My healing story
I am a transformational leader, healer, medicine woman, channel, and guide dedicated to raising consciousness for the healing of this world. A profound death experience revealed that my purpose is to love myself well so I can love others well.
Through much healing and learning, my path has been fully embraced. I now support other healers, light workers, highly sensitive individuals, shamans, channels, entrepreneurs, creative professionals, and those seeking to lead a more connected life.
My work in the health and wellness fields extends to supporting individuals undergoing transformation through life events such as death, loss, trauma, and grief, as well as those who have experienced life-changing plant medicine journeys.
Guiding people to heal their thoughts leads them into a consciousness rooted in love and the unity of heart and mind. Having awakened to my true purpose and identity, I assist others in uncovering their own, helping them find inner freedom and live Spirit-led, joyful lives filled with purpose and love.
Spiritual journey
Ten years ago, during a private rafting trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, I had a profound realization. The peace I felt in the canyon was in stark contrast to my anxiety-filled life.
Despite a successful career, I felt unfulfilled and anxious. I ventured out on my own at age 26 and ran a successful marketing and design firm for almost 30 years. Outwardly, my life was successful. However, the pressure of managing a business, completing an overwhelming number of daily tasks, caring for my family, and trying to find quality time in nature and with my husband left me feeling sapped of my creative energy and unsatisfied.
Living closely with nature and being able to let go during the river trip helped me see the lack of fulfillment and excitement in my work. The contrast was eye-opening, revealing how disconnected I was from my true self and purpose.
Exploring healing and transformation through sacred plant medicine
My journey as a lifelong spiritual seeker began at age 25 by attending Landmark, formerly known as EST. A year later, I began a 26-year journey with a metaphysical coach and guide based in Vermont, leading to explorations in energy medicine, meditation, and other healing modalities. Yearning for deeper understanding and meaning, I eventually joined an ayahuasca church shortly after the Colorado River trip. This church, legally recognized by the Supreme Court to use ayahuasca as a sacrament, became a turning point in my journey.
Over the next seven years, I underwent profound shamanic initiations with sacred plant medicine. The ayahuasca journeys revealed unresolved childhood trauma, including sexual assault, guiding me through healing. I unraveled and reconstituted myself, creating a new self with a greater vision and purpose.
Navigating the depths
My experiences included encountering my death, healing a severe back injury, traveling to other realms, communicating with non-physical beings, clearing my ancestral line, and feeling true divine forgiveness. However, the church’s religious ideology couldn’t fully explain these experiences, so I sought guidance from elders and indigenous teachers.
During this time, I also learned about energetic boundaries—where mine ended and another’s began. Growing up in a family with mental health issues, I unconsciously took on others’ problems, pain, and suffering. It took time and experience to learn how to let go what was not mine.
Recognizing and addressing energetic boundaries and patterns was a significant part of my healing journey. The ceremonies and rituals, gifts from my guides, taught me somatic practices of release and letting go. With the help of ayahuasca and mushroom teachers, I learned to embody many life-affirming human qualities, such as love, respect, compassion, empathy, acceptance, and forgiveness.
Embracing my calling
My experiences revealed my purpose: to serve humanity in a healing capacity. Initially, feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt held me back. However, I connected deeply with my higher consciousness and guides as I sought a larger vision and perspective.
The connection to the divine love and healing present in this plane healed my nervous system. Through my studies of trauma and its manifestation in the body and mind, I realized that my nervous system was healed through the vagus nerve and with the help of plant medicine. I discovered I had been caught in a flight, fight, and freeze response since childhood.
I rewired my system by recognizing deeply ingrained mental patterns and consciously creating new, healthier ones. “A Course in Miracles” significantly helped me shift my thoughts from fearto love, complementing the healing effects of sacred plant medicine and guidance from myspiritual teachers.
Offering healing in the light of new beginnings
Recent legal changes in Colorado prompted me to offer this new medicine openly. I now have a wealth of tools to transform challenges into gifts and blessings. Finding a nature-connected healing coaching program through the Earth-based Institute allowed me to combine what I learned from plant medicine and the healing powers of nature.
I wove these insights into my guiding and coaching skills, helping myself and others find long-term healing solutions and tools they can integrate into their lives. This approach allows my clients to heal, incorporate life lessons and learning, transform trauma, and open themselves to greater vision and purpose. It supports them in finding meaning and a reason to live, knowing their purpose, and walking that path with peace, love, and JOY!
My experiences have prepared me to coach and guide others effectively because I’ve lived through them and integrated the lessons. I learned to truly listen to my Higher Self, my soul, and my guides—however you choose to name it—for direction. I can now lead others into this place of listening and inner knowing.
