 Añay, Añaychayki
Thank You

Thank you to all my teachers along the way, seen and unseen, who have shown up exactly when I needed them and for all the teachers to come - for learning and exploring ourselves is a lifelong journey, and we never ever walk it alone. 

 

​With deep gratitude, I acknowledge the cosmic river of medicine men and women of the Q'ero lineage, and I honor their invitation to share this medicine with the world as this is a time of great transformation and new beginnings!

 

From my heart to your heart, I honor and acknowledge all our Ancestors, those who have walked before us and will walk after us and You as an Ancestor of the future.

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 powerful 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, so together we 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 and the Cosmos. ​

After years of struggle and yearning for deep change, I answered the call of my soul when I began my journey through a Quechuan focused Medicine Wheel, diving into the recesses of my soul and into the wild and untamed thicket of my woundings and traumas. It was in these shadows, I discovered, returned and celebrated parts of me long forgotten or discarded.
 
Guided by the loving medicine, wisdom teachings and initiations of the Quechuan lineage, I stepped onto an illuminated path of beauty that has continued to help me integrate wholeness, access and nourish my own wisdom, live in harmony and balance, and cultivate a direct, loving and reciprocal 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 with Rosemary Beam of Rising Fire, an initiate of the lineage of Don Manuel Quispe, Altamesayok of the Q’ero. And I've had the wonderful opportunity to receive wisdom teachings and ceremony with Maestro Luis Quispe, a Pampamesayoq of the Hatun Q'ero.

This medicine 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, in the way I am held and supported and continues to deepen and open new ways of how I perceive and be in the world, as our journey in life is always ongoing.

I have also trained as Reiki Master in the lineages of Usui Reiki and Holy Fire® Reiki, and I hold a 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 the land. 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.
