Do family members feel ancestral healing?
After an ancestral healing session, I’m often asked if other family members will notice the results. We begin with an issue that directly affects the client. The legacy of emotional pain, heavy energy, or dysfunctional pattern they’re experiencing becomes the entry point for clearing intergenerational trauma. Guided by the helping spirits, we work in sacred space on the family energy field holding an intention that the healing ripple out to the ancestors, the current generations, and the generations yet to come. As we heal, those around us...
Octahedron of white light
One of the things that drew me to my home in Baraboo was the mature trees. I fell in love with the towering grandmother silver maple in the backyard and the majestic basswood off the front porch. They hug the house. Up on the half story where my office is, I look out the windows and feel like I’m in a tree house. When I first moved in fifteen years ago, I would lie awake during big thunderstorms in the middle of the night and cower in fear of a tree falling on my home. Then I learned about the “holon of balance” from Tom Kenyon’s work. He...
Multiple healing modalities
A client recently posed a great question. He asked whether it was better to stick with one healing modality or to try many different healing options to support him as he worked through an issue. I am a shamanic healer who specializes in working with heavy energy - whether it’s spirit attachment, ancestral patterns, childhood trauma, or the discomfort of being sensitive to energy. My approach may not be the only one, or even necessarily the best one, for any given situation. Clients often benefit by working with additional practitioners at...

We belong to each other
I’ve been thinking of my dad a lot recently. His birthday is coming up on April 29. It’s a little over two years since he died. The sharp pain of grief has faded with time, and what’s left is a tender ache - along with the love and good memories. I reflect again on all the kindnesses that were shown at the time of his death. Many people reached out in thoughtful ways... A friend who tuned in and witnessed his crossing and shared a message with us. The friends who sat with me and witnessed my grief. The friends who participated in a very...
Our opportunity to heal our nation’s shadow
From a shamanic perspective, it has become clear what the next four years and beyond will be about. Working through our collective shadow as a nation. Trump has brought our nation’s bigotry, greed and hatred further out into the light. Issues don’t get healed in the dark. They have to be brought out into the light for all to see. Here’s our opportunity to work with what is being illuminated. Now is the time to do our work as individuals and as a country and look at why we accept racism, sexism, and corporate greed at the expense of the poor,...
