Offerings

I offer a short consultation over the phone. It is usually a 20 minute conversation to discuss what your general needs are and to inquire with the helping spirits if I am the practitioner to help you. If I am not the right practitioner for you, I will journey to ask who is better suited to your needs. If I know them, I will refer you.

Initial shamanic session

5-30 minute check-in followed by an hour to an hour and a half on my table.

A Shamanic session with me typically lasts between 1.5-2 hours and can address many issues including the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. First, I call in our combined spirit allies. Second, I check-in with them in order to discern the best treatment. My work usually consists of hands-on body work, rattles, drums, singing and the use of herbs, plants and oils.

There are many possible treatments including guided journeys, energy work, power animal retrieval, soul retrieval, extraction and depossession.

Follow up shamanic session
60 – 90 minutes, $135/per session

I offer follow up shamanic sessions after an initial session. These are ideal for going deeper in a specific area, choosing another area to work on and healing physical ailments.

*All shamanic sessions can be done in person or over the phone/zoom.

Classes and Trainings

Introduction to Shamanic Journeying

Join me for a two-day, 14-hour immersive workshop where we will connect with our helping Spirits and gain new Spirit allies in order to create a safe and supportive journeying practice.

Using the rhythm of drums and rattles, we will enter a theta brain wave state in order to create deeper access to our intuition and spiritual guidance. This workshop fosters a sense of community and shared experience as we explore the unseen realms together.

Sessions run from 10 AM to 5 PM each day. Snacks, tea, and water are provided. Wear comfortable clothing and consider bringing your favorite blanket or eye mask. A journal and pen are recommended for recording your experiences. The cost is $222 per person. All graduates of this class are welcome to join any future classes free of charge.

Walking the Shamanic Path:

A three year journey of sovereignty, healing and service

A beautiful fern-lined path in the redwood forest

Walking the Shamanic Path is a three-year journey of personal transformation, spiritual exploration, and embodied practice. Through direct revelation, journeying, ritual, ceremony, and community, you’ll develop your own relationship with Spirit rather than follow someone else’s way.

Each year stands on its own. You don’t need to know where the path will lead or intend to become a practitioner. This journey may deepen your spiritual practice, support profound healing, or lead you toward serving others.

THE JOURNEY

YEAR ONE — SOVEREIGNTY
Develop your relationship with Spirit through shamanic divination journeying, helping spirits, nature connection, sacred reciprocity, ritual, and energy work.

YEAR TWO — HEALING
Turn inward through ancestral work, soul remembering, soul retrieval, and transmutation. This year focuses on your own healing and integration.

YEAR THREE — SERVICE
For those called to serve others, explore practitioner skills, ethics, client work, and ways to bring your unique medicine into the world.

Throughout the training, you’ll explore extraction and compassionate depossession, psychopomp work, personal power tools, sacred objects, and your own spiritual cosmology. The work combines in-person retreats, monthly gatherings, weekly practices, journeying, pod work, and personal integration.

This is a different kind of training, rooted in direct experience, personal discovery, and the understanding that your path is yours to walk.

Rattle Making Ceremony

This is a 2 day rattle-making ceremony where we will connect with like-minded community. We will begin each day by creating an altar in order to connect with our Helping Spirits and allies. After creating alignment between ourselves and our helping spirits, we will hand craft a rattle using a variety of sustainably harvested rawhide, leather, sticks and stones.

We will learn how to connect with intention, both to the supplies and energies we are calling in. This allows for a deeper bond with your sacred item and creates space for more guidance and communication from Spirit.

All materials will be provided including rawhide, handles, beads, filler, etc. Please feel free to bring your own sacred items to incorporate into your rattle. This will help to make it deeply personal and powerful for your spiritual practice. You may also bring extras for your community.

This is a 10 hour workshop including two 5 hour days. Both days start at 10 am and end by 3 pm. Snacks, tea and water are provided and you are welcome to bring lunch on both days. The investment is $222 per person.

