About Me
I am honored to offer my work in Women's Circles, Retreats, Workshops, Spiritual Counseling, Shamanic Practices, Medicine Wheel and Ceremony.
I founded Featherheart Holistic Paths to provide counseling and guidance for personal and spiritual growth.
Since 2006, I have offered events, workshops and private sessions to hundreds of women to support their empowerment and the connection to body, mind, heart and spirit. As a long time student and apprentice of cross-cultural traditions and nature based spirituality, my offerings include many healing traditions. Bridging traditional psychology and intuitive tools with Native American spirituality and healing practices, I can support you on your journey through transformational work with sacredness and compassion.
With an open heart and mind, I honor and respect each person’s beliefs and their individual life path.
"Some people who engage in spiritual practices believe they will be protected from the challenges of life. But life brings us situations to help us grow and evolve. Spiritual practices give us the tools to deal with what life brings for us.
