About
About
As a shamanic practitioner and teacher, I offer workshops in shamanic journeying and advanced healing techniques throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. I practice shamanic healing in my Northern California studio. Through meditation, shamanic journeying, and healing techniques, I am honored to have helped hundreds of people achieve positive change in their lives and higher understanding of their rightful place in the universe.
Spiritual practice has been a way of life for me for more than 40 years. Connecting with universe, expanding consciousness, and practicing kindness are at the heart of my journey.
The art and practice of shamanism came to me decades ago. I am blessed to have intensely studied and participated in shamanic practices with excellent teachers and healers, including the award-winning shaman and author Sandra Ingerman, the world-renowned authority on shamanism Michael Harner and Celtic Shamanism teacher Tom Cowan. I’ve traveled the world, practicing and learning from shamans in Tibetan, Nepal, South America, and those closer to home. I am grateful to my wise teachers and my loving and lovely helping spirits.

Grounded in Spirituality
My experiential learning includes more than 30 years (1969 to 2001) living in Ramagiri Ashram, the residential headquarters of the Blue Mountain Center of Meditation, founded by Eknath Easwaran. Ashram life involved intense meditation practice balanced by the practicalities of living and working with 50 people, the ashram family.
