Education Specialist, health coach, and Author.

I work with aspects of the teachings I have learned: from Andean shamanic and cosmology, to health, nutrition and education. In the end, it is very simple, and elegant. That is definitely an aspect I learned from the Andean teachings. Everything is energy. Energy must flow. Like water, when it does not flow, it stagnates and is not healthy. These techniques help your life to flow.

I have been initiated into many of the ancient lineages and learned ceremonies, rites of passage and healing techniques. Mostly, I learned a lot about a cosmology that is vastly different than Western belief systems. This is a HUGE distinction and very powerful in creating change and bringing healing. I have worked as a healer and done workshops and taught some of these aspects – passing the teachings on.

ASL: Help ALZ for Better Communication with Less Stress

I was reading a post in one of the Dementia support groups. And a very unrelated thought came to mind. I wondered if anyone ever tried teaching sign language to the elderly/ALZ patient? The incorporation of sign language could potentially bypass a lot of the frustration involved with communication. I wonder if this in part…

Partnership and Partners, Finding Boundaries and Respect

I was just following another blog post that was about how people receive advice from their partners.. and how well that works out…. what an awesome and interesting topic to delve into.. As a spiritual-medicine person, I think my way of addressing the topic is a little different than most “coaches” … and that’s great!…

Higher Vibrations and Healers Need the Lower Chakras MORE

I was out grazing my goats… a neighbor is very generous in saying it’s fine for the goats to graze in his open field. The dual benefit-drawback.. is that I need to stay somewhat in attendance while they are grazing. I can usually work a horse or teach a riding lesson, and keep them in…

What is Spirituality?

Spiritual and spirituality, spiritual but not religious…. Buzz terms that are all over these days.  But spirituality is one of those vague terms, like the term healing– which I will address in another posting topic– a vague term, in that there doesn’t seem to be a real tangible definition… but many people use the term…

Holistic Approaches to Mental Illness and Finding Empowerment

There are so many contributing factors to how we feel, and how well we function, both emotionally and mentally– including the physical. Some of the top holistic practitioners are beginning to understand the intrinsic connection between the mind and the body– as being more than just a hokey crunchy metaphor. The vagus nerve makes a…

Who are most Business Gurus and Coaches REALLY Trying to Help?

We all know that all the old paradigms, patterns and ways of doing things is changing– very fast.  This is also true for business.  Often we see a greater integration of the words business and spirituality– which appear to be such complete opposites.  But they aren’t– and more and more  the new business model is…

Citicoline to Help Improve Alzheimer Brain Function and Memory

Citicoline is yet another hugely beneficial amino acid for the Alzheimer-Dementia challenged brain. The great thing about amino acids is that they are the fundamental building blocks of our body and its needs. And, they are hugely beneficial, while posing the least and nominal “risks.” What is an amino acid, anyway? They are organic compounds……

Treating the Many Levels of Depression

Again on the discussion threads of LinkedIn.  Great food for thought originates from topics there. Someone asked about treating depression naturally. There were several responses from practitioners touting whatever approach they were employing. Exercise is beneficial, hypnotherapy can work to elevate serotonin levels in the brain.  Meditation can be helpful.  While all of these things…

Sulphur: The Importance for the Body and Health

Traditional diets naturally contained a lot of sulphur. Plants and vegetables (and then even the animals eating the plants) absorbed a lot of sulphur naturally. Today’s modern intensive (big-agra) farming techniques have depleted the soils of many vital nutrients. Sulphur is key among them. SO, the vast majority of people in modern, mainstream cultures are…

A Primer for Shamanic Journey Work

“There are more things in heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” — Hamlet, William Shakespeare These words are equally true today as they were when Shakespeare put them on paper. Quantum physics is beginning to demonstrate that the shaman’s have known exactly what they were doing and talking about, thousands…
