Shamanic Healing
Private practice offering remote and in-person sessions on Bainbridge Island, WA
Receive healing support and tend to your soul as you navigate creating your family.
When the path to our children becomes long, it’s painful. I know. I’ve been there.
And I’m passionate about helping you on yours.
As a trained shamanic practitioner, I combine 20 years of spiritual and embodiment studies with a decade of life experience forming my family. From stillbirth, to miscarriage, to failed IVF after years of what felt like going through every fertility treatment out there, to a month long NICU stay with my youngest, I’m no stranger to the toll creating your family can take on your body, soul, spirit and mind. Some days it’s hard to even show up. Sometimes the ride is just too much.
I’m here to soften the ride - to strengthen your soul, connect you to your power, and give you tools so you can walk this path with greater ease, spirit companionship, and increased confidence.
And it’s an honor for me to do so.

What is shamanism & why have a session?
Shamanism has been used to heal individual and collective health for over 30,000 years. It’s the oldest healing technology there is, passed down from teacher to student for hundreds of generations, born within almost every culture - across continents. When the soul is tended, the nervous system calms. It’s an ancient healing practice with benefits backed by modern somatic science.
Where traditional therapies or medicine tend to the health of the mind or the body, shamanism tends to the health of the soul and spirit. Add shamanic sessions into your family creation journey, and you are giving yourself true holistic care.
What happens in a shamanic session?
As the work is energetic by nature, sessions can take place via zoom or in person. After an initial greeting and hearing an overview of what’s going on for you, sacred space is opened. Here, held within a sacred container, we dive deeper and move into the shamanic work. This is performed with the use of a shamanic drum or rattle and typically includes a soul retrieval, though it can also include a power animal retrieval, energy clearing, and other practices depending on what’s needed. After receiving the healing, gratitude for the container is given, and sacred space is closed. Before the session ends, I teach you how to integrate the healing, as well as shamanic-based daily at-home tools to support you.
“After that evening, I can say, I never felt fragmented again, around this grief... and I feel so grateful for that!”

Circle & Ceremony
In addition to private one-on-one sessions, I also offer the occasional women’s circle.
Ceremony and ritual give tangible presence to invisible emotions and experiences. They speak a language the grieving mind can absorb and help provide a type of embodiment, which in turn calms the nervous system and connects you back to your body, heart, soul, truth and strength.
Current Circle offering is an 8-month perimenopause and menopause support group traveling through the year together. This program starts September 20th, 2024, and is called PAUSE.
