As an astrologer, KPF specializes in natal, predictive, locational, electional, evolutionary, and divinatory charts. Their practice is grounded in traditional Western foundations and shaped by both medieval history and contemporary advances.
Their work supports non-traditional leaders, change makers, and cycle breakers through identity shifts, creative pivots, and meaningful healing. With over a decade of experience in the arts, media, and advocacy, KPF brings together cultural sensitivity, trauma-informed care, and intersectional frameworks to create spaces where transformation can take root.
Informed by curanderismo approaches from Indigenous wisdom and certified in hypnosis, they incorporate psychospiritual with somatics to support clients. KPF’s work helps clients identify the patterns, beliefs, and energetic blocks that limit their vision. Through a process that turns tension into growth, they guide clients toward clarity, resilience, and self-trust. Together, they illuminate shadows and transform them into allies.
Before establishing their current practice, KPF spent years in arts programming, cultural work, and community advocacy, collaborating with institutions, grassroots organizations, and independent studios. They have facilitated large-scale public art projects, led workshops in museums and cultural centers, and created immersive spaces for creative and personal growth. Their experience includes leading workshops in museums, managing public art projects, and creating participatory spaces that bridge creativity, education, and social change.
They hold a BFA with honors from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, alongside extensive independent study with recognized experts in astrology, healing, and cultural traditions.
