Saskia Mt. Zion

Saskia Mt. Zion AKA Zion graduated from Northwestern University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Art Practice and Theory. She went on to live in Berlin, Germany and toured with hardcore bands, becoming involved with the reggae music, clubs, and art scenes of Europe. After traveling through the middle east and Africa, she lived in Texas (where she became a reiki master) and California (explored her love of the metaphysical) and then moved back to her hometown of Milwaukee to raise her three children and be closer to family. She pursued her music career, delved deeper into the healing arts as well as oracle cards and mediumship and then went on to teach yoga, meditation, pilates, African dance, as well as restorative yoga until she was diagnosed with cancer in 2014. She then became a student again and started learning ashtanga yoga, various indigenous healing modalities, and researched alternative cancer treatments for years until she started reversing cancer in 2019. She went back to school in 2020 for Digital Media Production at MATC where she soaked up tons of technical knowledge in video production and social media. She worked as an intern with Milwaukee PBS for two years doing social media and working on local in-studio productions on camera, switcher, CG, prompter, as well as floor director. After losing her singing voice due to some cancer-related vocal cord paralysis, she turned to the turn tables to express herself musically and has been enjoying DJing in clubs and private parties as well.

Her international travels, rich emotional experiences, love of technology, wide variety of contacts, and eccentric view of life give her a broad spectrum of ideas to use as inspiration for her work. She thoroughly enjoys all things related to art, music, humanity, and healing.
