After years of struggle and yearning for deep change, I answered the call of my soul when I began my journey through the Quechuan 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, healed and returned 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 helped 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 healer and Paq'o Pampamesaoq with Rosemary Beam, an initiate of the lineage of Don Manuel Quispe, a revered Altamesayok of the Q’ero. And I've had the wonderful opportunity to virtually receive wisdom teachings and initiations with Maestro Luis Quispe, a revered Pampamesayoq of the Hatun Q'ero, who partners with Rosemary to share his lineage of wisdom teachings and ceremonies with the western world.

The Quechuan tradition 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 continues to deepen and open new ways of how I perceive and be in the world. 

I'm also certified as a Reiki Master in the lineages of Usui Reiki and Holy Fire® Reiki, 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 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.