Each custom stained glass piece begins with an intention and a journey. During a personal session, we explore what is calling to emerge in your life. Together, we may journey to connect with the Helping Spirits, or I may journey on your behalf to discover an image that holds meaning for you. Sometimes, a vision emerges directly from the journey; other times, we collaborate to bring an image into focus. From there, I transform that vision into a one-of-a-kind stained glass creation, crafted specifically for you and your path.

If you feel called to bring a vision to life, contact me to learn more about creating your own custom piece.

Ritual is a powerful way to communicate with the universe, mark significant moments, and cultivate a deeper sense of purpose and connection. Throughout history, cultures have used ritual to celebrate beginnings, honor transitions, and release what no longer serves. However, many of these practices have faded from modern life, leaving us disconnected from the sacred and from ourselves.

Through intentional ritual, we create space to express our intentions, invite support, and align with the natural rhythms of life. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, grieving a loss, or stepping into a new chapter, ritual can offer a meaningful path toward healing, growth, and transformation.

As a ritualist, I work with you to create a sacred experience that reflects your unique needs and intentions. Together, we craft a ceremony that honors where you are, supports where you’re going, and invites connection with the unseen forces that walk alongside you.

Every ritual is unique, and the investment depends on the scope and depth of the ceremony. What would you like to bring into being?

Shamanic session and Ritual at the Oak

A power animal is a spirit ally who walks alongside you throughout your life, offering power, protection, wisdom, and guidance. In this relationship, the animal offers itself in service to your spiritual growth, just as you offer yourself in service to theirs. Once you connect with a power animal, it is your responsibility to nurture that relationship. Over time, this connection can become a lifelong source of insight, strength, protection, and deeper self-understanding.

Soul loss is a common experience in human life, yet it can go unrecognized for years, or even lifetimes, because it is rarely discussed in mainstream culture. It can occur for many reasons, including trauma, illness, and periods of intense stress. From a shamanic perspective, a portion of your soul’s essence may separate from the whole in response to these experiences, allowing that part of you to remain protected from the full impact of the trauma.

Through soul retrieval, this untraumatized essence is welcomed back, helping you feel more fully embodied, whole, and connected to your true Self.

While much shamanic bodywork focuses on releasing what is not yours or what no longer serves you, such as through extraction or depossession, soul retrieval works in the opposite direction. Rather than removing, it focuses on restoring what is innately yours, helping you reclaim lost parts of yourself and reconnect with your essential wholeness.

Extraction is the process of removing foreign energy from your physical and/or energetic bodies. This energy can come from many different sources and manifest in a variety of ways. For example, you may experience physical pain, fatigue, or a sense of being drained. You might also notice strong emotions that don’t feel like your own or a persistent heaviness or depression that you can’t quite explain.

Once an extraction is complete, soul retrieval is typically the next step. This is because it’s important to fill any spaces left behind with your own essence, restoring a sense of wholeness and balance. Otherwise, those spaces may remain vulnerable to being occupied by foreign energy again.

Compassionate depossession isn’t nearly as scary as it sounds. The term possession often brings to mind horror movies like The Exorcist, but in shamanic practice, the experience can be much more subtle. Unlike extraction, which involves removing foreign energy, depossession addresses a more concentrated energy or “entity.” Sometimes, this may even be a helpful ancestor who has become unhelpful over time. In my experience, these relationships often begin with protection or guidance but gradually become dependent or codependent.

Symptoms can vary widely. For example, you might feel that you’re not alone, experience emotions that don’t feel like your own, or feel drawn to behaviors that are out of character. You might also experience unusual dreams, unfamiliar memories, or gaps in your recollection of recent activities.

A compassionate depossession is an interactive process, usually facilitated through guided journeying. Together, we connect with the entity and explore its purpose: What is it here to teach you? Why has it remained? What does it need to leave your space peacefully?

Because these relationships may have existed for lifetimes, the process can sometimes be emotional. Ultimately, my intention is to help both parties move toward a healthier relationship grounded in mutual respect and sovereignty. Therefore, I only facilitate a compassionate depossession when both parties are ready to make that transition.
