From the moment I first visited a healer at 21, I felt a deep calling to help others experience profound shifts and healing. Over the years, my own journey has been shaped by both traditional and alternative practices, each contributing to my understanding of transformation. I have been fortunate to study under honored shamanic mentors, assisting them in their work and gaining invaluable insights into the healing process.
These experiences, combined with my graduate education in therapy, have greatly enhanced my ability to support others on their own healing journeys. Along the way, I've encountered numerous rites of passages—processing early trauma, getting sober, giving birth to my son, navigating divorce, and grieving the loss of my mother, followed by the death of one of my dearest friends— all while balancing the demands of motherhood, relationship, and my professional work. Each of these experiences has enriched my understanding of healing, and as I continue along this path, I share this wisdom with my clients to support their growth and development.
With over 25 years of experience, I weave together the wisdom from my mentorships, my studies and my life to guide others through their own transformative processes. Through shamanic bodywork and ceremonies, I help clients release trauma and shame, clear fear and emotional blockages, and restore a sense of balance and self love. Whether working one-on-one or in intimate groups, I create sacred spaces that nourish the mind, body, and spirit.
I have also had the privilege of teaching at Naropa University and MAPS, where I guided students through shamanic realms, and at Rebecca’s Herbal Apothecary, where I led herbal classes wrapped in women’s wisdom and ceremony. These teachings, rooted in earth-based practices, inform every healing session I offer, ensuring that each is a unique and deeply transformative experience.
In my work, I incorporate practices such as plant brushing, abdominal massage, spiritual baths, extraction, soul retrieval, and ceremony, all of which help clear stagnant energy and open space for what truly nourishes the soul. Clients often report deep relaxation, emotional balance, and spiritual nourishment, and as they release what no longer serves them, new possibilities begin to unfold.
These shifts often lead to profound evolutions—ushering in a renewed sense of worthiness, greater clarity, healed relationships, release from old patterns, and deep forgiveness. I witness my clients rediscover their true selves, where emotions like grief and anger can be witnessed and flow freely, creating room for positive, lasting change in their mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
If you feel drawn to explore how my work may support you on your journey, whether through shamanic sessions, ceremony, or classes, I invite you to reach out.
With deep gratitude, I honor all of my teachers who have shared their wisdom and gifts with me. I have immense appreciation for Ann Drucker, whose many teachings were passed down from her dear teacher, Miss Beatrice Waight, a Yucatec Maya Traditional Healer. I also extend heartfelt thanks to Raven Keyes, Sandra Ingerman, my close-knit community-seen and unseen, my most delightful plant elders and my beloved family.
