I have been a pharmacist since 1988, and although I love the science and the challenge of the work, I’ve always known that there is a more intuitive way to heal, body and soul. As a child, I would play in the woods, creating "medicines" out of things I found in the forest, pretending to be a healer. All of nature was my teacher; the trees would share their wisdom with me, the animals were my friends and would show me where to find ingredients for my potions, the wind would carry me away, journeying to other realms. When I started school, I soon found out that if I wanted to fit in, I would need to conform, leaving the world of the spirits in the woods behind. The next 35 years, I existed in societal conformity, secretly longing to be free.
I met my first teacher of shamanism in Connecticut and pursued my formal studies in Ancient Peruvian shamanism. I was initiated in the sacred teachings of the Q’ero shaman, and began my shamanic healing practice and teaching in Connecticut before moving to New Hampshire. My next mentor came onto my path from Ireland, who carries and teaches ancient Irish Shamanism and the Way of the Seabhean. The Seabhean is a wise woman who walks the path between the worlds. She holds the presence and abilities of the shaman and the wisdom of the Cailleach, the ancient old woman. I have completed the spiral teachings, as well assisted in teaching with my mentor These teachings weave in the sacred feminine which our planet is calling to come forth to bring balance back to our Earth, our Mother. The way of the Seabhean resonates deeply in my bones and calls to my own European ancestry. Ancient Irish Shamanism has a way of balancing out the masculine teachings from Peru. I hear and answer the deep calling to share my gifts and medicine with others, to commit to a shamanic life that is in harmony with living in today's world, to be a guide for others to heal their deep wounds, scars, and trauma, to assist in bringing balance and ease back into their lives, as well as offer a shamanic perspective to those that are awakening in the great global shift (see more below). Shamans believe that all disease begins in the energetic, and over time can result in changes in the physical body. My medical background combined with my shamanic training and years of experience gives me a unique insight into healing the body and soul.
I have studied on the land in Ireland, in the cloud forest of Costa Rica, and the sacred mountains and jungle of Peru, as well as here in the US. I have a keen interest in how genetics and quantum physics are beginning to scientifically explain that which the shamans all over the world have known for millennia; how shamanic healing effects and shifts our energy bodies and physical bodies.
I have been a shamanic healer, teacher, and mentor since 2012, weaving together an eclectic shamanic practice with shamanic practices from around the world. The first decade of my practice was the classic sort of shamanic healing, but have found a notable shift in the clients that have found me the past few years. The classic methods of shamanic healing still apply, but humanity is waking up and my shamanic work follows with what is needed. There is a global shift happening in both humanity and the Earth herself. We see it, read about it, hear it and some of us feel it deep inside of us. The old ways are unsustainable and terribly out of balance. Many cultures around the world, individual seers, and even astrology tell of ancient prophecy and knowing that this shift is eminent, and is in it’s infancy right now. People are awakening, stepping into consciousness more than ever before. This can be confusing, fearful and unsteadying. I have been chosen to be a beacon, guide, and mentor for this new path of humanity, a way forward that brings balance, harmony, and an awareness of connection to all. You do not need to walk this path alone. Reach out to me for this path of shamanic work.
I see clients in my Concord office, as well as by remote sessions via phone or Zoom, worldwide. Let's talk about how you can start living your authentic life with grace and peace.
