My background in spiritual guidance and counseling evolved over decades of intensive shamanic work and focused learning from intuitive therapists, respected spiritual teachers, and indigenous medicine carriers who shared their wisdom, lineages, and direct transmissions with me. I am eternally grateful for the 12-year relationship I've had with my primary healer/teacher (who refuses to acknowledge he is a teacher at all.) He has played a vital role in shaping the way I hold space for both my students and my clients, and has greatly influenced my own guidance style - one that places integrity, alignment, safety, and love at the center. I am also indebted to the Sufi master with whom I studied in France, who first activated my innermost heart. And to the Yawanawa family of Amazonian Brazil for sharing their pure, un-unadulterated, Earth medicines with me. Recently, I also had the privilege of learning from the greatly-understated Dr. John Beaulieu, a brilliant and powerful soul. And, finally, I am grateful beyond words for my most reverent teacher: my Beloved. Our relationship is a continual, profound, sacred dance...and the most transformative spiritual practice I've ever had.
