Behind Tender Soot Studio
What's in the name?
For me, Tender Soot represents that fragile space that holds us through life-changing transformations. The space that feels quiet and slow, when the secrets are still yours to hold or to give. During sessions, I strive to curate such a space, where you feel curious & comfortable, leaning into the narrative of you.
I am here to document stories of transformation, which include any of the grief and the growth that you've endured, should you choose to bring that into our session together. Let's illustrate your story together - whether you want to share it with the world, or keep it for yourself.
