Hello Beautiful Heart!  I hope you are feeling amazing today! I’m delighted to have the opportunity to share a bit about myself with you.

Most recently I’ve given myself the Title: “Multi-Certified, Fiercely Compassionate, Channel for Evolutionary Transformation and Soulful Living”.

I am committed to supporting individuals through periods of loss, change, and/or stagnation.  I expertly guide them through a process of energetic clearing and self-realization, enabling them to tap into the deeper meaning of their life purpose.

The following were some of the “triggering” events that put me on the path to wanting to understand healing, life, and death more deeply.

*I was diagnosed with a rare cancer at age 17.  After several surgeries, I was cancer-free, although my upper back was poorly affected by the surgeries. I had to manage ongoing pain regularly.

*About a year later, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer.  My mother passed away when I was 22.

Taking painkillers for the pain in my back was not something I wanted to continue. This led me to explore new ways to help myself.   Yoga, acupuncture, herbs, meditation, and breath-work were the first things I found. I received great healing on many levels through these modalities.  Early in my journey, I became a personal fitness trainer and yoga teacher.  I competed in power lifting and figure competitions, taught yoga and fitness classes, and worked with private clients.

In my search for understanding, I traveled to many places around the world.  In Spain, I trained with Zelia Pye to become a Shamanic Trance Dance Guide and Guardian.  This healing modality is so powerful that I wrote and published a book called Heal and Recharge Your Body, Mind, and Spirit with Shamanic Trance Dance – A quick-Start Guide for the Beginner.  I traveled to the Sacred Valley of Pisac, Peru, to work with medicine healers Angela Blueskies, Diego Palma, and Don Augustine.  While in Pisac, I facilitated Shamanic Trance Dance for the Sacred Valley Tribe.   I went back to Peru many times to learn, grow and support these healers.  This is when I was introduced to Shamanic Healing.   I traveled to Canada, Mexico, Tonga, Ireland, Italy, and Egypt, to name a few.  I sailed through the B.V.I.’s.  I went to many Caribbean Islands.  I studied many alternative ways to heal and support others from teachers in most of these places.

Life continues to present obstacles and difficulties for my growth and expansion. The tools and techniques I have learned allow me to navigate those challenges with grace and inner authority.  I no longer see life in terms of problems to overcome or endure.  Life is a classroom, a playground, an adventure, and a mystery, inviting exploration. 

I’ve taught and/or facilitated numerous fitness classes, yoga classes, breathwork workshops, guided meditation classes, shamanic trance dance sessions, and medicine ceremonies over the past three decades in the USA and abroad.   I’ve worked with private clients on yoga healing, shamanic soul and energy clearing and healing, end-of-life doula services, and spiritual mentoring.  I have recently completed two Master Life Coaching certifications and am now accepting clients.  Please go to my Offerings page to read more about what I’m sharing these days.

I continue my professional growth.  I am currently enrolled in an advanced training apprenticeship, which spans several years and requires numerous trips to Spain, under the guidance of my Shamanic Trance Dance teacher, Zelia Pye.  I am also a full-time student working towards a master’s degree in Psychology with an emphasis on Dance Movement Therapy.
