My Journey

 I have been told that I had intuitive tendencies while growing up, although I have little recollection of these experiences, it was clear that I knew and saw things that were not apparent to anyone else.  I have learned to trust these insights/feelings as my experiences continued to increase in both frequency and clarity. As my desire for greater understanding of the unseen world increased, so too did my intensity to work with this aspect of my life.

My Training  

I began a meditation practice, while immersing myself in workshops on reading the human energy field, exploring healing techniques using quartz crystals as well as attending many shamanic drumming circles. These were fun and inspiring, especially to be around those with similar experiences and abilities

Later, I began a series of intensive workshops designed to hone my intuitive abilities while learning more about the human energy field.  Although this training fulfilled my desire to understand my insights and what I was seeing, I still held a profound curiosity to explore the nature of shamanism. Thus I began my journey into learning the healing arts of the ancient Andean traditions in Peru.

I have attended the Four Winds Society (with Alberto Villoldo phd and Linda Fitch) where I was introduced to the Northern Andean traditions of a bundled mesa.  In addition, I have been fortunate to attending many workshops with Q’ero elder don Mariano Quispe Flores and his interpreters Dennis Alejo Mango and Oden Medina-Calsin, as well as Adolfo Titto Condori, and Rodolpho Tittio Condori.  

At this time, I am deeply honored to be an apprentice of don Oscar Miro-Quesada where I am learning what it means to be a curandera of the Pachakuti Mesa tradition.
