Blacksmithing

Jardine Canadian Giant 25lbs mechanical hammer.

I forge each piece with a respect for tradition — and a willingness to adapt. While I honor the old ways, I’m not afraid to incorporate modern tools and processes when they serve the craft. For me, it’s not about staying stuck in time — it’s about making something real, by hand, that works and lasts.

Every knife or tool I make is meant to be both beautiful and functional — a true heirloom piece. I especially enjoy working with wrought iron, a rare material that’s no longer made. It behaves differently than modern steel — textured, alive, full of character — and when it’s forged into something new, you can feel the history in it.

To take raw material and shape it with your own blood, sweat, and tears — and know it will still be useful long after you’re gone — there’s nothing else quite like that.

Leatherwork

Leatherwork is slower. Quieter. It’s where I find flow.

Each piece I create is completely handmade — hand-cut, hand-punched, hand-stitched. Every item is one-of-a-kind, built with care to be used, worn, and lived with.

There’s a certain peace in watching the pieces come together — from a flat sheet of leather to something whole and lasting. Wallets, small bags, belts — each one is designed for practical, everyday use, and made to age beautifully over time.

Reiki and Tarot

I offer Reiki and Tarot sessions as another way to support people — not through tools or materials, but through presence and subtle energy.

I’ve been practicing Reiki since 2023, and I’m now a Level 3 Master Practitioner. I tend to work just off the body, allowing the energy to settle and shift without intrusion. My style is calm and grounded — I’m not overly chatty, and I try to let the session speak for itself.

In 2025, I began reading Tarot as a way to connect more deeply with my own intuition. I see it as a tool for reflection — a mirror to hold up in moments of uncertainty, decision, or self-exploration.

Whether you’re looking for support in a hard moment, or just curious about what comes up — my goal is to help you find calm and clarity.
