I have always had the sense that I am walking in two different worlds.
Growing up, I didn’t have a context to place my otherworldly experiences into. While my inner dialogue was quite strong and active I didn’t speak much growing up. My imagination, hands and feet were very busy. Much of my time was spent in nature, talking with the moss, salamanders, the sand, to spirits, not necessarily to people in this physical realm.
It wasn’t until I found shamanism and animism that my internal lens came into greater focus. Finally there was a framework to understand my otherworldly communications, interactions and downloads. Soon I came to realize that I spent most of my life outside of my body. My personal work was to develop tools to create healthy boundaries and daily ritual to ground myself and my body with the Divine. The practice of shamanism has brought me back into my body. It has allowed me to feel safe within. Shamanic practice grounds me. It helps me create space within myself to live and to travel safely.
I am a healer, a teacher, an artist and a holder of brave space.
My constitution allows me to easily see, communicate and offer healing to spirits and to identify energy fields, connections and patterns invisible to the naked eye. My compassionate spirit guides allow me to witness the tracing of the great thread of life through the web of incarnations and find the energetic connections to and influences on current time.
My compassionate spirit guides discover and transmute energetic blocks within the physical and energetic body, including attachments to the past and the future, whether these blocks have formed along lineages or from other incarnations, including those sent by and taken on from others or from the collective. The essence of my work with my guides is the creation of space for you to see your divinity and connection to the great web of life, stepping into and living out of your personal power.
Past lives, past incarnations and ancestral burdens and curses need healing, and my compassionate guides can facilitate this. Unhealthy fields might be bound to this life you’re leading. We can work together to unravel fields on a deep level. Access your vibrant ancient ancestors and your lineages’ vibrant ancient gifts through ancestral healing. Your ancestral gifts can nurture you and tune you into your soul’s path, your calling, your work in this life.
This healing work lights me up and lights up my life. There is no greater joy then witnessing the healing process of others and those around me both seen and unseen. I wake up with excitement and with a humbled heart for this work and for the community I serve, for you.
I have deep reverence for my teachers in the spirit and physical worlds.
My studies, work experiences and travels are stored in my heart memory with great gratitude. I have travelled around the world to experience life in many cultures from Western and Southern Europe, China, Mongolia, South Africa and Central America. My shamanic and ancestral healing studies have taken me to many realms and allowed me to experience the fluidity of time and space.
My undergraduate studies in psychology and graduate studies in counseling created a solid foundation for my work as a shamanic practitioner. Exploring areas such as death and dying, developmental psychology, abnormal psychology, experiential psychology, group dynamics, counseling theory, educational planning and career development continue to lend their gifts to my work. I consider myself a lifelong student and have recently studied animist psychology and completed a certificate program as an End of Life Doula.
My work in the spirit world transcends boundaries, moving from the intangible to the tangible through my fiber art.
I found the ancient art of felting at the same time I started to study shamanism with Windhorse Circle in Pownal, Maine. I have an eclectic background in the arts, and it offered me a unique foundation to explore this new medium. I see my art an expression of my experience of the energetic world. I create art to demonstrate the joining of the unseen and everyday worlds, of the unspoken and spoken word. My art is inspired by my shamanic journeys and meditations as well as the personal stories and histories of the people I meet, the animal and natural world, the mystery and treasures of the sea, and by my personal ancestral symbols.
As I reflect back on my eighteen year career in New York City it feels like another lifetime, and yet it was a lifetime spent nurturing and supporting my current work. My collective experience has cultivated a unique and deeply personal approach to ceremony, ritual, rites of passage and holding sacred space. I spent my previous career working with high school and college students of all ages which gave me a rich background in holding space for learning, discovery and counsel.
During that lifetime in New York City, I wasn’t fully connected to my body and was ignoring my overall wellness. I heard the call of the compassionate spirit world but didn’t know yet how to respond and fully listen. It was in New York City that I met my husband, Jason, who brought me to his home state of Maine where my whole life shifted.
The land of Maine gave me a second chance at living. It is a life I am deeply grateful for. The inspiration of the land fuels my dedication to my personal Hollow Bone work so that I can continue to be a conduit for compassionate spirit to facilitate healing for you.
