About Me
Throughout my life, I have been drawn to different modalities of healing for my own healing journey, and I have a sincere wish to guide others deep within their Shamanic Healing Wisdom.
My journey into healing began when I started working with horses. I’ve always had a deep affinity with these beautiful beings. Working closely with them has enabled me to learn to BE with them in a state of stillness of mind and heart, showing me how to listen and heal.
Having horses in my life since I was a child has given me the opportunity to spend most of my life immersed in Nature.
I have a background as an equestrian instructor. This work then evolved, and I began to feel a strong calling to assist others with their healing journey and to help them become more connected.
I was drawn to an animal communication course, which inspired a profound change in the work I did with people and animals.
My desire to heal myself and nurture the deep and sincere connection I have with Mother Earth and all beings that live upon her led me to the Shamanic path.
My deep connection to our Mother Earth Goddess has led me to immerse myself in nature every day. I receive wisdom and ancient knowledge from the Spirits of the trees, rocks, plants, animals, soils, insects and water – all that is around us.
I believe we, as humans, are not separate from one another or from nature. WE are Nature. Separating ourselves from all that the Great Earth Goddess has to offer can take us into an imbalance of self. The heart longs to be connected to the love of Mother Earth.
Spending time in nature truly shows me how coming back to our hearts, and to the nature of ourselves, connects us to the deepest longing within the soul’s desire for healing.
Surrendering to nature and letting go of the misconceptions of control allows us to be in the nature of ourselves, so that we can be authentic and voice our true self with confidence.
While learning to make Our Sacred Woman’s instrument, the Frame Drum, I was taken deep into the Ancient Shamanic Woman’s Mysteries. This awakened my Womb and connected me to the lineage of the Sacred Priestess.
Drumming is part of my everyday life and has supported me in connecting more deeply to my inner Wild Feminine self. It encourages me to walk the path of the Shamanic Womb Wisdoms.
The Drum allows the roots of My Healing Ancestors to Reawaken and Remember.
I look forward to being with you on your Healing Journey.
Be Well in Love, Light, Gratitude and Peace to All.

Shamanic Healings
What is Shamanism?
Shamanism is the world’s oldest healing tradition and has been used for solving problems within communities. It is the oldest healing art in human history, dating back at least 40,000 years.
Shamanism sees all humans, animals, plants, rocks, elements, landscapes and celestial bodies as being interconnected and permeated with Spiritual Power. There is No Separation. Nature and Spirit hold the Ancient Healing forces of Love, Compassion and Power.
Shamanism is not a religion. It is a way of life – learning our Ancestral Roots of being connected to all of Nature and remembering our ability to truly Listen.
The Shamanic Healing sessions I offer are spaces where a Loving and Sacred space is created for you to enter your healing state and awaken the Truth of Your Soul.
This is a space of no judgement or preconceived conclusions. A space where you are held in your healing processes, showing you your path back to True Love for yourSelf and all of Life’s gifts.
The traumas and stories of the past that reside within our luminous energy field can send us into an unbalanced state of being, causing disconnection from self, nature and spirit.
Allowing yourself to seek the healing within can allow the past to BE, so we no longer choose to keep living in the past and can look forward to who We Truly Are.
I believe that we can step back into a place of Ayni (Sacred Reciprocity) with the Womb of ourselves, the Womb of Mother Earth and the Womb of the Great Cosmos.
This then extends out to our families, friends, plants, animals and the elements when we connect with the Great Spirit and become totally present in our Heart.
My Heart and Soul’s truth is to support you to live your Soul’s Wholeness of Love and come to stillness of Mind as you walk in the presence of your beautiful body on Our Earth Mother NOW, in this lifetime.
As you heal, you will see that you are not broken. You will see that you are Whole in your True Loving Natural Wildness.
What happens in a Healing Session?
Each healing session is completely unique and individual, entirely dependent on what the person has come for.
So, in saying this, I never really know what will happen.
We will start with a smudging process, using smoke from herbs, the drum and rattle, to clear your energetic field.
Then we will sit and talk about what has brought you to your healing session.
Doing this opens the door to what is lying beneath, allowing the imprint to become present in the luminous field.
From here, we will use Shamanic practices to help you journey deeper and find the place of healing.
This can go in a number of directions, depending on what comes up in the moment.
This can include one or a combination of the following:
- Light Body Activation
- Shamanic Journeying
- Soul Retrieval
- Past Life Regression
- Medicine Wheel Journeys
- Teachings
- Reclaiming your Womb Wisdom
- Meeting your Spirit Animal
- Fire Ceremony
- Walking in nature on the Land
- Drumming
- Toning
- Recognising and dissolving un-beneficial energies
- Cutting of energetic ties
The Frame Drum and Sacred Healing tones and frequencies from the voice are used within the session.
Being at service as a Shamanic Practitioner does not mean that I am the one doing the “healing”. It is more that I am working together with my Teams to create a loving, safe and sacred space for the Spirit of the Ancient Healers of True Love and Compassion and the Light Beings of Refined Loving Healing Energy to work through me.
I become the Hollow Bone, supporting you to heal within.
It is from your Willingness and Desire for healing that the door opens for you to step into your Healing self.
There are proactive forces within the Spirit world in the healing sessions. They are the invisible lineage of Shamans, Healers and Light Beings who are at work outside of time.
This is where both the healer and the one seeking healing go within an altered state to enable this linkage to do their work, helping you to remove heavy, stuck energy and bathe yourself in the flowing energy of Divine Loving Light.
This is a journey that you must do for yourself, knowing that you are being supported.
You may benefit from a healing if you are:
- Feeling emotionally fraught or exhausted
- Stuck in cycles and stories that do not serve your wellbeing
- Feeling a deep knowing that connects you to your inner Wild Woman
- Feeling the need to release old patterns
- Feeling the need to control
- Feeling lost or in pain
I acknowledge that I am in Loving Service to this work, knowing that I am both a student and a teacher, and will forever see with new eyes.
I am truly grateful for all that is in this ever-evolving knowledge and wisdom.
Allow yourself to embrace your Power and step into your Healing self.

Holistic Massage
There are times when our bodies call for connection through compassionate, caring and grounding touch.
Massage has been something we have given each other for thousands of years — for aching bodies, times of stress or trauma, for healing, or as a gift to our Beautiful Bodies to say, “Thank you for all the wonderful things you do.”
Stuck, old energy and emotions can be held in the body, and this can bring an imbalance to the Mind, Body and Spirit.
The massage I give is caring and compassionate, created within a trauma-informed space.
I listen with my heart and my hands and allow the body to guide me.
My intention is to bring flow to the massage, allowing energy to soften and move.
At times, I will use flower essences in the oil to support the Mind, Emotions, Body and Spirit.
Exchange for a 1-hour massage: $90
Exchange for a 1.5-hour massage with smudging and Shamanic Sound: $120
