My healing work began in my early twenties and spans three decades. I've lived and worked in ashrams, opened and facilitated healing centers, traveled from Eastern Europe to South America, homebirthed two beautiful children, and have written two award-winning/nominated literary poetry collections.

 

Over the years I've been guided, initiated and deeply influenced by numerous teachers, medicine people, and gurus (the most noteworthy being Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, and the rare living jewel, Shiva Rudra Balayogi). In the fullness of my practice, I draw from my own Celtic roots and from a deep connection to India (my grandmother was born and raised in India, as was her mother and grandmother).

​

I've undergone traditional Shipibo-Conbo and Mestizo initiations in the Amazon jungle, as well as Celtic and Vedic initiations. I work as a Curendera  with the permissions and blessings of traditional healers, and carry the medicines of many Master Plants. I have full certification in trauma-informed facilitation through Aya Healing Retreats, and my work is deeply influenced by poly-vagual theory, and somatic therapy practices.

​

I live and work with gratitude and reverence on the homelands of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples and the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples (lower Vancouver Island): həyšxʷq​́̓ə siiem (thank you honorable ones). I share ceremonial work with my partner, who is a Kambo practitioner, Vedanta mentor and meditator, and inspired singer-song-writer.
