 Shamanic healing, holistic fertility, menopause and other hormonal balance and care, Mayan Abdominal therapy (trained in Arvigo method). 

As a lifelong practitioner of intuitive women’s wisdom and the science and art of midwifery and nursing, I believe your care must integrate the art and the science of healing.  Whether guiding you on your journey to conception, rebalancing your hormones, helping you through a major transformation like menopause, soul loss, soul retrieval, it is the ability to bring all six senses to the experience that generates a new experience of wholistic healing. This is what all healthcare should be.  Your personal plan may involve discussing nutrition, herbal or other therapies, reviewing previous experiences, labs, or imaging, and spiritual concerns or symptoms .  I may integrate sacred arts wisdom such as astrology, shamanic journeying or divination to clarify or tap into your own innate healing wisdom.

With over four decades of experience and a masters’ degree in midwifery and nursing, I combine my knowledge in folkways, scientific advances, herbalism, nutrition, shamanism, energetic practices, indigenous traditions, divination, astrology, and homeopathy to inform my healing practice. I see science as one of our tools rather than the framework. It can often provide some clues, maybe even some answers, but is an incomplete model. I prefer a more open and inquiring paradigm that allows for individuality.  (There is no one-size-fits-all)

That is the art of healing.

 We will craft these together as we explore and map your unique path forward.  (I will interpret lab tests, for example, to confirm a diagnosis. I can and sometimes do refer you to other wonderful healers in the community with much to offer, both mainstream and integrative.)

I see myself, holistically, as your midwife, drawing from many healing traditions – interpreting all the pieces of information: from your Spirit, from indigenous and other healing practices, and from the often confusing experiences and expectations presented to us when we encounter  modern medicine. 

I listen to you like a trusted friend, who connects you to your own empowering resources. Plan to spend 60-90 minutes at each session with me, so we can use our collective wisdom to orient you to your true North.
