More ABOUT Robin

​Robin is highly sensitive to the energies of others, stemming from use of empathy to alert and warn of any volatility, violence, or otherwise unpredictable behavior of the traumatized children she grew up with. She found in her adolescence that time outdoors in nature helped to reset her energetic system. Born and raised in the high Nevada Desert and growing up at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Robin has always emersed herself in nature and the outdoors. An avid skier, backpacker, cyclist, and stand-up paddle boarder, Robin relies on Mother Nature to recharge and ground her through the hardships life brings. Leaning into the wisdom of trees, fungi, and the furred and winged creatures with whom we share this beautiful planet brings a remembering of the balance to be found by following our instincts. Robin loves to share her outdoor hobbies and passions with her husband and children and hopes to bring the lessons of nature into her music and coaching to create diverse communities where strengths are lifted up and areas of weakness can be met with complimentary strengths witinin others. 

 

Robin is a mother and step-mother to two daughters and understands from deep personal experience the challenges facing women and girls today, especially with social media and AI. Her work in child welfare has resulted in exposure to intimate details of sexual perpetration and violence against women for many indivual cases. Now watching the uncovering of ungodly rings of powerful men profiting on the lifetime effects of the crippling abuse of girls and women, while our sitting president bends the Justice system to his will to cover it up again.​ Understanding from childhood the harm of domestic and family violence, addiction, poverty, homelessness, and untreated trauma and mental illness; seeing how that harm is deeply absorbed by the children. In child welfare long enough to see the generational cycles of that harm, watching as those same children who entered child welfare due to the abuse or negligence of their parents, then grow up to perpetrate the same harm on their own children. Work in systems through a lens of Social Work, has enlightened Robin's perspective to all the ways our system is failing to raise and cultivate healthy children and families, and all the holes in policy and gaps in resources to effectively intervene to protect children, when the system being used to do it is as corrupt with patriarchal values and power-over structures as the system that created it. Participating in such structures when it goes directly against personal values is called Moral Injury. Using the patriarchy to "heal" the generational wounds created by the patriarchy can never truly heal. But women who want to "help", to "heal" are forced to do so within the system that created the wounds in the first place. It's time to imagine something NEW!​

 

Robin began playing violin in 6th grade, when she got involved in the free music programs provided by her public school system. She has relied on this gift of music to express and cope with the emotional pain of the harrowing exposure to human suffering that Robin has witnessed from such an early age. Music has been the only expression that has healed Robin's own HEART center from the layers of armor that exposure to this knowledge has caused her to put around her love and compassion, containing it, protecting it because the pain in today's world is too overwhelming! ​

Applying principles from Buddhist, Hermetic, Celtic, Jewish, Gnostic, and Vedic traditions, as well as sacred geometry, numerology, and Jungian depth psychology, Robin creates rituals and practices to connect with the Sacred Feminine through sound healing music using violin, rhythm, vocals, pan drum, and ukulele for meditation and vibrational tuning of the subtle energy body.
