I face to the east, the sun always shines on me, this knowledge is woven into me, I am happy, I am whole.

​

My first experience with a Shaman was in Hawaii in 2008, where I studied La'au Lapa'au, native Hawaiian plant medicine, with Kahuna Kumu Leina'ala and lived with her for two weeks. When healing a conflict or sickness with traditional Hawaiian methods, multiple levels are seen as linked and are addressed. These include a spiritual/soul level - (shamanic), a physical level (La'au Lapa'au), and an inter/intra personal level (Ho'oponopono). These levels of healing continued to intrigue me and, after La'au Lapa'au, I built on this knowledge with both shamanism initiation and an M.S. in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution.  

​

Another teaching I’ve remained devoted to since 2009 is the spiritual cosmology of Kamit. This knowing has awakened within me through discipline practice of Ra Un Nefer Amen’s Metu Neter series and initiations.

​

I have completed almost all of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies workshops and have been practicing Core Shamanism since 2020. Most recently, I completed the Three Year Advanced Initiations program. 

​

I use the title Shamanic Practitioner out of respect for cultural Shamans. Traditionally, this is a title given by the community, not the person providing healings. I didn't grow up in a culture which supported and trained shamans but I have found my way back. My soul awakened to a spiritual illness which ultimately became the catalyzing force to total and complete soul and life transformation. Although I have many healing modality interests, I only offer Core Shamanism methods during my shamanic healing sessions. 

 

I am here to help you claim what is rightfully yours, and provide you with the spiritual medicine necessary along your healing journey.
