Meet Your Shamanic Practitioner

My Journey to Shamanic Healing

I never planned to become a shamanic healer. Like many who walk this path, I was called to it through my own search for healing and deeper meaning.

Growing up in California, I experienced both joy and unspeakable childhood trauma. Later, when my mother, my emotional anchor, died of cancer during my final year of high school, sports became my sanctuary. Besides being exercise, hockey and distance running were moving meditations that taught me the healing power of physical expression and the wisdom our bodies hold.

After college, I moved to Taiwan and explored meditation and yoga, but something was missing. Everything changed after I participated in shamanic healing and ceremonies. I had direct experience with the spiritual realm and found peace with my past. When my father died suddenly weeks before my wedding, my spiritual practice and perspective gave me tools to navigate the loss with wisdom and grace. The understanding I gained processing my own grief and trauma now guides my work helping others reconnect with their wholeness and navigate life's challenges.

Training & Shamanic Approach

I completed advanced shamanic training through the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, where I learned the core shamanic practices that form the foundation of my healing work. I practice Core Shamanism, which focuses on universal principles found across indigenous shamanic traditions worldwide, making it accessible while honoring ancient wisdom.

My shamanic practice also incorporates:

  • Sound healing using drums, rattles, singing bowls, voice, and chanting

  • Reiki energy healing for additional spiritual support

  • Guidance from compassionate helping spirits who direct each shamanic session according to your unique needs

  • Herbal remedies when guided by the spirits

What makes my shamanic work unique is the integration of healing with practical guidance. Many practitioners offer powerful spiritual experiences, but clients are left wondering, "Now what?" I combine my natural gifts as a teacher with shamanic healing to help you understand what happened in your session, why it matters, and how to integrate those changes into your daily life.

I'm comfortable with psychopomp work—helping souls transition and clearing spiritual disturbances. While some practitioners find this work unsettling, I welcome these opportunities and find them deeply meaningful. Perhaps my own close relationship with death and loss has prepared me for this sacred work.

Who Benefits from Shamanic Healing

Shamanic healing can help people experiencing:

  • Trauma - understanding and walking the long journey toward healing

  • Loss and grief - both recent and long-held

  • Life transitions - career changes, relationship shifts, spiritual awakening, relocation

  • Spiritual seeking - feeling called to something deeper but unsure where to start

  • Feeling stuck or disconnected - from yourself, your purpose, or your joy

I welcome all who feel called to shamanic healing and spiritual work. My helping spirits have wisdom for a wide range of situations, and I trust their guidance in serving each person.
