My healing journey began in 1996 after a rather spontaneous spiritual awakening which completely turned my life upside down and initiated my conscious spiritual path. My journey lead me throughout the world studying spirituality through different cultures; from living in India for 6 months with an Indian guru when I was 21 to being fully immersed for several years in non-dual wisdom teachings; living two years in John of God's healing center in central Brazil to being 'adopted' by a family of paqos (mystics and masters of living energies) in a Peruvian indigenous tribe called the Q'ero. For the past seven years, I have taken a yearly pilgrimage to Peru.I also bring groups to Peru, to participate in life-changing initiations and ceremonies with highly respected Q'ero paqos and other Andean mystics at sacred sites throughout Peru and Bolivia. These pilgrimages are designed to help us reconnect with our indigenous soul--the living unity of comm-unity.
For almost two decades, I have been graced to receive much deep support in form of training and guidance from many incredible mentors, all over the world. I have also been incredibly blessed to extend healing support to thousands of people. I have received over 3000 hours of training in a wide rage of healing and psycho-spiritual modalities and practices. I am a licensed massage therapist and have received certification in healing modalities including including cranial-sacral, body-centered therapy, somatic psycho-spiritual integration, expressive arts therapy, gestalt therapy, shadow work, hypnosis, NLP, massage, energy healing and many other trauma informed healing interventions. I am a Certified Trauma Practitioner (CTP) with the National Institute for trauma and loss in children. These programs focus on the psycho-physiology of trauma and structured sensory interventions and expressive arts therapy for children, adolescents and adults.
My own deep healing journey through loss and trauma has evoked enormous compassion in working with others. It has also birthed unique skills and a deeply intuitive understanding of how to be in an intimate relationship with the disowned, wounded and grieving parts of our soul. Our wounds and neglected parts of ourselves offer deep gifts and an exquisite perfection which can help restore the magic and mystery of our soul to life.
It is my deepest honor to come together in a safe healing space with others and the sacred alchemy that happens in this exchange. I hold each session, meeting and gathering in deep respect knowing that the true healer and the deepest source of guidance, inspiration, resources and support is alive within you.
I have a deep passion for service work. I love taking long walks in nature with no structured time but where I can walk slowly, taking time to commune with the trees, the water and take in the sounds of nature. I am grateful to many friends, family and loved ones that I have in my life. I love attending ceremonies and celebration of the earth, writing, dancing, traveling to Peru to spend time with family and friends there, my morning cup of tea and sacred heart practices. I am a blogger for the Huffington Post. You can read my blogs here. You can also see my published work on other blogging forms like One Magazine, Positively Positive and Elephant Journal. I am currently completing my first non-fiction autobiographical book.
