I am a Medicine Woman, Ceremonialist, and 4th generation indigenous drum and rattle maker. The craft runs in my blood – my uncle, my grandfather, those before them – but no one sat with me to teach. The knowing of how to make drums and rattles came through my bones, ancestral memory rising through my hands.
For over 26 years, I’ve walked a medicine path – learning to listen to Spirit, to trust ancestral knowing, to help others remember their sacred connection. The path wasn’t always clear, but every step taught me something about healing, about wholeness, about the courage it takes to come home to yourself.
Now, I create sacred spaces where profound transformation becomes possible. Whether I’m facilitating ceremony, sitting with healing clients, teaching people to make their own drums and rattles, or holding space for group work, everything I offer is ceremony. I help people heal the disconnection they feel from their bodies, their spirits, the Earth, and the Divine.
What happens when you work with me:
The majority of my ceremonies are divinely guided – downloaded directly from Spirit. When we gather, you’ll feel the presence of unconditional love. Ancestors show up. Spirit guides make themselves known. People come to be held and accepted exactly as they are, while doing the deep inner work they most need.
My gift is holding space where anything becomes possible. Where you can trust yourself again. Where you belong. Where you remember what your spirit already knows.
What people experience:
“I felt connected, transported to a magical place.”
“As soon as you looked into my eyes, I saw my grandmother who had passed. It was very moving, I went from missing her to feeling joy.”
“This was a life-altering event, it was magical!”
“I felt like you were pulling stuck stuff out of me.”
People call my work: “Extremely innovative,” “Deep energy work,” “Life-changing,” “Freeing.”
