Because everything is interconnected in our beautiful universe, waves of energy from the whole of creation, the whole of the cosmos, flow into and out of us constantly, mingling and responding to the energies surrounding and filling our bodies. Our cells remember. In the mysterious ways of the cosmos, our remembering lets us entrain with healing sound, healing light, and healing vibration.

All the subtle realms that surround and interact with our physical bodies--what we call auras, subtle energy body, light body, as well as chakras and acupuncture meridians--make up the body of "energy" (chi) in us and around us. This body of energy is responsive to changes in vibration (sound and light) and intention.

Energy Blockages

Imagine the energies you carry getting tangled with the emotions, reactions, difficulties and challenges of your day. They become like small snarls in your hair, or a net caught on the rocks. Without attention, the tangles grow and get worse, blocking the smooth flow of energy that keeps us healthy on all levels. Over the years, the blockages can turn to disease. In the worst cases, our DNA coils and becomes unable to repair our cells.

With attention and intention, an energy healer opens the blockages, smoothes the tangles, and helps bring in the healing light of the universe, allowing your natural energy to resume, both protecting and invigorating you.

The Morphic Field of Healing

We get help with our healing because we live in this interconnected, multi-dimensional universe of living energy where we (trees, water, stones, humans, butterflies, mountains) are all part of each other. Energy healing affects physical healing by taking you gently into your essential self, where your cells listen and respond. As the energy body is healed, the physical cells in our bodies are able to shift and change as well.

In the morphic field of healing, intention plays an essential role. My intent is to connect with the power of the universe, and to combine my wisdom, love, and intuition with the energy of my helping spirits. Your intent, trust, and openness to the process are crucial components of your healing. Ask yourself: What is my intent? What do I want to change in my life? Am I willing to follow the advice and instructions offered to me?

What Happens In a Shamanic or Energy Healing Consultation?

In a private healing session or consultation, we work in sacred space and in a safe environment. We talk first about your intent and the feelings that have brought you. I help you formulate specific questions. Then I seek advice and assistance from spirit for you, and perform whatever healing is recommended. One session might include any of the following:

* Remove something that does not belong in you (heavy energy, intrusions, toxic thoughts, entities).

* Bring back and fill you with something that's yours (power animals, soul parts, light, vibrations).

* Work with spirits of place or ancestral spirits whose pain is affecting you.

* Perform energy cleansing, smoothing, and filling of your physical and etheric bodies (the Andean practice of "ponq'o" or light body healing).

* Ask for prescriptions for shifting a behavior or point of view.

* Create a ceremony together for a specific intention or transition.

At end of each session, we will discuss practices & techniques for you to take home to strengthen and aid the shifts you are trying to make. You may receive some "homework" to help you anchor and integrate the changes made in your energy field. You may also learn tools for continuing your healing process and consciously shifting your energy.

Shamanic and energy healing can create profound, lasting improvements in your life. They can restore your energy, vitality, and comfort; return you to balance; bring clarity and wholeness; and connect you with your essential self.

Sessions last 1-2 hours. Each session is specific to, and right for, what you need at that time.

"Psychological work focuses more on what has gone wrong: how we have been wounded in our relations with others and how to go about addressing that. Spiritual work focuses more on what is intrinsically right: how we have infinite resources at the core of our nature that we can cultivate in order to live more expansively. If psychological work thins the clouds, spiritual work invokes the sun." --John Welwood, Perfect Love, Imperfect Relationships

My Practice

My focus is on helping you sidestep old stories and work with underlying energy patterns so you can return to balance and reconnect with your own wholeness. I draw on all my skills and extensive training in Andean energetic healing, shamanism, Munay-Ki, sound healing, Reiki, meditation, parenting, ceremony, and healing with spiritual light in my work with you. My intent is to be midwife to your expanded awareness, your essence, your whole soul, and your luminous energy body, helping you move into vibrational alignment with your highest self.

Payment is due at the time service is rendered, on a sliding scale of $75-125/hour. I accept cash and personal checks. If you need to reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours notice. Please note that I prefer to work in person, as it is deeper and more rewarding for both of us.

Healing Light

Healing light is used by cultures both ancient and modern to shift cellular structure, create connections, and reweave the web of life. For descendants of the Inca, the Q'ero people in the high Andes of Peru, the earth, stars, and cosmos are sources of energy, power, and healing. Similarly, modern forms of spiritual/energetic healing, such as Reiki, Medicine for the Earth, and Andean light body healing, use light for bringing balance to people, issues, communities, and places on the earth.

Healing Vibration

Every vibration resonates in our physical and energy bodies; in the air; and in material things, in ever widening circles like stones in water. Vibration comes from sound as well as other forms of energy, such as movement and light: think of the vibration of hummingbird wings, the vibration of thunder and rain, the vibration of our cranial-sacral fluid.

Ancient cultures understood and integrated vibration into daily life. In Sanskrit, one of the earliest Asian languages and an ancestor of Indo-European tongues, every sound was understood to send a particular energy into the universe, so sounds, words, and chants were used with precision and intention to interact with the whole harmonic creation. Vedic practitioners and Tibetan Buddhists have complex theories and understandings of the effects of various vibrations on body and spirit. In Mayan languages in Central America, the beauty of the words people use is central to maintaining the fabric of community and the daily work of weaving the world together.

In our western cultures, we tend to be barraged by sound, much of it jarring and discordant. Yet our bodies remember gentler sounds, and can respond deeply to the harmonious vibration of chanting, singing, Tibetan bowls, percussion, and other instruments used in sound healing, as well as "sound healing technologies."

Combining Light and Vibration to Shift Energy

The more we open our beings to the parallel realities that exist alongside the consensual reality that we "see," the more we tune into and can transmit healing energy, light, and sound. This is a non-rational, non-verbal, other-levels-of-awareness process, akin to that of shamans who see with their hearts. It's an interweaving: as our cells learn different energies, they become what Martin Prechtel describes as "made of stars and time that come from sound."

When our cells begin to feel, and our awareness catches up, we can then consciously play with vibration, and intuitively use vibration and light to shift and heal.

The harmony and balance created during any healing--of a person's energy body and of the world's energy body--reverberates into the whole universe.
