may you come to know
what it truly means to be
held, by all of life
It has often been said that we are living in by far the most dynamic period in human history. In fact, it is a privilege to be alive at this time - to participate in and be witness to this ever-changing world. With all that life throws up, invites, pushes forward, swallows, heralds, blesses, as human beings within this vast web of life, we are being increasingly called into our multiplicity, as well as our singular being-ness. As such, we are each being encouraged into deep exploration and conversation with all of life, as both the student and the seasoned - in whatever area of life we find ourself. For those of us that possess high sensitivity, we are likely feeling much of the subtle changes that lay along and within the fringes of the macro shifts much more acutely.
The truth is truth is embedded within the “both, and”. We are learning as a species that multiple things can be valid at once. In order to address the outer world and its cry for change, we turn inward to embody betterment. We lean into our gifts and talents. We become the singular being who contains multitudes. And we learn to navigate life’s unfailing cracks and openings with grace, embodiment and love.

My name is udee.
I am a multi-talented shapeshifter. A being who plays in many different realms. Primarily, I am an animist, poet, griotte (storyteller), lifestyle and fashion photographer, wisdom keeper, and energy worker.
From childhood, I have been immersed in sacred, spiritual life. My mother Magdalene especially cultivated a religious household that was rife with mysticism and devotional living, frequently reminding me to “talk to the trees, talk to the wind; they have ears”. It is through this familial lineage of artists, medicine women, garden-tenders, and healers that I have the permission and blessing to cultivate my own intimate connection to Source, angels, the natural world, and the more-than-human realms.
From this foundation, I branch into the world with my creative gifts and inclinations. I draw upon my sensitive constitution to navigate the world. My purpose as a human being is to be of embodied service to the Earth and all her inhabitants through my he(art)-work.

photography services
My artistry is an exploration in and of feeling, connection to nature and divinity, life’s subtle and sacred moments, love, movement, and the beauty and mystery of the everyday. These themes are central and embrace everything I create, especially photographically. My portraits are rich in colour and expression, capturing life as it presents in its fullness and curiosities.
Exhibitions include the Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA)’s “The Future Happened”.
I invite in the opportunity to co-create beautiful images together.

intuitive healing sessions
My energy healing offerings are steeped in a nature-based modality called Etheric Gardening™ created by Maryam Hasnaa, where we delve into the formless realms where ideas are born, energies are cultivated, and true relationship with all that life engages. As a psychic and energy practitioner, I offer and co-weave a compassionate, courageous container - in a safe, one-on-one session - for you to learn the supportive tools you need to cultivate your own internal landscape, your own etheric garden, that will serve as your own inner paradise. You will also learn the basics of energetic self-management and energetically work with the elements of the natural world to support your path as a full, embodied human being.
What you can expect in a session:
~ energy work
~ nature-based attunement
~ nervous system regulation
~ deep listening & wise witnessing
~ flower essences to journey alongside
~ self-empowerment through being your true self
All sessions are conducted virtually, where you will be able to record your sessions.
