About
Hello, my name is Alexis Miki Rau and I'm so glad you're here! Forest Fairy Mama feels like my soul identity, my higher self if you will. I feel like I was a fairy in a past life and my purpose isn't all that different in this one: to be a magical little creature doing what I can to heal and nurture the Earth and others, all while enjoying the beauty life has to offer! In all seriousness, I think my purpose (and maybe all of ours) is to create, be authentic, share, to heal, grow, and evolve, to experience joy, and to be the best version of myself I can be.​
My main passions in life are motherhood, mother nature, and self-healing. I came to self-healing through experiencing trauma and deciding I needed to use it as fuel to find myself instead of losing myself.
My first love was the ocean, and as I studied it in college, it also became an irreplaceable ally in my healing journey. After graduating and travelling, the love, peace, and comfort I'd found in the ocean began to shift to the forest; the diversity, the interconnectedness, the wisdom in the trees, plants, mushrooms, insects, and animals all working together in perfect harmony. I got into gardening and eventually I found permaculture, and it ignited a fire in me. I've always followed what keeps that fire going, what feels right within me, what brings me joy, passion, and inspiration. And that tends to change, but for now here I am writing about those things that inspire me and sharing them with you! Thanks for being here!
