My mission is to shine my light bright and to be in service to humanity by supporting people to live their life to the fullest.

I completed my Bachelors degree in Psychology at UC Santa Barbara.  I went on to complete a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute which focused on Depth Psychology and Jungian Psychology.  I found my passion for dream work and wrote my thesis on the healing qualities of altered states of consciousness.  It was through this exploration that I felt a knowing that I wanted to get training in shamanism.

I met my first spiritual teacher right at the same time that my marriage was ending.  The divorce was devastating for me and led me into a depression where I was faced with all my insecurities.  I was in my late 20’s and it was seemingly, the lowest point in my life.  I slowly but surely began the long process of healing and putting myself back together and that is when I met my spiritual teacher, Judy Christenson. 

My training with Judy began in 1997 in Ashland, Oregon.  My biggest take away was learning how to take responsibility for my thoughts, my emotions, my actions, my beliefs and my self judgments.  This had the effect of unraveling my ego conditioning and allowed me to create more space inside myself to hear my higher self more clearly.  I began to feel more present in my body.  I felt more self love and more love for my family, friends and all life.  This work with Judy altered the course of my life in every way.  I feel immense gratitude for what she offered us in her class.

In 2021, I felt a strong calling from my higher self to move forward with getting trained as a shamanic practitioner, and was drawn to work with Beatá Alföldi.  She offered an accredited shamanic practitioner training that blew my mind!  The training was so healing for me that I knew that I found my calling: to offer these shamanic tools to other people.

The seed to become a shamanic practitioner that began in my 20’s had finally sprouted 30 years later and it has been a dream come true.  I feel like I was born to do this work.
