Journeys into health. . .
Even as a child, I experienced a very deep connection with our non-
human brothers and sisters. Growing up, two of my closest friends
were the dogwood tree in the back yard, and a large black dog which
mysteriously showed up on our property every summer for several
years. Somewhat of a loner, I preferred the woods and creeks around
our house to the company of others, and would often, much to my
mother’s chagrin, set out on solo adventures.
While she never would have referred to herself in this manner, my
mother was something of a prairie dog. Every day she made the
rounds visiting the elderly women on our block, often with me in tow.
It was making these roundsthat put my feet squarely upon the healing
path, and gave me a fuller appreciation of the Divine Feminine.

I have been actively practicing Core Shamanism since 2006. I have received training in the Harner Method
of Shamanic Counseling (HMSC)©, Soul Restoration, Shamanic Extraction Healing, Power Animal Work,
Depossession and several other shamanic healing practices. Although I regularly lead journeying circles, and
healing and other sacred ceremonies in the Philadelphia, PA and Collingswood, NJ areas, I am a firm believer
in the philosophy "Have drum - will travel."

Please e-mal me if you have any questions . I look forward to hearing from you.
