I am the steward of the vision of Temple Abzu. I am a ceremonialist and facilitator of healing and transformation. I assist others by creating sacred space for awakening through ritual, ceremony, and embodiment, with the purpose of evoking deep remembrance and connection to Divine Essence and personal power. My work is inspired by my passion for and dedication to reconnecting to the Earthways of my ancestors and recreating balance and harmony through right relationship with the Feminine. I have been initiated as a Pampamessayoc in the Q’ero lineage and continue to be a humble student of ancient wisdom, earth-based traditions around the world, and mythology. I am also a graduate of the Four Winds Shamanic School and a certified Shamanic Practitioner, Level 2 Reiki Master, Certified Integration Coach, and Horse Coaching practitioner. As a perpetual student, I am committed to further learning and exploration, continually deepening my understanding of Shamanic practices, trauma-informed facilitation, somatic facilitation, the left-hand path of the Divine Feminine, and spiritual teachings. Above all, I am an apprentice to my own soul and to the mystery, devoted to my own learning and expansion through direct transmission and direct relationship with Spirit. The soul of my work is informed by my own healing and journey of remembrance. Born a seeker of truth and freedom, I grew up in a heavily religious environment but rejected any ideology that tried to put truth in a box or on the pages of a book. From a young age, I forged my own path, thinking for myself, dreaming big, and unsatisfied with the life that was presented to me as my options. In my search for truth, I earned a degree in Middle East studies with the intent to become a war correspondent. I moved to the region, where I lived for nine years, traveling extensively to sacred places around the world, activating many codes within myself along the way. My travels reinforced my belief that we have something to learn from every person and experience that crosses our path. In seeking truth, I learned that there is no absolute truth, only a path that brings us closer to our own truth. Along the way, I was pulled in many directions, not realizing that the truth had always been within me. I also struggled deeply with mental health, which I now recognize as stemming from a disconnection from my authenticity and truth, as well as from generational and personal trauma. The healing of these aspects required years of devotion to sitting with the Medicines as a participant. I can honestly say that the medicine, alongside my soulmate horse, Gunner, saved my life. While my journey will never be over and continues, I have walked the red road, the spiral around and around the medicine wheel. I have faced my own shadow with love in my heart, I have walked to the depths of myself, and in that fertile darkness, I have remembered my own wholeness. I believe that I can only walk beside others to the depths that I have gone into myself. Today, I stand in deep gratitude, knowing that I am fulfilling my soul’s work. My approach bridges nature, embodiment practices, shadow work, spiritual devotion, ritual, energy work, and the sacred force of love to create a space for others to reconnect with their innate wisdom. As a trauma-informed facilitator, I honor indigenous wisdom while also integrating the distinct challenges and textures of Western trauma and society. I combine my Shamanic training, energy work, and ritual practices with somatic and embodiment techniques, as well as several trauma-informed modalities, to offer a deeply tailored experience. I see myself as a weaver, of my own self, and of the many aspects of this journey, the sources from which we draw, and the paths that we may walk. As a guide, I see my role as a mirror to help others recognize their unique purpose, authentic selves, and path to self-love. My goal is to guide you toward discovering the Divine light within yourself. The answers are already within you—I am here to hold space, gently supporting your journey with love and care, helping you remember the truth and power of who you truly are. I believe each of us is our own healer, and it is my honor to assist you in realizing that for yourself.
