Inchantmint’s Founder is a passionate cottage witch and the heart behind Inchantmint – Your Cottage Curator of Spells and Handcrafted Magical Crafts. Rooted deeply in the sacred art of cottage witchery, she has dedicated her life to guiding others on transformative journeys of personal growth, spiritual awakening, and self-empowerment. Through thoughtfully crafted digital spellcraft products and soon-to-come handcrafted magical items, Inchantmint offers carefully designed tools that help you connect profoundly with your inner power, attune to the natural rhythms of the earth, and embrace the sacred magic woven into everyday life.
At the core of her work lies a unique blend of diverse experiences and profound wisdom. As an INFJ Scorpio, she embodies qualities of deep intuition, emotional insight, and fierce determination. Her personality type is characterized by an unwavering commitment to authenticity, meaningful connection, and purposeful living. This foundation allows her to perceive the subtle energies that influence our lives and to translate complex metaphysical concepts into accessible practices that resonate with seekers at any stage of their spiritual journey.
Her intellectual gifts are remarkable: with an IQ of 181 and an emotional intelligence quotient (EIQ) of 160, she balances razor-sharp analytical thinking with profound empathy. This rare combination enables her to approach metaphysical science not only as a field of study but as a living, breathing path that integrates mind, heart, and spirit. Her academic background includes a degree in Metaphysical Science, grounding her practice in both ancient esoteric wisdom and contemporary approaches to spiritual healing and growth. This unique educational foundation enriches every product and service she offers, ensuring that her work is both deeply informed and practically applicable.
Life experience further shapes her mission. She is a devoted wife of over 30 years, a mother of five children, and a homeschooling parent—roles that have cultivated patience, resilience, and profound love. These roles also enhance her understanding of human development, learning styles, and the importance of nurturing individual potential within a supportive environment. Her family life serves as a living laboratory for her spiritual teachings, inspiring a holistic approach that honors the interconnectedness of family, community, and nature.
Her compassionate spirit extends beyond human connections to encompass the natural world as well. As the keeper of a feral community cat sanctuary, she lives her values of care, protection, and stewardship for all living beings—especially those often marginalized or misunderstood. This role embodies her belief that magic is not confined to ritual or spell but is expressed through acts of kindness, guardianship, and respect for life in all its forms. Her sanctuary work illustrates a deep commitment to environmental harmony and animal welfare, reinforcing the principle that healing begins when we recognize our shared existence with all creatures.
Her diverse professional background further enriches her approach to spiritual guidance. She is a former ordained metaphysical minister whose experience allowed her to serve communities with compassion and spiritual insight. She also held the role of social community chairperson, where she facilitated connection and support among diverse groups. Though no longer practicing as a nutritional health and fitness coach or life coach, these former roles have deeply influenced her holistic perspective on wellness and personal transformation. She understands that physical health, mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual growth are interconnected threads in the fabric of well-being.
Uniquely, she blends metaphysics, Hermeticism, Gnosticism, esotericism, Kabbalah, and quantum physics into her cottage witchery practice. This multidisciplinary synthesis creates a rich framework that honors both ancient wisdom traditions and modern scientific understanding. By integrating these philosophies, she offers a layered approach to magic—one that respects mystery while engaging with intellectual rigor. Her work invites seekers to explore reality beyond surface appearances and consciously co-create their experience with awareness of unseen forces.
Drawing from years of experience as a certified metaphysical practitioner, she integrates spiritual guidance with practical wisdom. Her approach transcends dogma or rigid tradition; instead, it invites seekers to embrace their own inner authority while receiving support grounded in centuries-old knowledge. She weaves together elements from various spiritual disciplines—alchemy, herbalism, astrology, energy work—into a cohesive tapestry designed to empower individuals in their personal transformation.
Her guiding principles reflect a dedication to authenticity, empowerment, compassion, balance, and respect for nature’s cycles. She believes that true magic arises when we align with our authentic selves, honor our emotions as sacred messengers, and engage with life’s challenges as opportunities for growth. She encourages embracing shadow aspects—not as weaknesses but as hidden strengths waiting to be integrated. Through this lens, every spell or craft becomes an act of conscious creation rooted in self-awareness and intentionality.
At Inchantmint, she champions the idea that transformation is not a solitary endeavor but a shared journey of collective awakening. The energy exchanged between practitioner and seeker is sacred and powerful; it transcends the individual ego to tap into universal wisdom. This perspective offers a fresh esoteric approach to spiritual growth—one that balances mystery with practicality, ancient tradition with modern relevance. Whether you are just beginning your path or deepening your practice, Inchantmint’s offerings serve as gateways to uncovering hidden treasures within your consciousness and embracing the magic that surrounds you every day.
In addition to crafting digital spells designed to manifest health, abundance, protection, and clarity, Inchantmint will soon introduce handcrafted magical items imbued with intention and love. Each item will be created with mindful care—honoring the natural materials used and infusing them with energies aligned to support your highest good. This expansion reflects her commitment to providing diverse tools that meet varied needs while maintaining integrity and authenticity.
Beyond products and services, Inchantmint is a community—a space where seekers can find encouragement, share experiences, and cultivate deeper understanding. Through the coming Inchantmint Cottage Sanctuary forum, writings, and personal consultations (maybe planned for the future), she aims to foster connection grounded in respect for each person’s unique journey. She understands that spiritual growth is continuous and nonlinear; it requires patience, courage, and an open heart.
The founder’s lifelong dedication to metaphysical study and practice is matched only by her devotion to living these principles daily. Whether tending her sanctuary cats at dawn, guiding her children through lessons at home, reflecting on hermetic teachings under moonlight, or crafting spells late into the night by candlelight, she embodies what it means to live in harmony with spirit and matter. Her life is an example of how spiritual practice can enrich every facet of existence—from family relationships to community involvement to creative expression.

As a Cottage Witch Metaphysical Scientist — a short, warm explainer to guide you to calmer clarity, real habit change, and gentle integration.
I listen to the hidden conversation between meaning and matter. Trained in metaphysical inquiry, I study patterns beneath appearances: how attention shapes feeling, how ritual reorganizes habit, how symbols steer the heart and the nervous system toward new possibility. I bring scientific rigor to the subtle—careful methods, clear frameworks, and measurable practices—while keeping everything human, tender, and alive.
This work is not cold analysis. It’s soulful craft: spells and experiments designed to be felt, repeated, and integrated into ordinary life. I translate complex systems—Kabbalah, Hermetic thought, energy work, and modern research on attention and habit—into simple, comforting tools you can use in your kitchen, at your altar, or in a ten‑minute pause between tasks.
Why it matters:
- Evidence meets enchantment: practices tested with structure, not slogans.
- Results you can feel: small, steady rituals that shift mood, focus, and home life.
- Safe curiosity: a kind, non‑dogmatic space to explore shadow and light with clarity.
- Everyday alchemy: learning to turn daily attention into lasting inner change.
For you who want depth without overwhelm, I offer friendly maps, energy and perception shifting spells, gentle experiments, and clear steps—so you can tend your hearth, tend your inner life, and watch subtle shifts become real change.
