~Educating and Guiding One Plant, One Still, One Soul at a Time~


Kind Words

“I wholeheartedly recommend Kaysi to anyone seeking to explore the healing powers of plants and mindfulness practices. Her profound insights and unwavering dedication make her a true gem in the realm of holistic health and wellness.  I initially connected with her to enrich a day retreat for my team of school leaders and close friends; from that moment onward, Kaysi has become an invaluable partner!  Her ability to combine science with spirituality, and her genuine desire to help others, shines through in every session.”
Dr. P. Vazquez-Vialva, Executive Director Youth, Health & Wellness, Santa Clara County Office of Education

“I have worked with Kaysi in multiple domains -- largely because I elect to hire her every chance I get. She is too talented to pass up. I have had the pleasure of seeing her sharp mind and incredibly personable approach in action as a holistic practitioner, a leader within a community-based wellness space, and an eldercare provider and case manager.  She possesses an incredibly unique combination of traits that make her an invaluable companion to individuals and families navigating the challenges that accompany illness, death, and dying: she is profoundly knowledgeable, unwavering in her ethical commitments, and she demonstrates a rare brand of authentic compassion at every turn.”
K. Green Tripp

“Kaysi’s loving presence and gigantic heart makes her an incredible space holder.  I’ve known her for 30 years; she is solid, compassionate, and highly intuitive.  She is kind, and holds people gently in love.”
Padma Gordon, author of Being Together:  Practical Wisdom for Loving Yourself and Your Partner.

“After a bell’s palsy episode, Kaysi helped ease me back into my skin and into a parasympathetic state of healing with a foot bath, supportive oils, and an energy medicine session that made me feel seen, held, and helped me to see myself, my strengths, and where I still need repair.”
Zoë K.

“Kaysi’s teaching style is very engaging.  The activities she prepares are always thoughtfully conceived, and comprehensively presented.  Further, she asks students many questions that allow them to become fully involved in the enriching discussions that lead students to gain a deep and lasting understanding about the benefits of essential oils.”

A. Shapiro, Heath & Wellness Educator, K-8

"I have known Kaysi for six years when she was teaching at the Botanical Arts College.  Through an exercise in class it became clear to me that she was powerfully intuitive and commanded an energy that was deeply transformative.  My healing journey had already spanned decades, including multiple modalities, still I was hindered by fear, depression, and lack of self worth.  We forged a healing partnership that was beyond anything I had experienced before.  Kaysi can tune into my energy and tell me where I am blocked or bogged down.  Over the next several years my energy began to flow in a way I had never felt before.   Things were opening up in my body that transformed my ability to live and feel in a dynamic way.   Kaysi has a calming, gentle approach that always feels comfortable and easy.   Sometimes I feel the release of old material and that has been profound in my healing.  I find her to always be authentic, intuitive, gentle, loving, and wise; she is a blessing to anyone she comes in contact with."

Why the name Eagleskeeper?
It’s what my glider pilot father used to call me, and later my daughter when he heard her heartbeat in utero! I wear it as a badge of honor, to uphold all he (& my mother) instilled in me as vital for a good life: integrity, service, beauty, & soaring high, always looking for life’s thermals!
