Introductions

The Hatun Q'ero are a living lineage of an ancient shamanic culture, descendants of the Inka who live in the remote, high elevations of the Andes mountains (Apus) of Peru. They are considered great healers, wisdom keepers and masters of living energy, and their way of life is deeply rooted in Ayni - sacred reciprocity and harmony with ourselves, Nature and the Cosmos.

Their teachings and practices are sacredly and openly offered to us, to help us interact with Nature and the Cosmos in a dance of respect and mutual support and as catalysts to help us move through this time of Pachakuti - a flipping of time and space and our interconnectedness with it all - to create a new golden age of peace, the age of Taripay Pacha, where we meet ourselves again and discover new ways of being that are in beauty, balance and harmony with the Earth. 

This path of beauty rewilds the soul and brings so many allies and offers so much support and insight and I am so excited to share it with You!

After years of struggle and yearning for deep change, I answered the call of my soul when I began my journey through the Medicine Wheel, diving into the recesses of my soul, and into the wild and untamed thicket of my woundings and traumas.
 
Guided by the loving medicine, wisdom teachings and initiations of the Quechuan lineage, I stepped onto an illuminated path of beauty that taught me how to access and nourish my own inner wisdom and how to live in harmony and balance, cultivating a direct, loving and respectful relationship with my inner world, Nature and the Divine. My heart cracked wide open and a wild aliveness was unleashed within me. Everything in my life began to shift in ways I could have never imagined. 
 
I went on to train as a Shamanic Healer and Paq'o Pampamesaoq - a Shaman of the Earth, an Earthkeeper in the Quechuan tradition. This medicine work has become a way of life, a way of BE-ing, beautifully and intricately woven into every breath I take, in everything I see and experience and it continues to deepen and open new ways of how I perceive and be in the world.

I am also certified as a Reiki Master, teach Reiki classes, and I hold Bachelor of Science in Social Sciences.


I reside in the Pacific Northwest on the Oregon Coast inhabiting the land of short mild summers, eternal rainy winters, exceptional magnificent autumns and delightful enchanting springs. Surrounding me are wild forests and trails, lakes filled with snow melt and the beach isn't all that far. In my living room there's usually nothing on but the radio and fresh bundles of wildflowers, stones, painted rocks, shells and Earth altars lovingly strewn about. I love to seek out the wonderful in every day, and my family and dogs keep me grounded, always have me laughing and help me stay connected to my heart.

Salka Kawsay

The essence of Wildly Alive is beautifully captured by two Quechua words: Salka and Kawsay.

 

Salka (or Sallqa) is wild, raw undomesticated living energy. Everything in nature has Salka. The experience of Salka is joyful, uncultivated, wild and spirited. When we connect to our own Salka, we enjoy and savor our experience of life.

 

Kawsay (or Kausay) is the vital, living energy that animates the cosmos. Kawsay is alive and dynamic. We are in continual exchange with Kawsay, and when we are conscious of it, we can move, shift and transform this energy.

 

Discovering your wild aliveness or your salka kawsay, the strength, energy and vitaliy you are composed of, is one of the many sacred gifts of the Quechuan tradition!
