Greetings, and thank you for your curiosity about my journey. I am a Shamanic Practitioner and Energy Healer, but my path wasn't always rooted in alternative therapy—I initially navigated the corporate world. Today, I'm not just a practitioner but a mother to two incredible young adults navigating university life.
The Foundation: Born in East Africa, my family spent several years in South Africa, before moving to my parents' home country of New Zealand. My adolescence unfolded between New Zealand and Australia. At 21, I embarked on a decade-long journey across the UK, Europe, and Canada. I eventually settled in Australia to start my own family.
A Defining Moment: The birth of my second child became a turning point in my life. Seeking solace, I embraced yoga and meditation, discovering a profound peace previously absent from my life. This ignited a transformative journey into alternative therapies, spurred by a pivotal moment during my partner's chronic illness—a journey that nearly cost me my own life. This NDE reshaped my perspectives, prompting deep introspection into my life.
My Path to Healing: Meditation became my sanctuary, leading me to become a qualified Meditation Teacher and later pursue Holistic Life Coaching. Venturing into energy healing, I obtained certifications in Usui Reiki (Master), Crystal Reiki (Master), and Chikara-Reiki-Do (Master). Further studies in Chakra Healing and Energy Body Healing broadened my understanding of the mind-body connection.
Embracing a Shamanic Path: More than ten years ago, I felt a natural pull towards shamanic practices, heeding a call to service from Spirit. This path has deepened as time has passed, guiding me to engage more purposefully in the Shaman's Way. In my capacity as a shamanic practitioner, I have cultivated a profound bond with nature, the planet, and the cosmos.
The Shamanic Practitioner: My journey is a continual exploration, and my dedication to self-discovery stays steadfast. As a shamanic practitioner, I am in constant evolution, consistently learning and adapting to enhance my ability to assist those on their own journeys. I feel a profound connection to working with the land, healing areas harmed by human activity and preserving regions threatened by deforestation. I have a deep affinity for the Taiga forest of Northern Europe and am dedicated to its conservation.
If you've accompanied me on this path, I express my gratitude. I am here to offer support and guidance as you navigate your distinctive journey into the future.
I gratefully acknowledge the wisdom and patience of my teachers and mentors who have generously taken the time and energy to train me into the modern modalities and ancient lineages of the medicine men and women of the past and the future. Without them, I would be unable to be of service to you and Mother Earth.
