A Holistic Approach
My offerings may seem eclectic. Yet they are all different approaches to help you come home to yourself, to help you remember who you are, where you belong, and what is sacred. We all, at some point, experience struggle, defeat, suffering, loss and intense emotions. It can be a challenge to find our way through difficult times and yet wisdom, a sense of belonging and homecoming await us. Sometimes help is needed. These experiences need to be held tenderly, with attention, compassion, and kindness.
These experiences offer a glimpse of the holy. We are meant to be radically changed by these experiences. Identity slowly emerges from the inner and outer threads, woven together to craft something unique and beautiful. It would be an honor to assist you in your evolution. In the words of Carl Jung, "to heal meant to “make whole,” and the word whole and the word holy are both derived from “heal” to describe an invisible concept of life, so that in the beginning, as in this hour, so much later than we think, the condition of wholeness and holiness are synonymous.”
End of Life Doula
I think of death and dying as a time when we enter the Great Mystery. It’s a time when so much of life can feel beyond our control. How do you open to this unfolding with grace and dignity? Much of my decade and a half of hospice volunteering and End of Life Doula training focus on living well (up until death), finding meaning, and honoring people where they are. My approach is spiritually-centered end of life care where we embark on heart felt exploration of spiritual beliefs. We look at how one unravels a life they have spent so much time and energy building so they can come to peace at the end of life. We look at unfinished situations that need honest tending for personal healing and for the healing of relationships; we create sacred space and we attend to ceremonial tending of thresholds. Additionally, loved ones are supported during their time of grief and loss. This is a profound passage of life that could benefit from a type of care not seen in the medical and insurance worlds.
Shamanic Healing Sessions
Shamanism is the most ancient form of healing practiced by humans, over 40,000 years old. It’s a way to connect you to your true self and learn about the evolution of your soul. As a shamanic healing practitioner, I act as an intermediary between you and your helping spirits
SoulCollage®
Individual Sessions or Workshops
SoulCollage uses the power of images, imagination, and intuition to create cards that offer us wisdom, help us find allies and discover new directions. It is a simple process that reveals deep insights. No artistic talent is needed. This can be done in an individual session
Grief Tending Rituals
Rituals are a way for us to heal within a community. A Grief Tending Ritual is a spacious practice of exploring and honoring all of our emotions, as raw as they are. We gather to witness and be witnessed, without then need to fix, give advice, be advised or changed.You are welcome as you are, seeped in grief, grace, numbness, anger, gratitude and so much more. Connecting with deep emotions often reveals hidden aspects of our self or emotions and can help bring us in deeper intimacy with life. I often find myself closer to my joy when I have tended to my sorrow. Grief Tending Rituals are run quarterly or can be done privately when requested.

The very definition of healing is “restoring to wholeness". We seek to restore what has been divided. The less we are divided and conflicted, the more whole and at peace we are.
This is the first, wildest, and wisest thing I know, that the soul exists, and that it is built entirely out of attentiveness.
