. I'm a deep believer that each one of the twelve Astrocartography bodies has medicine for us at different stages of our lives, and it's my love language to help you find the ones that are right for you.
If you’re here, you’ve found the full-blown expression of that love and I’m so excited to finally share it with you. If you're not sure where to begin you can take our free quiz to find the best planet for you, or navigate straight to the Guides if you already know exactly where you're headed.

Sending you so much love wherever you are in the world! Thank you for being here.
